Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between symptoms of depression and sleep duration with anthropometric measurements in obese children adolescents.Methods: Forty adolescents (25 girls) diagnosed obesity were included. Sociodemographic clinical data obtained using sociodemographic form. Age, gender, height weight values recorded; body mass index (BMI), percentile stand...

Background: The South African public service sector continues to lose employees due more favourable working conditions offered by organisations in the private sector. Understanding intention leave (ITL) can help mangers and leaders retain their highly skilled high performing staff.Aim: aim of study was determine direct indirect relationships between person–organisation fit (POF), job satisfacti...

Dispersions of TiO2 particles are widely used as the main pigment in white inks for inkjet printers due to its brightness and high opacity. The TiO2 particles, however, have a high density, and so the possible fast settling of these particles can cause maintenance problems for the printers and lower the printing quality. We studied the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a commonly used dis...

This paper describes the adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) molecules in a low polar solvent on Ge substrate by using Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The maximum SDS amount adsorbed is (5.0 ± 0.3) × 10(14) molecules cm(-2) in CHCl(3), while with the use of CCl(4) as subphase the ability of SDS adsorbed is ...

The objectives of this work were to evaluate two greenhouse screening methods for sudden death syndrome (SDS) and to determine which one is best correlated with fi eld resistance of soybean genotypes. The evaluations were done with three sets of genotypes that were classifi ed as partially resistant, intermediate, and susceptible to SDS based on previous fi eld evaluations. These three sets wer...

We prepared solid dispersions (SDs) of tanshinone IIA (TSIIA) with silica nanoparticles, which function as dispersing carriers, using a spray-drying method and evaluated their in vitro dissolution and in vivo performance. The extent of TSIIA dissolution in the silica nanoparticles/TSIIA system (weight ratio, 5:1) was approximately 92% higher than that of the pure drug after 60 minutes. However,...
