BACKGROUND Dengue fever (DF) outbreaks often arise from imported DF cases in Cairns, Australia. Few studies have incorporated imported DF cases in the estimation of the relationship between weather variability and incidence of autochthonous DF. The study aimed to examine the impact of weather variability on autochthonous DF infection after accounting for imported DF cases and then to explore th...

the objective of the present study was to estimate heritability values for some performance and egg quality traits of native fowl in isfahan breeding center using reml and bayesian approaches. the records were about 51521 and 975 for performance and egg quality traits, respectively. at the first step, variance components were estimated for body weight at hatch (bw0), body weight at 8 weeks of a...

The increase in use and misuse of psychoactive substances is a global challenge of grave public health concern. This study aims to ascertain the patterns and socio-demographic correlates of psychoactive substances among undergraduates in a Nigerian University. Two hundred and ninety three subjects participated in the study. Questionnaires on risk factors and variation of psychoactive substances...

BACKGROUND Asian sand dust (ASD) originates from the arid and semiarid areas of China, and epidemiologic studies have shown that ASD exposure is associated with various allergic and respiratory symptoms. However, few studies have been performed to assess the relationship between skin inflammation and ASD exposure. METHODS Twelve-week-old NC/Nga mice were divided into 6 groups (n = 8 for each ...

Distributed linear solutions of the EEG source localization problem are used routinely. Here we describe an approach based on the weighted minimum norm method that imposes constraints using anatomical and physiological information derived from other imaging modalities to regularize the solution. In this approach the hyperparameters controlling the degree of regularization are estimated using re...

The main aim of considerations in the problem of estimation of variance components σ 1 and σ 2 2 by using the ML-method and REML-method in normal mixed linear model N{Y, E(Y ) = Xβ, Cov(Y ) = σ 1V + σ 2In} was concerned in the examination of theirs efficiency. It is particularly important when an explicit form of these estimators is unknown and we search for the solutions of the likelihood equa...

Dietary fibers (DF) may affect energy balance, an effect often ascribed to the viscous nature of some water soluble DF, which affect luminal viscosity and thus multiple physiological processes. We have tested the hypothesis that viscous linseed DF reduce apparent nutrient digestibility, and limit weight gain, in a randomized feeding trial where 60 male, growing, Wistar rats, with an initial wei...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of walking with talus taping on the ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion (DF PROM) in individuals with limited ankle DF PROM. [Subjects] Fifteen ankles with limited DF PROM were examined. [Methods] After rigid strapping tape was applied to the ankles from the talus to the calcaneus, progressing posteriorly and inferiorly, the subjects walked o...
