In this paper, after recalling the category {\bf PosAct}-$S$ of all poset acts over a pomonoid $S$; an $S$-act in Pos} posets, with action preserving monotone maps between them, some categorical properties are considered. particular, we describe limits and colimits such as products, coproducts, equalizers, coequalizers etc. category. Also, several kinds epimorphisms monomorphisms characterized ...

To establish whether acetaminophen improves performance of self-paced exercise through the reduction of perceived pain, 13 trained male cyclists performed a self-paced 10-mile (16.1 km) cycle time trial (TT) following the ingestion of either acetaminophen (ACT) or a placebo (PLA), administered in randomized double-blind design. TT were completed in a significantly faster time (t(12) = 2.55, P <...

This study sought to test the hypothesis that orthostasis-induced cerebral hypoperfusion would be less severe in physically active elderly humans (ACT group) than in sedentary elderly humans (SED group). The peak O(2) uptake of 10 SED (67.1 +/- 1.4 yr) and 9 ACT (68.0 +/- 1.1 yr) volunteers was determined by a graded cycling exercise test (22.1 +/- 1.2 vs 35.8 +/- 1.3 ml.min(-1).kg(-1), P < 0.0...

A sulfated gfycoconjugate, named as S-ACT-1, extracted from a red marine algae (Gzlidiella acerosa) found in the Southern coast of Sri Lanka, has been reported for improving-motility of ejaculated human spermatozoa. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of S-ACT-1 on goat sperm capacitation and to establish complete _ vitro maturation (IVM), fertilization (IVF) and culture (IVC) proced...
