Postactivation potentiation (PAP) has been hypothesized previously to occur during voluntary, concentric actions. We tested the hypothesis that one of at least three different intensities of conditioning exercises would evoke potentiation of power during the concentric, bench press throw (BPT). Twelve men (age = 22.9 ± 2.7 years, bench press 1 repetition maximum (1RM) = 1.20 ± 0.12 kg·kg-1 body...

We tested the effectiveness of the preventive behavioral parent training (BPT) program, The Incredible Years (IY), and the independent effects of previously suggested sociodemographic and intervention-based moderator variables (i.e., initial severity of externalizing problem behavior, child gender, social economic status, family composition, and number of sessions parents attended), in a large-...

Cocrystallization of 4-amino-3,5-bis-(2-pyrid-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (2-bpt) with hemimellitic acid (benzene-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid) dihydrate (H(3)HMA·2H(2)O) produces the supra-molecular title compound, C(12)H(10)N(6)·C(9)H(6)O(6)·2H(2)O. Inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are observed between the terminal pyridyl and amino groups of the 2-bpt molecule and the dihedral angles between the cent...

We investigated the prevalence and persistence of Escherichia coli strains in four sewage treatment plants (STPs) in a subtropical region of Queensland, Australia. In all, 264 E. coli strains were typed using a high-resolution biochemical fingerprinting method and grouped into either a single or a common biochemical phenotype (S-BPT and C-BPT, respectively). These strains were also tested for t...

This study employed a hybrid system for the combination of pixel-based (PB) and object-oriented (OO) Support Vector Machines (SVMs) based on Bayesian Probability Theory (BPT) for improved land cover classification. A set of uncorrelated feature attributes have been generated from a one-meter IKONOS satellite image. Four different SVMs kernels were compared and tested to classify buildings, tree...

Abstract The paper describes the technology of obtaining and results investigations microstructure, XRD, SEM, main dielectric properties, electrical conductivity measurements P - E hysteresis loops Ba 0.6 Pb 0.4 TiO 3 /graphene oxide composite (abbr. BPT/GO). In final step technology, samples have been sintered using Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method. Diffraction patterns BPT/GO exhibit lines...

BACKGROUND Sleep disturbance is a common complaint of patients undergoing methadone maintenance therapy (MMT). There are limited studies about the effect of different treatments on insomnia due to MMT. In this study, we evaluated the effect of cognitive-behavioral treatment for insomnia (CBTI) on sleep disorders in patients undergoing MMT. METHODS Twenty-two patients with insomnia due to MMT ...

OBJECTIVE Evidence indicates that children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) experience acute and prolonged academic impairment and underachievement including marked difficulty with completing homework. This study is the first to examine the effects of behavioral, psychostimulant, and combined treatments on homework problems, which have been shown to predict academic performa...
