the most important physiological role of apelin as a novel adipokine is co- relation with insulin hormone. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks combined training on plasma apelin and insulin resistance index in overweight females. therefore, 40 non athlete and over weight female students (bmi, 25-30), were selected and divided randomly in two experimental and control...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine the effectiveness of using of an otoscopy stimulator to teach medical students the primary principles of otoscopy in large group training sessions and improve their confidence in making otologic diagnoses. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional survey design. METHODS In March 2013, the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery held a large-scale otoscopy si...

Preseasons in tennis are normally reduced to 5 to 7 weeks duration, and coaches should use an integrated approach to conditioning and skill-based work. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of adding a high-intensity training (HIT) shock microcycle to the normal training content in several physical performance indicators in the preseason training of high-level male tennis ...

this experimental study was designed to show the effects of parent training program on iranian children with behavioral disorders. 27 students (7-11 years olf) with behavioral disorders were selected from amerian elementary shools's girls. these students were assessed by rutter's behavioral, asssessment test, completed by parents and teachers. then their mothers were randomly assigned...

Pods are mechanical devices constituted of two rigid bodies, the base and the platform, connected by a number of other rigid bodies, called legs, that are anchored via spherical joints. It is possible to prove that the maximal number of legs of a mobile pod, when finite, is 20. In 1904, Borel designed a technique to construct examples of such 20-pods, but could not constrain the legs to have ba...

The features of logic programming that seem unconventional from the viewpoint of classical logic can be explained in terms of constructivistic logic. We motivate and propose a constructivistic proof theory of non-Horn logic programming. Then, we apply this formalization for establishing results of practical interest. First, we show that 'stratification can be motivated in a simple and intuitive...

Genotype-environment interaction was studied in seven genotypes of chickpea under four different cultural environments. Significant variation for genotype (G), environment (E) and G × E interactions were found for the characters days to maturity, plant height, pods/plant, seeds/plant, 100-seed weight and seed yield/plant. On the basis of stability parameters the genotypes Barichola-2, Barichola...

This paper describes a virtual class, which is based on the principles of ITS (Intelligent Tutoring Systems). The virtual class allows to a group of learners to participate into training sessions of an adapted teleteaching system (adapted virtual class), this system takes into account progression rhythm different into a community of remote learners. The virtual class allows adapting the teachin...
