background: the association between the lipid profiles level and the incidence and severity of coronary heart disease (chd) is very pronounced in epidemiological studies, and an inverse relation between physical fitness and the incidence of coronary heart disease has been observed in many studies. the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a soccer match on lipid parameters of profe...

introduction: abnormal lipid profile causes maternal mortality and impairs fetal development. this study investigated the effect of ramadan fasting on plasma lipid profile in pregnant women. material and methods: this self-control, cohort study was performed in healthy volunteer fasted pregnant women. serum cholesterol, triglyceride (tg), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein ...

graphite oxide constitutes carbon network with oxygen atoms both on hexagonal arrangement and the edge sites. structural and electronic properties for graphite-oxygen complexes have been explored using first-principles total-energy calculations within the local density approximation (lda). band structures and density of states for the propose carbon 3d models are reported. a finite energy gap and...

pauesia antennata mukerji (hymenoptera, braconidae) as the unique parasitoid of the giant brown peach aphid, pterochloroides persiace cholodkovsky (hemiptera, aphididae) is considered to be the most effective biological control agent of this pest. in this study, the assessment of selected biological parameters of p. antennata demonstrated that the longevity of mature parasitoid was 3.90 ± 0.22,...

in this study, the structures, the ir spectroscopy, and the electronic properties of auncum (n+m≤5) bimetallic clusters were studied and compared with those of pure gold and copper clusters using the generalized gradient approximation (gga) and exchange correlation density functional theory (dft). the study of an o2-auncum system is important to identify the promotion effects of each of the two...

the density and polarization profiles of the dipolar hard ellipsoids confined between hard walls are studied using the density functional theory (dft). the hyper-netted chain (hnc) approximation is used to write excess grand potential of the system with respect to the bulk value. the number density is expanded up to zero and first order in polarization to find the results. for the zero order in...

Mouse 3T3 cells and their Simian Virus 40-transformed derivatives (3T3SV) were used to assess the relationship of transformation, cell density, and growth control to the cellular distribution of newly synthesized glycosaminoglycan (GAG). Glucosamineand galactosamine-containing G A G were labeled equivalently by [all]glucose regardless of culture type, allowing incorporation into the various G A...

Climbing plants need to reach supports and position their leaves for light capture. Vines lianas develop a large diversity of self-supporting shoots among diverse species different kinds attachment. A searcher’s is crucial trait colonising in complex three-dimensional spaces. We explore the capacity searcher representative temperate tropical climbing plants. investigate overall range variation ...
