Purpose: to develop a new method of lavage the abdominal cavity in experimental conditions.Materials and methods. In experiment we use 40 rats Wistar line weighing 160-240 g, kept vivarium compliance with all standards.Research results their discussion. During relaparotomy, performed mechanical cleaning from fecal masses, layers fibrin, was washed twice 100 ml 0.02% decamethoxine solution at te...

High rates of erosion (1-15 mm/yr) of fluvial strata have persisted over intervals of 0.2-1.5 m.y. and across areas of 60-2000 km 2 in the Cenozoic foreland basin of northern Pakistan. These rates occur in areas associated with thrust shortening, and they indicate that erosion nearly kept pace with the rates of latest Miocene to Pleistocene uplift. Such high rates of erosion are predicted to pr...

Perforated discs have many applications in different parts of industry. By making such disks of functionally graded materials, more capabilities can be obtained from them. Vibration analysis of these kinds of disks can help us make them more efficient. In this paper, modeling and evaluation of disk vibration of functionally graded materials with regard to thickness were carried out using Abaqus...

Many people self-weigh and many interventions addressing weight-related problems such as obesity promote self-weighing. However, while self-weighing has been associated with weight loss, there is mixed evidence regarding the psychological impact of this behaviour. The present review aimed to quantify the relationship between self-weighing and: (i) affect (e.g., anxiety, depression); (ii) psycho...

BACKGROUND Frequent self-weighing is associated with better weight loss and maintenance among adults. Emerging adults ages 18-25 rarely enroll in behavioural weight loss trials, and thus, little is known about their willingness to engage in frequent self-weighing and its association with weight loss in this age group. PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to examine the frequency of self-weigh...

Decision theory distinguishes between risky prospects, where the probabilities associated with the possible outcomes are assumed to be known, and uncertain prospects, where these probabilities are not assumed to be known. Studies of choice between risky prospects have suggested a nonlinear transformation of the probability scale that overweights low probabilities and underweights moderate and h...
