This study aimed to compare the first-year growth of infants who had received different feeding regimens throughout the first 4 months. Anthropometric measurements of 332 infants attending a well child clinic were analysed. The infants were divided into four groups: exclusively breastfed (BF), predominantly BF, partially BF, and non-BE Exclusively BF infants were significantly heavier in the fi...

In this paper the notion of fuzzy BF -algebra and fuzzy topological BF -algebras are introduced. We stated and proved some theorem in fuzzy BF -algebras and level subalgebras. Finally the Foster’s results on homomorphic images and inverse images in fuzzy topological BF algebras are studied. Mathematics Subject Classification: 06F35, 03G25, 94D05

Focal electric stimulation of the auditory cortex, 30-minute repetitive acoustic stimulation and auditory fear conditioning each evoke shifts of the frequency-tuning curves (hereafter, best frequency [BF] shifts) of cortical and collicular neurons. The short-term collicular BF shift is produced by the corticofugal system and primarily depends on the relationship in BF between a recorded collicu...

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is clinically important because of its prevalence, chronicity, and therapy-refractoriness of the pain. In this study, we investigated the effect of infliximab in a mouse model of TMJ pain using a specially-engineered transducer for evaluating the changes in bite force (BF). The mice were randomly divided into three groups (7 mice per group): the control gr...

BACKGROUND Determinants of breastfeeding (BF) exclusivity at a rural Egyptian setting are largely unknown. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess BF indicators, specifically exclusivity and the timely complementary feeding while assessing potential determinants that affect exclusivity of BF among a sample of mothers inhabiting Egyptian rural communities. METHODS A community based cross-se...

There is a consensus regarding the universal significance of breakfast (BF) for health, wellbeing, and cognition. The success of free school BF programs (e.g., Hasz and Lamport, 2012), which reportedly improve academic performance, fortifies this belief. However, studies showing cognitive effects of BF vs. skipping BF in large mixed cohorts of children (e.g., Wesnes et al., 2012) are often lack...

This study examined the interrelationships among physical activity (PA), percent body fat (%BF), and motor performance (MP) in 498 6- to 8-year-old Danish children. PA was assessed by accelerometer, %BF was calculated from skinfolds, and the Koordinations Test für Kinder along with a throwing accuracy test was used to assess MP. PA was not correlated with %BF, but was significantly correlated w...

in this paper, some categorical properties of the category ${bf cpo}_{{bf act}text{-}s}$ of all {cpo $s$-acts}, cpo's equipped with actions of a monoid $s$ on them, and strict continuous action-preserving maps between them is considered. in particular, we describe products and coproducts in this category, and consider monomorphisms and epimorphisms. also, we show that the forgetful functor from...

In the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), conditioning with acoustic stimuli followed by electric leg-stimulation causes shifts in frequency-tuning curves and best frequencies (hereafter BF shifts) of collicular and cortical neurons, i.e., reorganization of the cochleotopic (frequency) maps in the inferior colliculus (IC) and auditory cortex (AC). The collicular BF shift recovers 180 min after t...
