background: despite the great number of cosmetic rhinoplasties, there are few studies on the improvement of self-concept and patient satisfaction with nose fitness. objectives: this study attempted to examine the variability of self-concept and patient satisfaction with nose fitness before and after cosmetic rhinoplasty through three to six months of follow-up. materials and methods: under a pr...

laboratory studies were conducted to compare the relative fitness of clodinafop-propargyl herbicide resistant lolium rigidum accessions with their clodinafop-propargyl susceptible counterparts in 2014. factors evaluated were lolium populations at constant salinity stress (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 ds cm2) and water stress (0, -3, -6, -9, -12 and -15 bar). the maximum germination in salinity stres...

iran’s culture is changing, and by these changes preference of fit body usually thin body is growing up among women. paying too much attention to fitness is the result of a consumer society, and to reach fitness and to have acceptable body size, women try different ways such as body building, aerobic, etc. so the current study aims to explore the social factors related with women’s tendency tow...

abdominal wall hernia is common but reliable scientific data about its work relatedness is very limited and inconsistent. in this paper, a less common type of abdominal wall hernia in a 30 year old male worker is presented with recurrence after first surgery when he returned to work. in contrast with almost all kinds of hernia, a lifelong limitation for heavy lifting was recommended. it seems t...

This study longitudinally evaluated whether maturation and relative age interact with time during adolescence to differentially affect the development of anthropometric and fitness characteristics in junior rugby league players. Anthropometric and fitness characteristics of 81 junior players selected into the UK Rugby Football League's talent identification and development process were assessed...

Ecological traps, which occur when animals mistakenly prefer habitats where their fitness is lower than in other available habitats following rapid environmental change, have important conservation and management implications. Empirical research has focused largely on assessing the behavioural effects of traps, by studying a small number of geographically close habitat patches. Traps, however, ...
