Abstract The uncertain production-inventory problem with deteriorating items is investigated and an optimal control model developed in the present paper. perturbed by canonical process. Based on uncertainty theory, optimistic-value optimal-based established. study aims to find optimistic value of revenue at a certain confidence level. theory used obtain equation optimality. Using Hamilton–Jacob...

Investigations of self-acceptance are critical to understanding the development and maintenance of psychological health. However, valid and reliable instruments for measuring self-acceptance in persons with early blindness have yet to be developed. The current research describes three studies designed to develop and validate the Self-acceptance Scale for Persons with Early Blindness (SAS-EB). I...

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of ischemia/reperfusion injury on renal compensatory growth (CGR) and mitochondrial function. Methods: Forty five Wistar rats were divided in 3 groups: Control Group (GC) – 21 rats were submitted to a sham laparotomy and sacrificed at 1 (6 rats) and 7 (15 rats) postoperative days to evaluate the dry weight of both kidneys and their growth during 1 week (6 rats...

The hypothesis that ultraendurance exercise influences muscle mitochondrial function has been investigated. Athletes in ultraendurance performance performed running, kayaking, and cycling at 60% of their peak O(2) consumption for 24 h. Muscle biopsies were taken preexercise (Pre-Ex), postexercise (Post-Ex), and after 28 h of recovery (Rec). Respiration was analyzed in isolated mitochondria duri...

The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether item fluctuation (intertrial forgetting and spontaneous recovery) depends upon the time allowed for recall and/or the demand characteristics of the experimental situation (manipulated via instructions to S). One hundred. and forty-four university undergraduates studied a 36-item list and then had two successive recall trials which were 9, 3...
