Temperature dependence of force of gravitation is one of the fundamental problems of physics. This problem has got special value in connection with that the general theory of relativity, supposing the weakest positive influence of a body temperature on its weight, actually rejects an opportunity of measurement of negative influence of temperature on gravity in laboratory conditions. Really, the...

BACKGROUND: To investigate the effect of body temperature and moisture on body fat (%fat), volume and density by air-displacement plethysmography (BOD POD). METHODS: %fat, body volume and density by the BOD POD before (BOD PODBH) and immediately following hydrostatic weighing (BOD PODFH) were performed in 32 healthy females (age (yr) 33 +/- 11, weight (kg) 64 +/- 14, height (cm) 167 +/- 7). Bod...

It has been argued that the amount of time spent by humans in thermoneutral environments has increased in recent decades. This paper examines evidence of historic changes in winter domestic temperatures in industrialised countries. Future trajectories for indoor thermal comfort are also explored. Whilst methodological differences across studies make it difficult to compare data and accurately e...

The body temperatures of infants weighing less than 1500 g under radiant warmers during routine care were documented in the first week of life. Ten infants (median gestational age 28 weeks, median birthweight 913 g) were studied. During 30 nursing interventions (mean 9.2 minutes) mean oesophageal and foot temperature changed 0 degrees C and -0.11 degrees C, respectively. A radiant warmer may li...

diabetes is a metabolic disorder which affects whole body systems including reproductive system. diabetes is also a contributing factor to infertility. metformin is one of the most common drugs to control hyperglycemia. in this study, 36 adult sprague-dawley female rats (170-210 g) were divided into 3 groups (control, diabetic and diabetic-treated by metformin). in second and third groups, diab...

background: malnutrition is one of the most common hazards which compromise children’s health. previous studies have reported high rates of malnutrition in kohkilouyeh and boyer ahmad. objective: this study was conducted to evaluate the frequency of child malnutrition in yasuj and to explore the association between family characteristics and malnutrition. methods: data were collected from healt...

background: considering the importance and prevalence of obesity and the desire to lose weight, especially among women, this study intended to investigate the relationship between body mass index, body satisfaction, and weight control behavior among women employees in isfahan. methods: an analytical cross‑sectional study was conducted among 408 women who were selected by stratified random sampl...

AIM The present study was conducted to investigate the important climatic variables affecting production and reproduction in a broiler breeder flock. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experiment was conducted for a period of 1 year on colored synthetic female line male and female poultry birds. 630 female progeny and 194 male progenies from 69 sires and 552 dams produced in four consecutive hatches a...
