The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of the BOD POD® when compared to the DXA and if placement on a percentile chart and standard table is affected by any differences between the two measures. A total of 244 (27.7 ± 10.8 yrs, 77.3 ± 16.1 kg, 171.4 ± 10.1 cm, 26.31 ± 5.42 BMI) males and females between the ages of 18 and 52 were recruited to participate in this study. The part...

Zhang X., Shao X. (2015): Characterisation of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase and the role in browning of loquat fruit. Czech J. Food Sci., 33: 109–117. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) were extracted from a new loquat fruit cultivar (Ninghaibai) and characterised using reliable spectrophotometric methods. In both cases, the optimum pH for PPO was 4.5 and 5 for POD, and their opt...

 Methodology: One hundred fifty participants either gender, ages 14 24 years, with good quality orthopantomogram (OPG) showin...

in order to study the phenological and morphological characteristics, comparison of yield and yield components, correlation between traits and determination of the parameters affecting seed yield, a field experiment was carried out at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2007. ten lentil genotypes were compared by a randomized complete block design with three replications. the analysis...

A study was conducted to evaluate the seasonal influence on yield and yield contributing characters of four lablab bean genotypes: IPSA Seam-1, IPSA Seam-2, BU Seam-3 and JER during September 2000 to December 2001 covering one main season (winter) and two off-seasons (early summer and late summer). Compared to off-seasons, all the genotypes performed better for all the parameters during winter....

The objective of the current study was to quantify genetic variability, heritability, and advance as a percentage mean among 20 genotypes pea (Pisum sativum L.) using ten quantitative characters at Horticulture Research Centre (HRC) Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University Agriculture Technology, Meerut, U.P, in years 2021–2022. results ANOVA revealed substantial variations across for each attribute...

This investigation examined the accuracy of the BOD POD on a group of Division I collegiate track and field female athletes (N = 30). Hydrostatic weighing (HW) was used as the gold standard method. Body density (Db) values obtained from the BOD POD (Db BP) were compared with those determined by HW (Db HW). Both Db values were converted to percent body fat (%BF) using the Siri equation for compa...

Hyperloop is a new mode of transportation proposed as an alternative to California’s high speed rail project, with the intended benefits of higher performance at lower overall costs. It consists of a passenger pod traveling through a tube under a light vacuum and suspended on air bearings. The pod travels up to transonic speeds resulting in a 35 minute travel time between the intended route fro...

The tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) is sensitive to cold, and low field temperatures can result in shortened growth periods and decreased crop yield. Transcription of CRT/DRE-binding factor (CBF) is regulated by INDUCER of CBF EXPRESSION1 (ICE1). CBF activates many downstream genes that confer cold tolerance on plants. ICE1 has been used in genetic engineering to improve cold-resistan...

The Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) or Karhunen-Lo eve Transform (KLT) is a powerful tool to obtain low-dimensional models for large scale dynamical systems, described by partial diierential equations. Starting from a set of solutions (obtained by experiment or computation), called snapshots, the method computes an \optimal" basis of eigenmodes for the snapshots , which can be used to con...
