Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of detraining after 12 weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on the expression of AKT1 and mTORc1 genes in the left ventricle of wistar diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight wistar male rats were selected as the study sample and were divided in four groups of healthy control, diabetic control, dia...

The purpose of this investigation was to compare 4 different methods of calculating volume when comparing resistance exercise protocols of varying intensities. Ten Appalachian State University students experienced in resistance exercise completed 3 different resistance exercise protocols on different days using a randomized, crossover design, with 1 week of rest between each protocol. The proto...

A composition π = π1π2 · · ·πm of a positive integer n is an ordered collection of one or more positive integers whose sum is n. The number of summands, namely m, is called the number of parts of π. Using linear algebra, we determine formulas for generating functions that count compositions of n with m parts, according to the number of occurrences of the subword pattern τ , and according to the...

In speech audiometric testing, hearing performance is typically measured by calculating the number of correct repetitions of a speech stimulus. We investigate to what extent the repetition accuracy of Dutch speech stimuli presented against a background noise is influenced by nonauditory processes. We show that variation in verbal repetition accuracy is partially explained by morpholexical and s...

Introduction: One of the leading causes of death among people is brain tumors. Accurate tumor classification leads to appropriate decision-making and providing the most efficient treatment to the patients. This study aims to optimize of the brain tumor MR images classification accuracy using the optimal threshold, PCA and training Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) w...

damping-off disease of cucumber caused by soil-born fungi pythium aphanidermatum is one of the most destructive diseases of cucumber. in this research, the effect of three bio-fertilizers including; nitroxin, mycorrhiza and vermicompost in single and combined form on induced resistance and yield components in greenhouse cucumber (es-2862) infected with damping-off disease was investigated. thes...

background: artificial stimulation of mouse oocyte, in the absence of sperm contribution, can induce its parthenogenic activation of oocyte. ultrasound is one of the newest methods for artificial activation of mammal oocytes, and its successful utilization in pig oocyte activation has been recently reported. our objective was to assess the effect of ultrasound on mouse oocyte activation. materi...
