We measured the energy expenditure weekly in patients undergoing a pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy for bile duct cancer or pancreatic tumors. Twelve patients (5 women and 7 men; mean age 70.1 years) were enrolled in this study, and their resting energy expenditure levels were determined by indirect calorimetry. In these patients, a significant correlation was observed between the measu...

in recent years, studying the dietary preferences and livestock grazing behaviorhas attracted lots of attention due to manage and improve the efficiency of rangelands. so,in this study the foraging behavior and diet selection of tali goat was investigated in thechabahar rangeland during 2008-2010. data were collected and analyzed for speeds oflivestock, covered distance, time of grazing, restin...

Mammals' resting sites (dens) are important features of their ecology. Eurasian otter Lutra lutra strictly protected by UK and European legislation ostensibly identified from associated field-signs. This is difficult to apply given the poor understanding coupled with lack evidence supporting a field-sign signature. We aimed use camera-trap data identify sites, investigate whether field-signs di...

At a wetland study site in Tuskegee National Forest, AL, resting female mosquitoes were collected from natural and artificial resting sites to identify species-specific resting sites and to evaluate various artificial resting sites for their utility in collecting resting mosquitoes. Natural resting sites included small tree cavities, large tree cavities, and understory vegetation. Artificial re...

Background: The present study was conducted to quantify the relationships between bone drilling process parameters(i.e., feed rate, resting time, exit rate, and drill bit diameter) and drilling outcome parameters (i.e., thrust force andmaximum temperature).Methods: This study utilized 10-cm cortical bovine samples to evaluate the effects of four independent parameters,in...
