Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) technologies are required to meet current and future food production demand as the global population rises, arable land decreases, minerals for fertilizer depleted. Hydroponics recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) intensive methods that can provide season-independent vegetables seafood in urban settings but limited by a reliance on fertilizing solutio...

objective: to compare the effects of aerobic and stretching exercises on severity of primary dysmenorrhea. materials and methods: this randomized clinical trial was conducted on 105 female students who were suffering from primary dysmenorrhea. the participants were divided into aerobic exercise, stretching exercise, and control groups. the two intervention groups did the exercises three times a...

background there is a strong relationship between physical inactivity and low-grade inflammation and its adverse health outcomes, particularly cardiovascular disease. the level of anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines may be changed by exercise. objectives the aim of the present study was to determine the response of certain inflammatory biomarkers to exercise with differences in max...

background: type 2 diabetes is a global health problem and a major cause of illness. exercise, diet and medication are the three pillars in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. objective: the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training combined with green tea hydroalcoholic extract consumption on blood glucose and lipid profile on diabetic rats. methods: diabetes was...

The commercial availability of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies facilitated the assessment of functional groups of microorganisms in the environment with high coverage, resolution, and reproducibility. Soil methylotrophs were among the first microorganisms in the environment that were assessed with molecular tools, and nowadays, as well with NGS technologies. Studies in the past ye...

Temperature-induced limitations on the capacity of the cardiorespiratory system to transport oxygen from the environment to the tissues, manifested as a reduced aerobic scope (maximum minus standard metabolic rate), have been proposed as the principal determinant of the upper thermal limits of fishes and other water-breathing ectotherms. Consequently, the upper thermal niche boundaries of these...

As the result of a comparative study, it was found that a radiometric method utilizing an aerobic and an anaerobic vial was much more efficient than a tubed broth method in detecting bacteremia. The radiometric method detected 97 ( 92.4 percent) of 105 isolants as compared to 58 ( 55.2 percent) for the tubed broth method. Forty-seven (44.8 percent) of the isolants were detected only by the form...
