Recently, the energy resources have been decreased while the global energy demand is expected to grow rapidly. This has led the authorities associated with traffic management to seek various solutions for enhancing energy efficiency of the huge numbers of lamps used in traffic light systems. Hence, many metropolitan areas, like Istanbul, have started using traffic lights equipped with LEDs inst...

The purpose of the study was to collect data and evaluate an age-based bulb replacement policy for projectors used in Technology-enhanced classrooms in a university campus. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) had instituted a policy to replace bulbs in these projectors after either failure or 1800 h of operation without failure. However, databases maintained by OIT included the time to b...

Ditylenchus dipsaci (Kühn) Filipjev is a serious pest of commercial daffodil (Narcissus sp.) in northern California. The control measures practiced by growers in recent years are postharvest treatment of planting bulbs for 3 hours in a 1% solution of formalin at 44 C combined with preplant soil fumigation with 1,3-dicbloropropene and (or) at-planting applications of phorate. In field trials, se...

In patients with glioblastoma multiforme, recurrence is the rule despite continuous advances in surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Within these malignant gliomas, glioblastoma stem cells or initiating cells have been recently described, and they were shown to be specifically involved in experimental tumorigenesis. In this study, we show that some human glioblastoma cells injected into the ...

Default options exert an influence in areas as varied as retirement program design, organ donation policy, and consumer choice. Past research has offered potential reasons why no-action defaults matter: (a) effort, (b) implied endorsement, and (c) reference dependence. The first two of these explanations have been experimentally demonstrated, but the latter has received far less attention. In t...

The mink is a semiaquatic mammal with a markedly elongated but proportionately narrowed hemisphere, its telencephalon resembling more closely that of the weasel than that of the cat or the dog. I ts telencephalon shows, in general, the morphological pattern characteristic of carnivores but exhibits certain variations and modifications of structure which distinguish it from the homologous region...

Increased AMPA signaling is proposed to mediate long-term memory. Rat neonates acquire odor preferences in a single olfactory bulb if one nostril is occluded at training. Memory testing here confirmed that only trained bulbs support increased odor preference at 24 h. Olfactory nerve field potentials were tested at 24 h in slices from trained and untrained bulbs. A larger AMPA component and a sm...

Invitro antimycotic effect of the coconut, mustard, groundnut & soyabeen oils and the seeds of trigonella, ajwoin, mustard and garlic bulbs were mixed in the above oil samples to determine their effect on the spore germination of five pathogenic fungi i.e., Aspergillus niger, A.flavus, Absidia corymbifera, Penicilium nigricans and Candida albicans, isolated from otitic fungal infection of exter...

Sodium Tetraborate, also known as Borax, is a chemical compound which derivative of metal boron gas (B), used an antifungal compound, wood preservative, and antiseptic in cosmetics. The use Borax preservative food has been banned by the government. purpose this study was to help remove levels borax found meatball bulbs. Sampling determined Balongbendo District, Sidoarjo Regency. Analysis conten...

Before acclimatization of Bowiea volubilis, in vitro propagated bulbs were cleaned and separated into four sizes (from 6 to 15 mm). We formed a total 10 groups with 30-30 individuals, distributing the evenly. Four types substrate (peat, perlite, coconut fiber, sand) their mixtures 50-50% used. Previously we examined three parameters: length, diameter weight bulbs; later successfully acclimatize...
