BACKGROUND Diet-induced weight loss is accompanied by adaptive thermogenesis, ie, a disproportional or greater than expected reduction of resting metabolic rate (RMR). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether adaptive thermogenesis is sustained during weight maintenance after weight loss. DESIGN Subjects were 22 men and 69 women [mean ± SD age: 40 ± 9 y; body mass index (B...

The color of grapevine berries is one the most important quality parameters that define appearance, attracts consumer, and determines price, especially in red grape cultivars. Some varieties show less development due to many factors such as temperature, light intensity, agricultural management. present study aimed evaluate diverse phytohormones coupled with grafting on fruit coloration ’Crimson...

Religion's relationships with weight perception and weight control behavior were examined using data (3032 adults aged 25-74) from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States. Religion was conceptualized as denomination, religious attendance/practice, religious social support, religious commitment, religious application, and religious identity. Weight perception was conceptu...

In this paper, for an odd prime p, by extending Li et al.'s construction [17], several classes of two-weight and three-weight linear codes over the finite field Fp are constructed from a defining set, then their complete weight enumerators determined using Weil sums. Furthermore, we show that some examples these optimal or almost with respect to Griesmer bound. Our results generalize correspond...

to evaluate durum pasta quality traits, using international standards, a study was conducted on seven improved and local durum wheat varieties. the traits examined included grain vitreousity (i.cc. no. 129), grain hardness index (h.i.), yellow berry (y.b.(, black point (h.p.), hectoliter weight (h.l.w.), thousand kerne! weight (t.k-w.j, protein percentage (i.cc. no. 105.1), protein quality ...
