purpose the aim of this study was to determine the effect of one night's sleep deprivation on anaerobic performance and reaction time of subjects in the morning of the following day. methods eighteen male college student athletes were studied twice in a balanced, randomized design. subjects were measured for peak power, mean power and reaction time. results the performance showed no significant...

background :aging can cause loss of balance, which may lead to physical and psychological problems. as the role of the otolith organs in maintaining postural stability has been emphasized in recent years, the present study investigated the effect of aging on saccular function using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cvemp).   methods : the participants were assigned into two groups...

objective(s):neurotoxicity of anticancer drugs complicates treatment of cancer patients. vinblastine (vbl) is reported to induce motor and cognitive impairments in patients receiving chronic low-dose regimen. materials and methods: the effects of vbl treatment on motor, learning and memory functions of male and female wistar rats were studied by behavioral related tests. animals were given chro...

the infomax algorithm is a popular method in blind source separation problem. in this article an extension of the infomax algorithm is proposed that is able to separate mixed signals with any sub- or super-gaussian distributions. this ability is the results of using two different nonlinear functions and new coefficients in the learning rule. in this paper we show how we can use the distribution...

introduction: the majority of leukemia patients are acute leukemia patients, so that about 70.8% lymphoblastic leukemia were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) patients and 66.4 % of myeloid leukemia patients were acute myeloid leukemia (aml) in tehran metropolitan. during the last two decades, intensification of therapy by the use of high-dose cytarabine allogeneic stem cell transplantation in...

here, the concept of quantum potential that has been illustrated in extended phase space (eps) in previous works is explored for its marginal behavior. unlike in configuration space, different representations of the quantum mechanics can be found in eps when exploiting appropriate canonical transformations. these canonical transformations revealed that there exist several representations in whi...

we find an explicit expression of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. we also find a formula of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. finally, we give an alternative expression of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.

objective: the present study has been carried out to develop social cognition interventional program (scip) based on theory of mind (tom), and to investigate its effects on high-functional autistic (hfa) children's social function. methods: present study was completely experimental and its participants were randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group (among 14 hfa, 7 in experim...

this study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated straddle carrier (sc), rubber tyred gantry (rtg) and automated rail mounted gantry (rmg) container yard operating cranes. it develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...
