The Navy requires an understanding of how markers of stress relate to marine mammal health. This information will inform Navy environmental stewardship efforts and will guide decision making regarding Navy actions with the potential to affect the health of wild marine mammal populations. The research program reported here aids our understanding of how the stress response operates in marine mamm...

BACKGROUND Depleted uranium (DU) use has been implicated in the poor health of many service personnel who have served in the Gulf and the Balkans. Although the health related risks are thought to be small the UK government has offered to set up a voluntary screening programme for service personnel. This study aimed to find out the characteristics and possible exposures to DU for those personnel...

An investigation was conducted to compare fitness changes elicited by standard Navy recruit physical training with a similar but more intense version of standard training. The sample population included 224 Navy recruits between the ages of 17-30 (means = 19.7 years) participating in 8-week Navy basic training at the Recruit Training Command, San Diego, CA. Subjects were drawn from three recrui...

Bu çalışmada, alizarin red S’in silika jel üzerine çözeltiden adsorpsiyonu araştırılmıştır. pH, adsorbent konsantrasyonu ve temas süresi gibi etkenlerin S boyar maddesinin adsorpsiyon davranışı üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. 25 0C sıcaklıkta, 20 mg adsorban mg/L adsorbat çözeltilerle kinetiği, yalancı birinci mertebeden ikinci modelleri olmak üzere iki kinetik model kullanılarak Adsorpsiyonun...

Cockpit moving-maps have provided heightened situation awareness to Navy fighter pilots for over ten years. The Navy now plans to install a moving-map into its multifunction MH-60S helicopter, which will perform sea-based missions such as combat search and rescue and mine countermeasures. The authors surveyed 49 Navy helicopter aircrew for their preferences with respect to four map types and si...

When the South Sea Bubble burst in 1720, there was an outpouring of critical commentary. This took a variety forms but centred around common themes fraud and ruin. Three hundred years later, is renewed focus on horrors slave trade. In addition, slaving companies needed help Royal Navy navy used impressment. Forced labour essential part story often erased from it or merely mentioned passing. Com...

Commercially available dyes of the esculetin and alizarin families are identified as lead structures for constructing ratiometric fluorescent probes for zinc ions.

Calcium ions have very strong affinity and binds effectively to alizarin red dye during staining of biomaterials. This promotes us to choose calcium hydroxide as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of alizarin red dye. Various parameters such as pH, concentration, dose of adsorbent, time, and temperature have been investigated. In addition, enthalpy, entropy, free energy and activation energy ...

Staining is an auxiliary technique used in microscopy to enhance contrast in the microscopic image. Stains and dyes are frequently used in biology and medicine to highlight structures in biological tissues for viewing, often with the aid of different microscopes [1]. Hematoxylin and eosin stain (H&E stain or HE stain), is the routine staining for skin biopsies. However, in some circumstances, d...
