Solutions for ultra-low frequency (ULF) wave fields in the frequency range 1–100 mHz that interact with the Earth’s ionosphere in the presence of oblique background magnetic fields are described. Analytic expressions for the electric and magnetic wave fields in the magnetosphere, ionosphere and atmosphere are derived within the context of an inductive ionosphere. The inductive shielding effect ...

This study aims to replicate the irrelevant speech effect (ISE) in a local context and, more important, is the first to directly investigate if musical information can reduce impairments imposed by the ISE on a serial word recall task. Thirty-five undergraduates from the National University of Singapore performed serial recall on 10 word lists. The lists were presented under 5 auditory conditio...

PURPOSE To present a method for image segmentation and generation of enface thickness maps and reflectance images of retinal layers in healthy and diabetic retinopathy (DR) subjects. METHODS High density spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) images were acquired in 10 healthy and 4 DR subjects. Customized image analysis software identified 5 retinal cell layer interfaces and ge...

Fat oxidation has been shown to increase after short term green tea extract (GTE) ingestion and after one bout of intermittent sprinting exercise (ISE). Whether combining the two will result in greater fat oxidation after ISE is undetermined. The aim of the current study was to investigate the combined effect of short term GTE and a single session of ISE upon post-exercise fat oxidation. Fourte...

This paper presents an empirical analysis of volatility and contagion across 19 emerging and developed stock markets in the 1990s. First, using an efficient estimate of unconditional stock return volatility we show that contemporaneous return and volatility correlation across stock markets have increased substantially in the 1990s. Second, using simple rolling regressions and goodness of fit me...

Amaç: Alkol bağımlılığı alkolü yıkan enzimler ve dopaminerjik, gama aminobutrik asiderjik, glutamaetrjik, opiyat, kolinerjik ve serotonerjik sistemle ilgili genetik değişkenlerle ilişkilidir. Endojen kannabinoid sistemle ilgili genetik değişkenlerin de alkol bağımlılığında etkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, alkol bağımlılığı ile DRD2 TaqIA, 5-HT1B A-161T ve CNR1 1359 G/A (rs1049353) po...
