Cholinergic denervation has been associated with falls and slower gait speed and β-amyloid deposition with greater severity of axial motor impairments in Parkinson disease (PD). However, little is known about the association between the presence of extra-nigral pathological conditions and freezing of gait (FoG). Patients with PD (n = 143; age, 65.5 ± 7.4 years, Hoehn and Yahr stage, 2.4 ± 0.6; ...

In Solomon Islands, women's groups play an important role in promoting socially inclusive development and empowerment. this paper, we summarise the experiences of a 5-year participatory action research partnership to enhance rural livelihood activities based on aquatic foods. The savings that participated identified solar-powered freezers as innovation suitable their skills environment. 12 used...

Freezers and dry ice are used for cold chains. Besides them, phase change materials (PCMs) also involved. A PCM is a substance absorbing releasing energy at transition. The therefore useful heating cooling applications. Here we review some facts about the use of freezer, dry-ice PCMs equipment in Ultra Low Temperature Logistics.

Abstract Study question What are the factors that influence elective egg freezers’ (EEF) disposition decisions towards their surplus frozen oocytes? Summary answer Achieving motherhood or dealing with grief if was not achieved, complexities of donating to others, and a lack information professional advice. is known already Most women who undergo EEF do use oocytes. Consequently, there an abunda...

The Gongbei Tunnel Project is a key phased project of the Zhuhai Connection Line Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge, and freeze-sealing pipe-roof (SFPR) method was first applied successfully. During this period, in order to obtain best arrangement freezers, three configurations, that is, solid pipe with circular freezer (SCF), empty double (EDCF), special-shaped (ESF), were designed analyze their fr...

Thermal energy storage through phase change material has been used for wide applications in the field of air conditioning and refrigeration. The specific use this thermal during low demand release peak loads with potential to provide savings due this. principle latent heat using materials (PCMs) can be incorporated into a system suitable deep freezers. evaporator is covered another box which ca...

OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at analysing the association between socioeconomic indicators and adolescents' physical activity and health-related fitness. METHODS The study involved 716 adolescents from both genders whose age ranged from 10 to 18 years-old (46.8% male) who answered a questionnaire for estimating their habitual physical activity, socioeconomic status; two health-related physi...

Nine ejaculates were extended, placed in .5ml French straws and frozen vertically in two automatic forced vapor freezers (Linde BF-4 and FC-3) at three loads (2,500, 5,000 and full capacity of 7,500 straws in 5-straw goblets on canes). For each load, six locations within each freezing chamber were compared: upper and lower levels of the center, intermediate and corner areas. Semen was extended ...

The factors affecting the inter-individual differences in sperm freezability is a major line of research in spermatology. Poor sperm freezability is mainly characterised by a low sperm velocity, which in turn is associated with low fertility rates in most animal species. Studies concerning the implications of sperm morphometry on freezability are quite limited, and most of them are based on spe...
