Six lighthorse stallions with previous sexual experience were used to determine the short-term effects of sexual stimulation (SS; 5 min exposure to an estrous mare), SS plus ejaculation (SSE), and no stimulation (control) on serum concentrations of LH, FSH, testosterone, cortisol and prolactin. Stallions received one treatment per day on d 1, 4 and 7. Treatments were assigned such that each sta...

Resumen Background: Emotional events are followed by recurrent talking about the event (Social Sharing of Emotion, SSE). Several factors that can account for variations in beliefs about SSE were examined: alexithymia, age and sex among two sample groups, Spanish (n= 388) and Uruguayan (n= 537). Method: Both samples completed the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Beliefs about S...

Grammatical Evolution (GE), which is one of the evolutionary computations, aims to find function, program or program segment satisfying the design objective. This paper describes the improvement of the Grammatical Evolution according to Stochastic Schemata Exploiter (GE-SSE) and its application to symbolic regression problem. Firstly, GE-SSE is compared with original GE in symbolic regression p...

In the model of no-dictionary verifiable searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) scheme, a client does not need to keep the set of keywords W in the search phase, where W is called a dictionary. Still a malicious server cannot cheat the client by saying that “your search word w does not exist in the dictionary W” when it exists. In the previous such schemes, it takes O(logm) time for the server t...

This paper re-examines the conditions for the existence of local stationary sunspot equilibria (SSE) in the standard OLG model from a broader perspective than before. We say that local SSE exist around a steady state of a given OLG economy if, in any arbitrarily small neighborhood of the steady state, we can find a SSE of a “nearby” economy. We show that when the domain where “nearby” economies...

We investigated various methods of parallelization of the Frish-Hasslacher-Pomeau (FHP) cellular automata algorithm for modeling fluid flow. These methods include SSE, AVX, and POSIX Threads for central processing units (CPUs) and CUDA for graphics processing units (GPUs). We present implementation details of the FHP algorithm based on AVX/SSE and CUDA technologies. We found that (a) using AVX ...

It has been shown that in vitro incubation of human colonic biopsies with the secondary bile acid deoxycholic acid (DCA) leads to the hyperproliferation of colonic crypt cells with an expansion of the proliferative zone, which is regarded as a biomarker of increased cancer risk. Sodium selenite (SSE), on the other hand, has been implicated as a protective agent in experimental studies, but toxi...

Studies were conducted to evaluate uterine motility and fertility of ova in ewes either given or not given supplemental selenium/vitamin E (SSE or NSE, respectively). The ewes were maintained on either an adequate plane of nutrition (APN) or an inadequate plane of nutrition (IPN). In a fertility study, 60 ewes were allotted to four treatment groups, (15 ewes per group): SSE-APN, NSE-APN, SSE-IP...

Objectives: To determine the effect of leg immersion in cold water after stretch-shortening exercise (SSE) on the time-course of indirect indicators of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Methods: Twenty healthy untrained men twice performed SSE consisting of 100 drop jumps (DJs) from 0.75 m height performed with maximal intensity with an interval of 20 s between the jumps. DJs were performe...

Safflower seed extract (SSE) contains characteristic polyphenols and serotonin derivatives (N-( p-coumaroyl) serotonin and N-feruloylserotonin), which are reported to inhibit oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), formation of atherosclerotic plaques, and improve arterial stiffness as assessed by pulse wave analysis in animal models. The effects of long-term supplementation with SSE on art...
