Increased glucocorticoid action and adipose tissue inflammation contribute to excess adiposity. These adaptations may be enhanced in offspring exposed to nutrient restriction (NR) in utero, thereby increasing their susceptibility to later obesity. We therefore determined the developmental ontogeny of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11betaHSD) types 1 and 2, an...

OBJECTIVE Maternal hypovitaminosis D may impair fetal growth and cause adverse pregnancy outcomes including intrauterine growth restriction and neonatal low birth weight. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between maternal vitamin D status and neonate's birth weight. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional, descriptive analytical study was carried out in the nursery ward of...

Each Gr-category (or categorical group) is Gr-equivalent to a Grcategory of type (Π, A, ξ), where Π is a group, A is a Π-module and ξ is a 3-cocycle of Π, with coefficients in A. In this paper, first we show that each Gr-functor induces one between Gr-categories of type (Π, C). Then we give results on the existence of Gr-functor and the classification of Gr-functors by cohomology groups H(Π, C)...

The aim of the project was to investigate the application of security protocol analysis techniques to security APIs. Security protocols are short programs that describe the secure exchange of information over an insecure network, using cryptography. Security APIs are the Application Program Interfaces of tamper-resistant hardware security modules, commonly used in security critical applications...

Abstract. A type of lightweight concrete called cellular (CLC) has a lower volume weight than ordinary and is made cement, sand, water, foaming agent. In this investigation, CLC was utilized as brick. The purpose study to ascertain how the compressive strength bricks would change if stone dust were used in place fine aggregate. Making with substitutions 0%, 50%, 100% aggregate experimental proc...

1 Introduction Many languages systematically avoid stressing final syllables. This dispreference for final stress can be seen both in languages with weight-insensitive stress and those with weight-sensitive stress. For example, many languages with weight-insensitive stress, e.g. Nahuatl (Wolgemuth 1981), Polish (Comrie 1976), regularly stress the penultimate syllable, the syllable closest to th...

in this study records of 15723, 12108 and 5236 zel sheep for birth weight (bw), weaning weight (ww) and 6-month weight (6mw) traits were used. data has been collected by the jahad-e-keshavarzi organization of province of mazandaran during 1994-2009. the heritability of direct and maternal of growth traits was estimated using the univariate analysis with restricted maximum likelihood (reml). in ...

Abstract Reactive synthesis is an automated procedure to obtain a correct-by-construction reactive system from its temporal logic specification. GR(1) expressive assume-guarantee fragment of LTL that enables efficient and has been recently used in different contexts application domains. A common form providing system's requirements through use cases, which are existential nature. However, GR(1)...
