BACKGROUND Although the effect of immediate weight restoration on body composition and body fat distribution has previously been studied in anorexia nervosa (AN), its influence in women with AN on eating disorder psychopathology and psychological distress has not previously been investigated to our knowledge. OBJECTIVES We assessed body composition and fat mass distribution before and after b...

This is the first study concerning the features of the reproduction process of the karyologically identified spined loach C. taenia (2n=48). The histology of 71 ovaries, and gonadosomatic index (GSI) of karyologically identified spined loach Cobitis taenia L. from Lake Klawój (Northern Poland) were examined. The absolute and relative fecundity of 25 females was estimated by gravimetric method. ...

This research work presents a case study of rock mass characterization on diversion tunnels at Diamer Basha Dam, Pakistan. Geological and geotechnical studies were performed to characterize the rock mass along the axis of diversion tunnel. The core specimens retrieved were tested in laboratory and physical and mechanical properties of the rock mass were determined. Detailed discontinuity survey...

Renal injury is greater in male compared with female rats after renal wrap (RW) hypertension. We investigated the role of gonadal steroids in the sex differences in RW disease severity in male (M) and female (F), castrated (Cast), and ovariectomized (OVX) rats and after dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and 17beta-estradiol (E2) treatment. Male castration attenuated the severity of RW-induced glomerulo...

The generalized Hoek-Brown (GHB) failure criterion can estimate the rock mass parameters required for mechanics–related analyses such as numerical modeling in geomechanics. determination of GHB has been developed field mechanics. Due to wide use Mohr-Coulomb and lack an existing relationship determining its a mass, equivalent (EMC) be derived from GHB. To determine differences these two criteri...

This paper presents the investigation of surface geology and subsurface engineering to analyze excavation method stand-up time DK99-DK100 Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway Tunnel, Indonesia. Rock mass quality, tunnel method, determined using Geological Strength Index (GSI), Basic Quality (BQ) systems, converted Mass Rating (RMR) The Japan Society Civil Engineering (JSCE) for comparison. result...

Spatio-temporal patterns of the gonadosomatic index (GSI) and life cycle stages sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus were studied at two Corsican near sites which differ in terms protection status. The results highlighted an annual GSI with spring spawning (between May June) presumed lesser autumn (October or November). Spatial revealed homogeneity larval densities between whereas differences obser...

This study aimed to estimate the production of seeds per umbel and assess both effect gibberellic acid (GA3) order on seed germination in Amazon chicory species. The experiment was conducted two steps. Firstly, traits related were evaluated. Afterward, a test carried out, following parameters assessed: speed index (GSI), average time (AGT), percentage (%G), abnormal seedlings (%AS), non-germina...

Empirical design of support system at the Tunnel 6 Jakarta – Bandung high-speed railway was based on Basic Quality (BQ) system, which had not been adopted in Indonesia. This research carried out to better understand rock mass quality tunnel construction site by comparing determined BQ that two more popular classifications, namely Geological Strength Index (GSI) and Rock Mass Rating (RMR). Surfa...
