Introduction Two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy has great potential to unambiguously distinguish metabolites [1,2]. J-Resolved magnetic resonance spectroscopy allows the indirect dimension to be encoded following a various number of echo times. Till now, in vivo 2D MRS related studies did not investigate sampling strategies of the indirect dimension as a way of improving the quantification of me...

Amino acid requirements of sows may change from early to late gestation due to the accelerated growth of products of conception after d 70 of pregnancy. The objective of this study was to determine the Trp requirement, Phe kinetics, and energy expenditure in early (d 35 to 53) and late (d 92 to 111) pregnancy using the indicator amino acid oxidation method and indirect calorimetry. The same 6 s...

Delayed cerebral ischemia occurs in about 30% of patients during the first 2 weeks after subarachnoid hemorrhage, and can result in substantial disability and death. Research studies investigating the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia and strategies for prevention and treatment are hampered by inconsistent use of terminology and definitions for this complication, and by reliance on indirec...

In this paper, we describe strategies we have used to foster selfregulated learning (SRL) in computer programming course in order to enhance the learning process. Strategies include direct instructions, guided practice and feedback, they were implemented using different tools to train student on SRL skills. Students in this course were enrolled in two sections randomly, one section was consider...

use of nitrogen fertilizers has contributed much to the remarkable increase in food production that has occurred during the past 50 years. however, environmental and economic challenges due to nitrogen application in agricultural have increased regard to nitrogen use efficiency (nue). studies conducted around the world shows that only half of nitrogen fertilizer inputs is taken up by crops. unf...

introduction: learning and study strategies are considered to be among the factors affecting students’ performance and also are essential for appropriate educational interventions. this study was conducted to determine the relationship between learning and study strategies and academic performance of students in alborz university of medical sciences. methods: in this descriptive, analytical, cr...

Background: Higher levels of resiliency and hardiness are associated with greater life satisfaction. However, there is limited information on the mediating role of married people responses to stressful life situations. Objectives: This study was carried out to determine the mediating role of stress-coping strategies in the association of resiliency and hardiness with the life satisfaction of m...

Signal-based induced indirect defence refers to herbivore-induced production of plant volatiles that attract carnivorous natural enemies of herbivores. Relationships between direct and indirect defence strategies were studied using tritrophic systems consisting of six sympatric willow species, willow leaf beetles (Plagiodera versicolora), and their natural predators, ladybeetles (Aiolocaria hex...
