abstract   in this study, three groups of honey [natural honey; honey produced by the supplementary feeding of bees with saccharose syrup (ssh) and heat and acid (88 _ċ 2 h; 0.1% hcl) treated saccharose syrup honey (issh)] were produced and physicochemical (water content, ph, free acidity, ash, hmf, diastase activity, sucrose, protein and viscosity), microbiological and sensory properties of th...

Body Mass Index (BMI) is known to be associated with cancer mortality, but little is known about the link between lifetime changes in BMI and cancer mortality in both males and females. We studied the association of BMI measurements (at baseline, highest and lowest BMI during the study-period) and lifetime changes in BMI (calculated over different time periods (i.e. short time period: annual ch...

The absence of the face composite effect (FCE) for inverted faces is often considered evidence that holistic processing operates only on upright faces. However, such absence might be explained by power issues: Most studies that have failed to find the inverted FCE tested 24 participants or less. Here we find that the inverted FCE exists reliably when we tested at least 60 participants. The inve...

Rating one’s own personality traits is a common self-referential information processing task. The current paper examined the mechanism underlying this sort of trait-rating task by using a PC cursor tracing technique (Shiina, 2011a, b). The target phenomenon of interest was the inverted-U effect observed in trait ratings. The PC cursor tracing technique analyzed response times, tangential veloci...

introduction: osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease and several factors are involved in development and progression of the disease. the aim of this study was to increase our understanding of the relation between age, weight, bmi, postmenopausal age and bone mineral density in post menopause women. methods: 240 azarbaijani women aged 50-70 years having inclusion criteria were recruited. bone ...

background abo blood groups are associated with some important chronic diseases. obesity as a major risk factor of chronic non-communicable diseases is rising rapidly in iran as well as in developing countries. understanding the risks for obesity is important for its control. this study seeks to determine if there is any association between abo blood groups and body mass index (bmi). materials ...

A GENOME-WIDE ANALYSIS OF PERFECT INVERTED REPEATS IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA by Sutharzan Sreeskandarajan Perfect inverted repeats play wide variety of roles in genomes. In this study, we conduct a genome-wide analysis of perfect inverted repeats in Arabidopsis thaliana and explore the biological significance of the observed inverted repeat distribution. The roles of palindromic sequences are rev...
