Cardiovascular health risk posed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and ultrafine particles.
(2018-01)
There is increased cardiovascular disease incidence attributed to ambient air pollution. It is
estimated that ischaemic heart disease and stroke account for 80% of ambient air pollutionrelated
early deaths. The most ...
Cellular pathways involved in silica nanoparticles induced apoptosis: A systematic review of in vitro studies.
(Elsevier, 2017-12)
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been found to pass through biological barriers and get distributed in the human body. They induce cell apoptosis via various mechanisms in body organs. To understand these mechanisms, we ...
A uniform circular array of isotropic sensors that stochastically dislocate in three dimensions—The hybrid Cramer-Rao bound of direction-of-arrival estimation
(Acoustical Society of America, 2019-07)
An array’s constituent sensors could be spatially dislocated from their nominal positions. This
paper investigates how such sensor dislocation would degrade a uniform circular array (UCA) of
isotropic sensors (like ...
Azolla Fern in Mwea Irrigation Scheme and Its Potential Nitrogen Contribution in Paddy Rice Production
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2019-11)
Azolla fern is invasive in Mwea Irrigation Scheme in Kenya and its management in paddy rice fields is a
challenge to farmers. A survey was undertaken to establish farmer’s knowledge and potential nitrogen
contribution ...
Hybrid Cram er-Rao bound of direction finding, using a triad of cardioid sensors that are perpendicularly oriented and spatially collocated
(Acoustical Society of America, 2019-07)
Cardioid microphones/hydrophones are highly directional acoustical sensors, which enjoy easy
availability via numerous commercial vendors for professional use. Collocating three such cardioids
in orthogonal orientation ...
Cramer-Rao Bound of Direction Finding Using Uniform Arc Arrays
(2019)
Direction-of-Arrival estimation accuracy using arc array geometry is considered in this paper.
There is a scanty use of Uniform Arc Array (UAA) in conjunction with Cram er-Rao bound (CRB)
for Direction-of-Arrival estimation. ...
A global synthesis of the effects of diversified farming systems on arthropod diversity within fields and across agricultural landscapes. Global Change Biology
(Wiley Online Library, 2017-03)
Agricultural intensification is a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, which can reduce the provisioning of ecosystem services in managed ecosystems. Organic farming and plant diversification are farm management ...
Trait matching of flower visitors and crops predicts fruit set better than trait diversity
(Wiley Online Library, 2015)
Summary
Understanding the relationships between trait diversity, species diversity and ecosystem functioning is essential for sustainable management. For functions comprising two trophic levels, trait matching between ...
Genome-wide transcriptional analysis of cardiovascular-related genes and pathways induced by PM2. 5 in human myocardial cells.
(2017-04)
Air pollution has been a major environment-related health threat. Most of the studies on PM2.5 toxicity have verified on the cardiovascular system and endothelial cells. However, researches on PM2.5-induced myocardial-related ...
Gene profiles to characterize the combined toxicity induced by low level co-exposure of silica nanoparticles and benzo[a]pyrene using whole genome microarrays in zebrafish embryos.
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
Several studies have suggested that air pollutants combine exposure have greater adverse effects. However, limited studies were available on the combined toxicity of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). ...
