The ecotoxicological effects of metformin and its metabolite, guanylurea, on Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(2018-08-01)
Human pharmaceutical waste threatens many natural processes of non-target aquatic organisms, through the introduction of such contaminants into the environment. Pharmaceuticals are a large and diverse groups of medicinal ...
The impact of restricted ration and chemical stressors on Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and American flagfish (Jordanella floridae)
(2017-12-01)
This research aimed to increase the understanding of the impact of multiple factors including both environmental and chemical stressors and their effects on fish survival, growth, and reproduction. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus ...
The Effects of 17α-Ethinylestradiol (EE2) and Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin (HPβCD) on the heart rate and metabolism of Embryonic Japanese Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(2019-04-01)
Estrogen toxicity has been an area of priority in aquatic toxicology over the last 20 years. The toxicity of a known estrogen mimic, 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), has been attributed to classical estrogen signaling within ...
Alloy catalysts for fuel cell-based alcohol sensors
(2016-05-01)
Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) are attractive from both economic and environmental standpoints for generating renewable energy and powering vehicles and portable electronic devices. The cost and performance of the DEFCs ...
Monolayer terpyridyl metal complexes for high-efficiency electrochromic materials
(2021-08-01)
Electrochromic materials (ECMs) can change their color with changes of applied electrochemical potential. Currently, the use of ECMs in the industry is limited to mainly inorganic metal oxides, conjugated conducting polymers, ...
Analysis of resistance nodulation division efflux pumps in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2015-01-01)
Strains from Canadian hospitals were classified as A. baumannii, A. pitti, or A. osocomialis and the most commonly expressed resistance nodulation division (RND) efflux pump was adeFGH. A collection of A. baumannii isolates ...
Mechanisms by which exercise promotes cognitive function in both depressed and non-depressed individuals
(2017-12-01)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating disease characterized by low mood, memory deficits, poor sleep quality and alterations in biochemical markers associated with neuroplasticity. Less than half of MDD patients ...
Determining the impact of carrion decomposition on soil microbial activity levels and community composition.
(2013-12-01)
The ubiquitous nature of microorganisms and their specificity to certain locations make them potentially useful for forensic investigators. Advances in microbial profiling techniques have made it possible to compare microbial ...
A secure and privacy-preserving incentive framework for vehicular cloud
(2018-04-01)
Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) plays a critical role in data generation where a large number of vehicles collect various kinds of sensing resources with large-volume features. While the information that should be collected ...
Towards molecular reconstruction in Coulomb explosion imaging
(2021-02-01)
The interaction of a fast laser with molecules at the femtosecond time scale, leads to the latter losing most of its valence electrons and become positively charged. The molecule which was initially in an equilibrium state, ...
