When previously sedentary men and women follow exercise training programs with ad libitum feeding, men lose body fat, but women do not. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether this observation could be related to sex differences in the way energy-regulating hormones and appetite perception respond to exercise. Eighteen (9 men, 9 women) overweight/obese individuals completed four bouts...

The goal of this article is to construct a language of the ZF set theory and to develop a notational and conceptual base which facilitates a convenient usage of the language. and 2] provide the notation and terminology for this paper. For simplicity we adopt the following rules: k, n denote natural numbers, D denotes a non empty set, a is arbitrary, and p, q denote nite sequences of elements of...

Investigations into the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) functional MRI signal have used respiratory challenges with the aim of probing cerebrovascular physiology. Such challenges have altered the inspired partial pressures of either carbon dioxide or oxygen, typically to a fixed and constant level (fixed inspired challenge (FIC)). The resulting end-tidal gas partial pressures then depe...

syntax rules Abstract syntax rules from the language definition are directly translated to the ASM notation, using certain conventions that will be explained by examples. Basically, an abstract syntax rule can be understood as declaring one or more (tuple) domains, and defining functions to construct and select values of the component domains. However, syntax nodes have an identity as opposed t...

(Def. 2) lenpr2(h1) = lenh1 and for every n such that n ∈ dompr2(h1) holds pr2(h1)(n) = h1(n)2. Let us consider A, B, let f1 be a homogeneous quasi total non empty partial function from A∗ to A, and let f2 be a homogeneous quasi total non empty partial function from B∗ to B. Let us assume that arity f1 = arity f2. The functor ee f1, f2dd yields a homogeneous quasi total non empty partial functi...

Methionine is a limiting essential amino acid in most plant-based ingredients of fish feed. In the present study, we aimed to determine the effect of dietary methionine concentrations on several main factors involved in the regulation of mRNA translation and the two major proteolytic pathways (ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosomal) in the white muscle of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykis...

AIMS Mutant protein aggregation (PA) cardiomyopathy (MPAC) is characterized by reductive stress (RS), PA (of chaperones and cytoskeletal components), and ventricular dysfunction in transgenic mice expressing human mutant CryAB (hmCryAB). Sustained activation of nuclear erythroid-2 like factor-2 (Nrf2) causes RS, which contributes to proteotoxic cardiac disease. The goals of this pre-clinical st...

The weld quality is highly related to the thermal history of and there have been many trials monitor using an infrared (IR) sensor. To obtain real temperature a surface based on brightness values measured by IR camera, emissivity value must be derived. For accurate assessment emissivity, one aware melting point isotherm. profiles only depend three factors during laser processing, specified as c...

Polyhedral cones can be represented by sets of linear inequalities that express inter-variable relationships. These inequalities express inter-variable relationships that are quantiied by the ratios between the variable coeecients. However, linear inequalities over a non-negative variable domain with only unit variable coeecients and no constants other than zero can represent relationships that...

For simplicity, we follow the rules: X, X1 denote sets, r, s denote real numbers, z denotes a complex number, R1 denotes a real normed space, and C1, C2, C3 denote complex normed spaces. Let X be a set, let C2, C3 be complex normed spaces, and let f be a partial function from C2 to C3. We say that f is uniformly continuous on X if and only if the conditions (Def. 1) are satisfied. (Def. 1)(i) X...
