Objective(s) Several studies have reported improved response of exercised hearts to myocardial infarction (MI). This study was aimed to evaluate the preventive role of treadmill exercise and diosgenin on cardiac marker enzymes, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total antioxidant status (TAS), lipids, and electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardi...

An analytical framework is proposed to explore the structure and kinematics of iso-scalar fields. It based on a two-point statistical analysis phase indicator field which used track given volume. The displacement speed iso-surface, i.e. interface velocity relative fluid velocity, explicitly accounted for, thereby generalizing previous equations dedicated in two-phase flows. Although this applie...

Die ISO27001:2005 als Informationssicherheitsmanagementsystem (ISMS) etabliert sich zunehmend als der Sicherheitsstandard in Unternehmen. Die Grundidee des ISMS basiert auf einem Management der Informationssicherheit welches ausgerichtet ist auf dem Management der Unternehmensrisiken und einen direkten Bezug zum Firmenumsatz herstellt. Bis September 2009 wurden weltweit mehr als 5822 1 zertifiz...

Force–velocity profiling (F-v) evaluates muscle function through the identification of maximum force (F0), velocity (V0), power (Pmax) and optimal (Vopt). The purpose this study was to investigate validity feasibility loaded 5 Sit-to-Stand (5STS) force-velocity compared gold standard instruments (isokinetic Dynamometry, ISO) asses relationship between 5STS-derived indexes with clinical markers ...

Observations with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) SWS spectrometer are used to constrain the velocity law and wind clumping of the well-studied Wolf-Rayet (WR) star WR 136 (HD 192163) (WN6). Because the free-free continuum opacity in WR winds increases steadily with wavelength in the IR, each point in the continuous spectrum may be regarded as forming in a pseudo-photosphere of larger radi...

BACKGROUND During both cardiac maturation and myopathy, elevated levels of circulating catecholamines coincide with alterations in impulse propagation. An in vitro model of cultured cardiomyocytes was used to study the effects of adrenergic stimulation on the conduction characteristics of immature heart cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were cultured on preparations desig...

The discharge and stage measurements in a river system are characterized by a number of sources of uncertainty, which affects the accuracy of a rating curve established from measurements. This paper presents a fuzzy set theory based methodology for consideration of different sources of uncertainty in the stage and discharge measurements and their aggregation into a combined uncertainty. The unc...

The ultrasonic velocity (V), density (ρ) and viscosity (η) measurements of Hydroquinone in n-propanol and iso-propanol have been carried out for the study of solute-solvent interaction. Experimental data have been used to calculate the isentropic compressibility (bs), intermolecular free length (Lf), specific acoustic impedance (Z), molar sound velocity (R), relative association (RA) solvation ...

This article is the second of a series that discusses the deposition of airborne particles onto cleanroom surfaces. It investigates the relationship between the airborne concentration of a range of cumulative sizes of particles and the particle deposition rate (PDR) onto cleanroom surfaces, through knowledge of the deposition velocity of particles in air. The deposition velocity of a range of c...

An elliptic model for space-time correlations in turbulent shear flows is proposed based on a second order approximation to the iso-correlation contours, while Taylor's hypothesis implies a first-order approximation. It is shown that the space-time correlations are mainly determined by their space correlations and the convection and sweeping velocities. This model accommodates two extreme cases...
