BACKGROUND Previous research has shown that children can increase their muscular strength and muscular endurance as a result of regular participation in a progressive resistance training program. However, the most effective exercise prescription regarding the number of repetitions remains questionable. OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of a low repetition-heavy load resistance training program...

GABA(A) receptors are the principal sites of fast synaptic inhibition in the brain. These receptors are hetero-pentamers that can be assembled from a number of subunit classes: alpha(1-6), beta(1-3), gamma(1-3), delta(1), epsilon, theta;, and pi, but the majority of receptor subtypes is believed, however, to be composed of alpha, beta, and gamma2 subunits. A major mechanism for modulating GABA(...

The prevalence of cloud computing environments and the ever increasing reliance of large organisations on computational resources has meant that service providers must operate at unprecedented scales and levels of efficiency. Dynamic resource allocation (DRA) policies have been shown to allow service providers to improve resource utilisation and operational efficiency in presence of unpredictab...

As the foundation for MapReduce processing, Hadoop is one of the fundamental technologies in big data analytics. Hadoop breaks up large data into data blocks, replicates them, and stores them in a distributed storage system. Data blocks can be placed in a machine where the data will be processed (data local), in a machine in the same rack (rack-local), or in a machine in a different rack (off-r...

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the pollution levels of surface water with heavy metals including Pb, Cd and Cr in Gheshlagh River, western Iran. Methods: Water and sediment were sampled in five monitoring stations with three replicates in time along the river. The concentration of Cr, Pb and Cd in both water and sediment samples were measured with graphite furnace atomic absorption ...

In this paper, we prove that the category of rack crossed modules (with a fixed codomain) is finitely complete. other words, construct product, pullback and equalizer objects in racks. We therefore unify group-theoretical analogy completeness property sense functor $\mathbf{Conj \colon Grp \to Rack} $.

Until about six years ago, our research group used non-trivial amounts of project funds and researcher time on maintaining a dedicated server farm in the basement of our department. Rack space and cooling (just as much as funds and time) were in short supply, and we never quite got around to implementing automated load balancing across compute nodes, tuning the Linux kernel and filesystem for o...

A rack of order n is a binary operation B on a set X of cardinality n, such that right multiplication is an automorphism. More precisely, (X,B) is a rack provided that the map x 7→ x B y is a bijection for all y ∈ X, and (x B y) B z = (x B z) B (y B z) for all x, y, z ∈ X. The paper provides upper and lower bounds of the form 2cn 2 on the number of isomorphism classes of racks of order n. Simil...
