Virtualization technologies have recently gained a lot of interest in Grid computing as they allow exible resource management. Grid'5000 (G5K) is a French national Grid platform used for computer science research to experiment all layers of Grid software. Computer scientists reserve G5K nodes prior to their experiments. In G5K some low priority jobs are executed in best e ort mode on the node i...

The effects of mobile phone electromagnetic fields (EMFs) were studied on a non-spatial memory task (Object Recognition Task - ORT) that requires entorhinal cortex function. The task was applied to three groups of mice Mus musculus C57BL/6 (exposed, sham-exposed and control) combined with 3 different radiation exposure protocols. In the first protocol designated "acute exposure", mice 45 days o...

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Fransız kontrast metodu antrenmanlarının hentbolcuların çeviklik, ivmelenme ve sıçrama değerlerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya Hentbol ikinci liginde oynayan 24 sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Sporcular her mevkiden olacak şekilde grubu (FKMG, n:12, yaş ort.: 20,5±1,93 yıl, spor yaşı 6,75±1,76 boy ort.:175,16±4,93 cm, kilo 67,83±4,91 kg, bki. 21,95±0,64 kg/m2) pli...

Although recent studies suggest that hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA), the link between OA and hyperlipidemia is not fully understood. As the number of activated, circulating myeloid cells is increased during hyperlipidemia, we speculate that myeloid cells contribute to the pathology of OA. Here, we characterized myeloid cells in STR/Ort mice, a murine osteoarthritis mode...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Onset-to-reperfusion time (ORT) has recently emerged as an essential prognostic factor in acute ischemic stroke therapy. Although favorable outcome is associated with reduced ORT, it remains unclear whether intracranial bleeding depends on ORT. We therefore sought to determine whether ORT influenced the risk and volume of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after combined intr...

AIM Preoperative fluid and electrolyte management is usually performed by intravenous therapy. We investigated the safety and effectiveness of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for preoperative fluid and electrolyte management of surgical patients. METHODS The study consisted of two studies, designed as a prospective observational study. In a pilot study, 20 surgical patients consumed 1000 mL of...

BACKGROUND Diarrhoeal diseases cause significant childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. The effectiveness of home management of diarrhoeal diseases is achievable only if caregivers have appropriate information despite varying recommendations on the strategies for diarrhoea therapy. OBJECTIVES To evaluate caregivers' perception and use of ORT fluids for management of diarrhoea in under-f...

Sugar-based oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for diarrhoea is promoted in many countries of the world. One programme in Bangladesh has instructed more than 13 million mothers in the preparation of a sugar-salt solution in the home; despite very high rates of correct mixing and knowledge, subsequent application was found in only some 20% of all diarrhoea episodes. Since rice is far more available ...

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2008 to July 2010 in commercial broiler flocks in southern (n = 50) and northern (n = 50) areas of Jordan, to determine the flock-level prevalence of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) infections. Tracheal swabs were collected from commercial broilers with respiratory disease and tested by polymerase chain react...
