Background: Strenuous acute exercise induces oxidative stress in the active muscles and circulation, However, consumption of products rich in antioxidants may potentially ameliorate these effects. Objective: The present investigation was conducted to determine the effect of Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) extract on oxidative stress and antioxidant defense after aerobic exercise in young athle...

the present study was designed in quasi-experiment to assess adoption of the essential clauses of particular clinical laboratory quality management requirements based on international organization for standardization (iso 15189) in hospital laboratories and to evaluate the cost effectiveness of compliance to iso 15189.the quality management intervention based on iso 15189 was conceded through t...

In annotating measure expressions such as three days and about 123 km, two recently published ISO standards, ISO-TimeML (ISO, 2012b) and ISOspace (ISO, 2014a), show some inconsistencies, as pointed out in ISO SemAF Principles (ISO, 2014c), a third ISO standards on semantic annotation to be published soon. Other than terminological or semantic inconsistencies introduced in ISO SemAF Principles, ...

background: the consumption of healthy food is considered as an essential need to devoid the physical, chemical, and biological hazards. the importance of this issue is more conspicuous in places such as hospitals where people with somehow compromised immune systems are under treatment. therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of food contact surfaces in a kitchen ...

The Long-Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) is one of two complementary spectrometers aboard the European Space Agency’s Infrared Space Observatory1 (ISO) (Kessler et al., 1996). It operates over the wavelength range 43 196:9 m at either medium (about 150 to 200) or high (6800 to 9700) spectral resolving power. This Letter describes the instrument and its modes of operation; a companion paper (Swiny...

VDM-SL, the notation incorporated in the formal method VDM, is currently being standardized under auspices of the International Standards Institution (ISO) and the British Standards Institution (BSI). It is one of the few formal languages of which the syntax and the semantics have been completely formally defined. In this paper we present an overview of the standard, including a report on the c...
