Exogenous growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) has been shown to activate feeding by central mechanisms involving the suprachiasmatic nucleus/medial preoptic area (SCN/MPOA). Until now, however, the role played by endogenous GRF in the SCN/MPOA in naturally occurring eating has remained unknown. To investigate this, the effects of SCN/MPOA injections of GRF antiserum (AS-GRF) on feeding in rat...

in this paper, we introduce the concept of rarely generalized regular fuzzy continuous functions in the sense of a.p. sostak's and ramadan is introduced. some interesting properties and characterizations of them are investigated. also, some applications to fuzzy compact spaces are established.

Let $n\in \mathbb{N}, n\geq 2.$ An element $x=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)\in E^n$ is called a {\em norming point} of $T\in {\mathcal L}(^n E)$ if $\|x_1\|=\cdots=\|x_n\|=1$ and$|T(x)|=\|T\|,$ where ${\mathcal denotes the space all continuous $n$-linear forms on $E.$For we define set} $T$

The Gibbs random field (GRF) has proved to be a simple and practical way of parameterizing the Markov random field, which has been widely used to model an image or image-related process in many image processing applications. In particular, the GRF can be employed to construct an efficient Bayesian estimation that often yields optimal results. We describe how the GRF can be efficiently incorpora...

Push-ups are a common and practical exercise that is used to enhance fitness, including upper body strength or endurance. The kinetic characteristics of push-ups and its variations are yet to be quantified. Kinetic quantification is necessary to accurately evaluate the training load, and thus the nature of the training stimulus, for these exercise variations. This study assessed the peak vertic...

Quantifying muscle and joint forces over a broad range of weight bearing loads during exercise may provide data required to improve prosthetic materials and better protect against muscle and bone loss. Collectively, leg intramuscular pressure (IMP), ground reaction force (GRF), and the instrumented tibial tray force measurements provide a comprehensive assessment of leg muscle and joint biomech...

In this paper, the notion of generalized regular fuzzy irresolute, generalized regular fuzzy irresolute open  and generalized regular fuzzy irresolute closed maps in fuzzy  topological spaces are introduced and studied. Moreover, some separation axioms and $r$-GRF-separated sets are established. Also, the relations between generalized regular fuzzy continuous maps and generalized regular fuzzy ...

peptide that specifically stimulates both synthesis and secretion of pituitary GH [1]. GRF is released into the hypophyseal-portal vessels under control by a variety of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. After reaching the pituitary, GRF binds to its specific receptors [1] on somatotrophs and generates bursts of GH secretion episodically [2]. Earlier ligand-binding and functional studies in r...

Background. Although the trot is described as a diagonal gait, contacts of the diagonal pairs of hooves are not usually perfectly synchronized. Although subtle, the timing dissociation between contacts of each diagonal pair could have consequences on gait dynamics and provide insight into the functional strategies employed. This study explores the mechanical effects of different diagonal dissoc...

Ground reaction force (GRF) data from men and women are commonly pooled for analyses. However, it may not be justifiable to pool sexes on the basis of discrete parameters extracted from continuous GRF gait waveforms because this can miss continuous effects. Forty healthy participants (20 men and 20 women) walked at a cadence of 100 steps per minute across two force plates, recording GRFs. Two s...
