objective: in recent years the use of herbal slimming supplements has increased in iran. one problem may be the illegal inclusion of synthetic drugs by some manufacturers in these products. the aim of this study is to determine four undeclared synthetic adulterants in some herbal slimming products present in the iranian market. methods: this survey studyresearched six common herbal slimming sup...

Slim groupoids are groupoids satisfying x(yz) ≈ xz. We find all simple slim groupoids and all minimal varieties of slim groupoids. Every slim groupoid can be embedded into a subdirectly irreducible slim groupoid. The variety of slim groupoids has the finite embeddability property, so that the word problem is solvable. We introduce the notion of a strongly nonfinitely based slim groupoid (such g...

Two measures of implicit attitudes, the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) and the Implicit Association Test (IAT), were compared with each other and with a measure of explicit attitudes in the assessment of implicit pro-slim/anti-fat bias. Results from both implicit tests indicated higher levels of bias than revealed by the explicit measure. The IRAP data suggested that it was par...

cozero maps are generalized forms of cozero elements. two particular cases of cozero maps, slim and regular cozero maps, are significant. in this paper we present methods to construct slim and regular cozero maps from a given  cozero map. the construction of the slim and the regular cozero map from a cozero map are called slimming and regularization of the cozero map, respectively. also, we pro...

A test-tube baby [4] is the product of a successful human reproduction that results from methods beyond sexual intercourse [5] between a man and a woman and instead utilizes medical intervention that manipulates both the egg [6] and sperm [7] cells for successful fertilization [8]. The term was originally used to refer to the babies born from the earliest applications of artificial insemination...
