conclusions the findings of this study proved that eight-week interval endurance rope training can have positive effects on lymphocyte abca1 protein expression (as gatekeeper of reverse cholesterol process) and lipid profiles among overweight and obese boy adolescents. objective the current study aimed to investigate abca1 expression in lymphocytes, plasma apolipoprotein a-i and hdl-c in respon...

development is a dynamic and continuous phenomenon that is under the influence of various factors forming a complicated multidimensional system together. any impairment in these factors can lead to impaired development in children, which is one of the most common problems in children. therefore, this study provides a brief overview of these factors and the way they affect early childhood develo...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported some evaluation methods about profiles, but so far, they have no consistent agreement on the esthetic profiles of color images. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine whether the judges have different preferences about the color of the photograph and lip position for esthetic profiles when comparing a Chinese boy and girl.

We report the discovery of unexpected instabilities of a trapped charged particle in the dynamic Kingdon trap. A detailed phase-space analysis shows that these instabilities are caused by the collapse of the primary trapping island. A resonance condition accurately predicts the locations of the instabilities. Avoiding these instabilities is essential for successfully operating the dynamic Kingd...

Meat species speciation is important to validate the quality and quantity of meat and meat products. It helps in prevention of adulteration of inferior quality meat into superior quality which is in practice since long back. The adulteration in the meat trade is a vulnerable issue and sometime creates serious medico-legal and vetero-legal complications. So handling of meat trade with authentici...
