OBJECTIVE To test the effect of a multidimensional lifestyle intervention on aerobic fitness and adiposity in predominantly migrant preschool children. DESIGN Cluster randomised controlled single blinded trial (Ballabeina study) over one school year; randomisation was performed after stratification for linguistic region. SETTING 40 preschool classes in areas with a high migrant population i...

Anaerobic–aerobic systems have been remarkably employed in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment for many years. While previously most treatment of wastewaters have been carried out in conventional anaerobic–aerobic treatment plants, in recent years, high rate anaerobic–aerobic bioreactors have been increasingly employed for wastewaters with high chemical oxygen demand (COD). This paper...

troduction: Based on previous studies, exercise has an important role on the reduction of anxiety. Considering high rate of anxiety in youths and its negative effects on educational progress the present study was designed to investigate the effects of aerobic and non-aerobic exercises on the anxiety reduction. Method: Sixty anxious students in zarand azad university, were randomly divided into ...

UNLABELLED Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), which causes the majority of urinary tract infections (UTI), uses pilus-mediated adherence to initiate biofilm formation in the urinary tract. Oxygen gradients within E. coli biofilms regulate expression and localization of adhesive type 1 pili. A transposon mutant screen for strains defective in biofilm formation identified the ubiI (formerly v...

Regular exercise training is recognized as a powerful tool to improve work capacity, endothelial function and the cardiovascular risk profile in obesity, but it is unknown which of high-intensity aerobic exercise, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or strength training is the optimal mode of exercise. In the present study, a total of 40 subjects were randomized to high-intensity interval aerob...

Biogranulation has been studied widely and successfully industrialized for the last two decades. Biogranulation technology for wastewater treatment includes anaerobic and aerobic granulation processes. Even though anaerobic granulation has been relatively well studied and known, studies on aerobic granulation have begun recently. The aerobic granular sludge is known to have denser and stronger ...

introduction: stumbling or falling is a major health problem among the elderly which accounts for their majority of physical injuries such as pelvic fractures, disability, loss of independency and even death. the goal of the study was comparison of the effect of aerobic and resistance exercise on static and dynamic balance in old men. methods: a quasi-experimental study was conducted and thirty...

background: amoxicillin is widely used as an antibiotic in the modern medicine. due to its chemical structure, polarity, activity level, antibiotic specifications, and environmental sustainability, amoxicillin leaks into the groundwater, surface waters, and drinking water wells. many physical and chemical methods have been suggested for removing amoxicillin from aquatic environments. however, t...

In 'good genes' models of sexual selection, females choose mates whose genes confer increased survival value to offspring. One possible index of male quality is aerobic capacity (the metabolic basis of sustainable exercise), which is likely to be important for fitness. If it is both heritable and ecologically valuable, high aerobic capacity would be a direct signal of male genetic quality. If a...
