conclusions overall, the results of this study indicate that intermittent exercise reduces the plasma leptin level. in addition, this reduction is significantly correlated to the glucose level in the blood. the continuous exercise was shown to have no effects on the plasma leptin level, and there was no relationship between the glucose and leptin levels. results the results demonstrated that se...

About at the break of sixties and seventies of this century the first functional and publicly used information system developed from originally experimental and non commercial applications of computer technology in storing and retrieval of document records. At the beginning these were mostly parallel editions of bibliographies in both printed and magnetic format. Thus developed on one hand data...

In the economical caching problem, an online algorithm is given a sequence of prices for a certain commodity. The algorithm has to manage a buffer of fixed capacity over time. We assume that time proceeds in discrete steps. In step i, the commodity is available at price ci ∈ [α, β], where β > α ≥ 0 and ci ∈ N. One unit of the commodity is consumed per step. The algorithm can buy this unit at th...

The Qur’an, the word of God, is the best book that has been revealed to guide human beings contains a complete plan of human life. However, in addition to educational, ethical, and religious issues, it also contains valuable scientific information. Several verses in the Holy Qur’an discuss the importance of breast milk and its proper planning. Qur’an also orders up parents, especially mothers, ...

The importance of software systems for the planning and execution of production has drastically increased over the past decades. This has lead to a growth in number of software systems used within sites. The company’s problem today is no longer only to find relevant software systems but rather to coordinate and synchronize existing systems. Students at higher technical educations e.g., bachelor...

As a service to the bridge design profession, Bethlehem Steel has conducted hundreds of studies of steel plate girder bridges using its Preliminary Bridge Girder Optimization Program. The program is unique because it optimizes plate girder designs on the basis of least cost, not least weight. An evaluation of many study results leads to a number of guidelines which are offered in this paper. Wh...

This thesis proposes architectures and algorithms for digital acquisition of parametric signals. It furthermore provides bounds for the performance of these systems in the presence of noise. Our simple acquisition circuitry and low sampling rate enable accurate parameter estimation to be achieved economically. In present practice, sampling and estimation are not integrated: the sampling device ...

I am writing on behalf of the continuing medical education and continuing professional development offices at the 17 Canadian medical schools. For many years, we have had the same concerns as those expressed by Paul Hébert and the Editorial-Writing Team in a recent CMAJ editorial, and we have worked diligently to provide high-quality continuing education programs with minimal bias. We are activ...

introduction: knowledge is one of the most important assets of any organization and the importance of knowledge management in the information age is considered more than ever. experts believe that organizational success or failures are associated with knowledge management. both implicit and explicit knowledge management are so important in disaster management. the aim of this study is to determ...

For initiation of an immune response, resting T cells must reprogram their metabolism. Continuing the "From the Field" series (see Editorial [2007] 26, 131), Jones and Thompson draw attention to the importance of metabolism during T cell activation and consider how this process is regulated by receptor-mediated signal transduction.
