Often cognitive function is affected adversely during prolonged, high intensity exercise. We assessed whether hydrothermally modified corn starch (HMS) ingestion minimizes decline with soccer play. 11 men (177.7 ± 6.8 cm, 77.3 7.9 kg, 22 3 y, 12.8 4.9% body fat, [Formula: see text]O 2 max = 57.1 3.9 ml•kg BM −1 •min ; mean SD) completed 60 min simulated matches HMS (8% CHO; 0.7 g•kg •h 2.8 kcal...

The purpose of the study was to investigate the mineralogical and Heavy Metals (HMs) present in the granite mining soils in Chimakurthy, India. The mineral exploration of mining soils were identified by X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) pattern analysis. However, the morphological features and quantitative HMs were detected by Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersed Spectroscopy (SEM/...

Coal mining and related industry can increase heavy metals (HMs) concentrations in soil, atmosphere and wheat, thereby posing metal-associated human health risk via food ingestion.  In this study, 58 samples of soil, wheat, and dust were collected from Xuzhou coal mine eastern China, six kinds of HMs Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, As and Cr were studied for their spatial distribution in wheat, enrichment in d...

Statistical analysis and geochemical approaches were exploited for the heavy metals (HMS) assessment in sediments from Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Single source (crustal) was identified using principal component (PCA). Furthermore, enrichment factor (EF) denoted contaminated sites by HMS study area while EF value reveal minor or no anthropogenic most sites. The activities that suggested to be...

Nowadays people are becoming poisoned through the consumption of herbal remedies that comprise heavy metals (HMs) worldwide. It is possible for HMs to be present in pharmaceutical herb materials coming from anthropogenic activities like agriculture, industrial waste, and natural sources. In various ethnic groups, there evidence contaminants were purposefully added belief they had some sort ther...

This paper presents a model of fault-tolerant Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS), where each holon is a knowledge-based agent capable of solving distributed problems by applying production/assembly and information management services. Our multi-agent architecture provides robustness and distribution transparency within a shop-floor environment where unpredictable failures occur with machines, ...

BACKGROUND Distinction of hydatidiform moles (HMs) from non-molar abortions and sub-classification of HMs are important for clinical practice; yet, diagnosis based solely on morphology is affected by interobserver variability. The objective of this study was to determine the role of DNA flow cytometry in distinguishing molar from non-molar pregnancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective...

Previous studies have demonstrated multiple components of whole-cell calcium currents in hypoglossal motoneurons (HMs); HMs possess a low-voltage-activated (LVA) current and three types of high-voltage-activated (HVA) calcium currents based on sensitivity to omega-Aga IVA, omega-Conotoxin GVIA (omega-CgTx) and dihydropyridine analogs (DHPs). In the present study, we recorded single-calcium chan...
