We investigated the effects of fish meal (FM) in beef cattle diets on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and fatty acid (FA) composition of longissimus muscle in 63 yearling steers (335 +/- 23 kg). High-moisture corn and alfalfa silage diets were supplemented with either a corn gluten/blood meal mixture or FM at 10% of the diet. Fish meal contained (as-is basis) 5.87 g/kg eicosapentae...

In this chapter, we utilize L–R method to calculate the parameters of performance fuzzy Markovian queueing system FM/FM/1 in transient regime. The technique calculating used is arithmetic numbers restricted secant approximations. membership function has helped us represent graphically curves into space three dimensions regime environment. An illustrative example given medical field show relevan...

Fetal movements (FM) are an expression of the physiologic activity of the fetus. During recent years, several reports have shown that a "normal" pattern of FM is related to the fetal well-being. .In situations of intrauterine distress, the incidence of FM changes (1,2). However, in most of the reported studies, the results are based ön the mothers' subjective evaluation of FM. Such a recording ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of 21 weeks' progressive strength training on neuromuscular function and subjectively perceived symptoms in premenopausal women with fibromyalgia (FM). METHODS Twenty one women with FM were randomly assigned to experimental (FM(T)) or control (FM(C)) groups. Twelve healthy women served as training controls (H(T)). The FM(T) and H(T) groups carried out prog...

OBJECTIVE To review the scientific literature concerning the classification of fibromyalgia (FM), including previous studies focusing on the gnosologic evaluation of FM, with the aim of proposing a classificatory hypothesis based on the current scientific evidence. METHODS Systematic review using a baseline MEDLINE search. Search terms included «fibromyalgia» and «classification». Additional ...
