Biological effects of static electric and 50-Hz electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields with intensities similar to occupational exposure have been analyzed at the Bioelectromagnetic Laboratory of Biophysics Department in the Medical Faculty... more
Emx2 is a vertebrate homeobox gene involved in the control of the central nervous system development. In the formation of cerebral cortex, Emx2 expression is restricted mainly to the germinal ventricular zone fading away in the first... more
In conjunction with its development of high performance air bags for small cars in the early 1970's, Minicars, Inc. attempted to provide truly passive protection in all accident modes. The passive interior concept was epitomized in the... more
In the recent methodological individualism-holism debate on explanation, there has been considerable focus on what reasons methodological holists may advance in support of their position. We believe it is useful to approach the other... more
International research, has demonstrated that acculturation implemented through school mechanisms, via specific practices, act as stabilizing agents for the social system, and as tools for imposing disciplineand integrating people within... more
In this paper, I evaluate recently defended mechanistic accounts of the unity of neuroscience from a metaphysical point of view. Considering the mechanistic framework in general (section 2 and 3), I argue that explanations of this kind... more
A novel design of compliant slider-crank mechanism is introduced and utilized as an impact and contact-force generator. This class of compliant slider mechanisms incorporates an elastic coupler, which is an initially straight flexible... more
Abstract- Wear plate welding machines requires some special raw material handling system as they are heavy to handle.Wear plate welding requires 4-5 workers for handling and clamping of raw material. This paper reviews different material... more
Neurogenesis in the compound eyes of Drosophila and the camera eyes of vertebrates spreads in a wave-like fashion. In both phyla, waves of hedgehog expression are known to drive the wave of neuronal differentiation. The mechanism... more
[Purpose] This study reports the effects of the Muslim prayer, known as Salat, on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) while performing and miming the actions of Salat: standing, bowing, prostrating and sitting. [Subjects] Thirty... more
In this article, I present two conceptual problems for Craver’s mutual manipulability account of constitutive relevance in mechanisms. First, constitutive relevance threatens to imply causal relevance despite Craver (and Bechtel)’s claim... more
