We investigated the effects of resistance exercise combined with essential amino acid supplementation on psoas major muscle (PMM) hypertrophy and walking ability in elderly individuals. Twenty-nine healthy elderly individuals were assigned to 3 groups: (1) E (exercise), (2) A3 (exercise combined with 3.0 g of essential amino acid supplementation), and (3) A6 (exercise combined with 6.0 g of ess...

In 2002 and 2006, respectively, miltefosine (MIL) and paromomycin (PMM) were licensed in the Indian subcontinent for treatment of visceral leishmaniasis; however, their future routine use might become jeopardized by the development of drug resistance. Although experimental selection of resistant strains in vitro has repeatedly been reported using the less relevant promastigote vector stage, the...

INTRODUCTION With PACS and medical imaging technology maturing, the importance of organizational maturity and effective deployment of PACS in the hospital enterprise are becoming significant. OBJECTIVE The objective of this paper is twofold. Firstly, PACS literature on maturity and evolvability in the hospital enterprise is analyzed, resulting in an overview of the relevant developments conce...

Coxiella burnetii, the etiologic agent of human Q fever, is a gram-negative and naturally obligate intracellular bacterium. The O-specific polysaccharide chain (O-PS) of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of C. burnetii is considered a heteropolymer of the two unusual sugars β-D-virenose and dihydrohydroxystreptose and mannose. We hypothesize that GDP-D-mannose is a metabolic intermediate to GDP-β-D-...

George Mekhtarian PMM, Synopsys Why Multicore Analysis? In the last few years, the trend in CPU performance improvement has shifted from raw computational speed to parallelism as various memory and power (heat dissipation) limits have been reached at the higher clock frequencies. After surpassing clock speeds of 3 GHz, further CPU performance improvement is now achieved by increasing the number...

in this study, the relationships between human resource practices (hrps), firm performance (service quality), and the mediation effects of employees’ abilities were examined. to assess the relationships between variables, before evaluating the fitted structural model, the measurement model was defined to verify that the measurement variables used to reflect the unobserved constructs do so in a ...

today's, in the variable and complex domestic and international environments,organizations face with numerous challenges. performance measurement andperformance management in such a situation will be very complicated and difficult.to date, several models have been proposed to evaluate the performance oforganizations. one of the most successful models, the balanced scorecard (bsc) is.but th...
