The purpose of this study was to compare single and multiple sets of weight training for strength gains in recreationally trained individuals. Sixteen men (age = 21 +/- 2.0) were randomly assigned to 1 set (S-1; n = 8) or 3 set (S-3; n = 8) groups and trained 3 days per week for 12 weeks. One repetition maximum (1RM) was recorded for bench press and leg press at pre-, mid-, and posttest. Subjec...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of different rest intervals (RI) between sets on number of repetitions, sustainability of repetitions, and total volume during a leg press exercise. Seventeen resistance-trained older women (68.0 ± 5.9 years, 71. 2 ± 11.7 kg, 1.58 ± 0.07 m) participated in the study. All participants performed three sets to voluntary exhaustion, with loads that...

Social policy matters have long been considered women's issues. Extant research has documented a strong link between gender and the policies of the welfare state in the legislative, executive and electoral arenas. Yet what determines the strength of this association has largely been left unexplored. Drawing on tokenism theory, this article proposes gender diversity at the group level as a key e...

575 from the Society’s archives some 300 years ago and discovered in 2005 in a private house—was about to be auctioned when the Society and the vendors reached an agreement for a UK£1 million transaction. “We are keen that as wide an audience as possible, including scholars and the general public, should now be able to appreciate these documents,” commented the Royal Society’s President, Lord R...

2 Unlike the Greeks, who later benefited from the advances of Egyptian and Mesopotamian scholars and who developed an abstract theory of knowledge, the Egyptians used knowledge for the practical accomplishment of goals tied to their religious worldview. An examination of Egyptian engineering and science, principally during the Old Kingdom (c. 2670-2150 BCE) and Middle Kingdom (c. 2040-1650 BCE)...

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of Egyptian hotels’ websites marketing on customer e-satisfaction and how to achieve e-loyalty through focusing on e-satisfaction success factors (website information quality, system convenience, system safety, service quality, expectations and perceptions for hotel services and facilities, and intention to revisit). In this study, convenience...

poor stand establishment of canola (brassica napus l.) under flatland mechanized planting and crust-forming soil is a major problem for farmers in central iran. previous research there showed that irrigated cotton emergence on crust-forming soils under flatland planting can be significantly improved using a double-disk planter with zero-pressure press wheel tires and no crust-breaking. in that ...

The Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) is a natural reservoir for marburgviruses and a consistent source of virus spillover to humans. Cumulative evidence suggests various bat species may also transmit ebolaviruses. We investigated the susceptibility of Egyptian rousettes to each of the five known ebolaviruses (Sudan, Ebola, Bundibugyo, Taï Forest, and Reston), and compared findings ...

A signi cant genetic component is involved in the development of the craniofacial form. Recently, the growth hormone receptor gene (GHR) variants rs6180 and rs6184 were associated with variations in mandibular form. To con rm these ndings we evaluated the relationship between these GHR variants and mandibular form in a cohort of Egyptian individuals with a normal skull form. The patients consis...

Background: To evaluate the role of different morphological palatal rugae patterns (palatal print) as a tool for personal identification. Method: A pilot cross-sectional study was carried out on 60 Egyptian subjects and 60 Malaysian subjects. All were above 6 years old, nonsmokers and were sharing the same dietary habits. Palatal impressions were taken from the subjects and a rugogram was issue...
