BACKGROUND School environment and policy changes have increased healthy eating and physical activity; however, there has been modest success in translating research findings to practice. The School Environment Project tested whether an adapted version of Intervention Mapping (AIM) resulted in school change. METHODS Using a pair randomized design, 10 rural elementary schools were assigned to A...

Having knowledge about genetic relationships among accessions is necessary for developing breeding strategies to produce improved cultivars. In present study, genetic diversity and inter-relationship among 29 genotypes of citrus were comparatively analyzed using morphological and RAPD markers. Significant variability was observed among citrus genotypes for 61 quantitative and qualitative morpho...

Several studies on the white sardine: Sardinella albella, have focused on the identification of stock composition and behavior. In this study population genetic structure and historical demography of S. albella along the cost of the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman were investigated with a 500-bp segment of mt-DNA control region. In total 40 samples were collected from 3 locations: Jask in Sea of O...

We calculate the two-, three-, four-, and five-body (state-independent) effective potentials between the centers of mass (c.m.'s) of self-avoiding walk polymers by Monte Carlo simulations. For full overlap, these coarse-grained n-body interactions oscillate in sign as (-1)(n), and decrease in absolute magnitude with increasing n. We find semiquantitative agreement with a scaling theory, and use...

In two-dimensional random waves, phase singularities are point-like dislocations with a behavior reminiscent of interacting particles. This -- qualitative consideration, stems from the spatial arrangement these entities, which finds its hallmark in pair correlation liquid-like system. Starting their function, we derive an effective pair-interaction for waves by using reverse Monte Carlo method....

Abstract Electron-positron pair production in asymmetric Sauter potential well is studied, where the has been built as width of right edge fixed but left side changeable at different values. We study momentum spectrum, location distribution and total numbers this case compare them with symmetric case. The relationship between created electron energy, level energy bound states photon used to stu...
