the present study aimed at determining the relationship between learning styles and the effect of random and blocked practices on learning of badminton serve skills.  in this quasi-experimental study, 48 female high school students were randomly placed in four groups: 1. convergent learning style with random practice, 2. convergent learning style with blocked practice, 3. divergent learning sty...

Motivation: Recognizing that many intrinsically disordered regions in proteins play key roles in vital functions and also in some diseases, identification of the disordered regions has became a demanding process for structure prediction and functional characterization of proteins. Therefore, many studies have been motivated on accurate prediction of disorder. Mostly, machine learning techniques...

abstract background and objective: alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a weakening neurodegenerative disorder typified by increased b-amyloid (ab) deposition and neuronal dysfunction causing to impaired learning and memory. among proposed risk factors, induced oxidative stress is a main cause for incidence of the disease. the aim of this study was to determine the effects of the rosmarinic acid on lear...

objective: this study was designed to examine the effect of environmental enrichment during methamphetamine (meth) dependency and withdrawal on methamphetamine-induced spatial learning and memory deficits and obsessive-compulsive behavior. method: adult male wistar rats (200 ± 10 g) chronically received bi-daily doses of meth (2 mg/kg, sc, with 12 hours intervals) for 14 days. rats reared in st...

Many studies have shown benefits associated with engaging students in problem-solving activities prior to administering lessons. These problem-solving activities are assumed to activate relevant knowledge and allow students to develop some initial knowledge structures, which support understanding of the lesson. In this paper we report the results of two studies in which we investigated the unde...
