N–nitrosodiethylamine cytochrome P450 induction and cytotoxicity evaluation in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-07)The primary routes of potential human exposure to N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) are ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Air, diet and smoking contribute to potential human exposure at levels of a few µg of NDEA/day. ... -
Oil a Blessing or Curse: A Comparative Assessment of Nigeria, Norway and the United Arab Emirates
(2018-04)Oil booms have brought unprecedented wealth and development to some countries while in others this has not been the case. The latter is attributed to the resource curse phenomenon which has been explained by the Dutch ... -
On the Design of Circular Fractal Antenna with U-Shape Slot in CPW-Feed
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-10)new ultawideband circular fractal antenna with notched-band characteristics is presented. A notched-band characteristic is achieved by employing a U-shape slot in 50 Ω feed lines. The ultra-wideband impedance matching and ... -
On the Economic Premium Principle
(Scientific Research, 2018-02)In this study, we propose an equilibrium pricing rule to capture a characteristic observed in the practical option market. The market has observed that the implied volatility derived from the Black-Scholes formula is ... -
On the solutions of field equations due to rotating bodies in General Relativity
(Polytech, 2017-12)A metric, describing the field due to bodies in stationary rotation about their axes and compatible with a stationary electromagnetic field, has been studied in present paper. Using Lie symmetry reduction approach we have ... -
On Volatility Transmission from Crude Oil to Agricultural Commodities
(Scientific Research, 2017-02)The paper examines volatility transmission from crude oil market to agricultural commodities like wheat, corn, cotton and soybeans. We find that the volatility transmission from crude oil to agricultural commodities ... -
On-Line Measurement of the Chemical Oxygen Demand in Wastewater in a Pulp and Paper Mill Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Scientific Research, 2014-10)Although near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been evaluated for numerous applications, the number of actual on-line or even on-site industrial applications seems to be very limited. In the present paper, the attempts ... -
Online-specific fear of missing out and Internet-use expectancies contribute to symptoms of Internet-communication disorder
(Elsevier, 2017-06)Some of the most frequently used online applications are Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter. These applications allow individuals to communicate with other users, to share information or pictures, and to stay in contact with ... -
Optical and Electrical Properties of Nanocrystalline SnO2 Thin Films Synthesized by Chemical Bath Deposition Method
(Scientific Research, 2015-10)The chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique was used for the synthesis of the tin oxide (SnO2) thin films. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to find the crystallite size by using Debye Scherrer’s formula. The surface ... -
Optimal M-BCJR Turbo Decoding: The Z-MAP Algorithm
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-10)In this paper, we propose a novel idea for improvement performances of the leader M-BCJR algorithm functioning in low complexity. The basic idea consists to localize error instant possibility, and then increase the complexity ... -
Optimal Territorial Resources Placement for Multipurpose Wireless Services Using Genetic Algorithms
