Background: Beetroot juice (BJ) is rich in inorganic nitrates and has proved effective at increasing blood nitric oxide (NO) levels. When used as a supplement BJ has shown an ergogenic effect on cardiorespiratory resistance exercise modalities, yet few studies have examined its impact on high intensity efforts. Objective: To assess the effects of BJ intake on anaerobic performance in a Wingate ...

Let N denote the set of positive integers. Every sequence B = (b0, b1, . . .) of numbers in N satisfying (1) 1 = b0 < b1 < . . . is a basis for N, as each n in N has a B-representation (2) n = c0b0 + c1b1 + . . .+ ckbk, where bk ≤ n < bk+1 and the coefficients ci are given by the division algorithm: (3) n = ckbk + rk, ck = [n/bk], 0 ≤ rk < bk and (4) ri = ci−1bi−1 + ri−1, ci−1 = [ri/bi−1], 0 ≤ ...

The objective of the study was to evaluate for antidepressant like activity of a methanolic extract of B. juncea leaves (BJ 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/day, po), and Imipramine (15 mg/kg/day, po) in alloxan monohydrate (120 mg/kg, ip) induced diabetic and nondiabetic rodents, using behavioural despair, learned helplessness, and tail suspension tests for antidepressants and locomotor activity test f...

(1) Background: Body Jump® is a novel group fitness program with musical support, which performed rebounding in minitrampoline. Although the number of practitioners has increased exponentially recent years, this activity’s short-term effects on physical and body composition women have not yet been studied. (2) Methods: 27 healthy young were randomly divided into (BJ) control (CG). BJ three clas...

The amino acids encoded at the junctions of T cell receptor (TCR) V and J genes directly interact with MHC bound peptides. However, the regulation of the human TCRBJ gene repertoire has been difficult to analyze, because of the potentially complex number of BJ gene rearrangements. To overcome this problem, we developed a PCR-ELISA method to study BJ gene expression, and compared peripheral T ly...

In this study, we use the Bjerknes stability (BJ) index as a tool to investigate overall El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) stability in a hybrid-coupled model (HCM) with various atmosphere and ocean background states. This HCM shows that ENSO growth rates as measured by the BJ index and linear growth rates estimated directly with a time series of the Niño 3.4 indices from the coupled model si...

For independent events A and B, the probability P (A & B) is equal to the product of the corresponding probabilities: P (A&B) = P (A) · P (B). It is well known that the product f(a, b) = a ·b has the following property: once n ∑ i=1 P (Ai) = 1 and m ∑ j=1 P (Bj) = 1, the probabilities P (Ai & Bj) = f(P (Ai), P (Bj)) also add to 1: n ∑

Fecal material from pigs experimentally infected with Treponema hyodysenteriae was collected and inoculated on six different selective media to compare their abilities for recovery of T. hyodysenteriae. Additionally, various types of samples were compared to find the most appropriate for submitting material to laboratories. Isolation rates for T. hyodysenteriae were 89.7% on BJ medium, 88.3% on...

Bergamot juice (BJ) contains different classes of flavonoids (e.g. flavanones and flavones) that can exert beneficial effects on human health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative composition of a BJ obtained from fruits harvested in Southern Italy (Calabria) at the end of their maturation period. The identity of several flavonoids and furanocoumarins was asses...
