Methods Measurement in 24 adults comprised 8 minutes pre-baseline, 5 minutes recitation, 5 minutes recovery, 5 minutes recitation, and 20 minutes post-baseline. Measurements were performed for 3 different AST tasks [recitation of alliterative (RA), hexameter (RH), and prose (RP) verses] and a control task [mental arithmetic (MA) with voicing of the result] in a randomized crossover design. HRV ...

Charles D. Kochakian has had a long and distinguished career in the field of endocrine physiology. His most important work concerned the anabolic actions of steroids. While still a graduate student, Kochakian showed that the anabolic effects of male hormones could be quantitated by measuring the changes they caused in urinary nitrogen balance. He subsequently showed that this anabolic effect wa...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C15H18N4, adopts a trans conformation with respect to the diazo N=N bond. The dihedral angle between the benzene and pyridine rings in the mol-ecule is 8.03 (5)°. In the crystal, a weak C-H⋯π inter-action arranges the mol-ecules into a corrugated ribbon, with an anti-parallel orientation of neighboring mol-ecules propagating in the [100] direction.

Suffix trees are compact and versatile data structures in which paths from the root to nodes represent substrings of the encoded text. By annotating such a tree with the frequencies of substrings, it is possible to construct a compact model of text that captures its sequential nature. This thesis investigates the use of such a model in the representation and classification of text. The basic ap...

PURPOSE This study was to observe the clinical effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with supragingival and subgingival scaling therapy on periodontitis. METHODS The patients with periodontitis were divided randomly into 3 groups, the supragingival and subgingival scaling therapy group, the hyperbaric oxygen therapy group, the hyperbaric oxygen combined with supragingival and subgingi...

One of the paramount problems manifest in modern cosmological theories is that of the initial singularity. Gasperini and Veneziano have proposed the pre-big-bang (PBB) model [2] based on the assumption that the Universe evolved out of a ten-dimensional Minkowski spacetime which is an exact vacuum of string theory, in hopes of resolving the singularity problem. Recently, Brandenberger, Easther a...
