Historical accounts of financial crises suggest that fear and greed are the common denominators of these disruptive events: periods of unchecked greed eventually lead to excessive leverage and unsustainable asset-price levels, and the inevitable collapse results in unbridled fear, which must subside before any recovery is possible. The cognitive neurosciences may provide some new insights into ...

Introduction: Obese individuals have elevated levels of inflammatory and cell adhesion molecules that can critically induce the occurrence of atherosclerosis. Aerobic exercise training reduces biochemical markers and anthropometric characteristics involved in atherosclerosis. However, little is known about the effect of resistance exercise training on these biomarkers. This study aimed to inves...

paulownia is one of the fast-growing species that was attended to supply industrial requirement in recent years. the application of this species is limited because of low density, so wood modification via compression and densification is an effective method. for this purpose, the paulownia boles were prepared from shastkalateh forest and cut into blocks with 60×20×20 mm dimension. the variable ...

according to the few studies in active rest interval between the resistance exercises sets, it can’t be explicitly commented about the effect of it on performance in consecutive sets. purpose: the purpose of the current study was to compare different active and passive rest interval durations (3 and 4 minutes) on the numbers of repetition of bench press with 50 and 75 percent of 1rm in untraine...

In this study, moisture content, free fatty acids, peroxide, iodine value, unsaponifiable matter, saponification value, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of wheat germ oil obtained by SC-CO2 extraction and cold press technology were investigated. Moisture, free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value, iodine value, unsaponifiable matter and saponification value of cold pres...

Background and Aim: One of the problems of all ceramic restorations is their risk of fracture due to occlusal loads. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of two marginal designs (shoulder and chamfer) on the fracture resistance of IPS-emax all ceramic restorations. Materials and Methods: One extracted maxillary first premolar received chamfer 50' marginal preparation (0.8 m...

in this research the utilization of acacia wood (acacia salicina) in medium density fiber board production was investigated. sample boards were made from acacia fibers at two resin contents (10, 12%), two press temperatures (175, 185 ˚c) and three press times(3, 4, 5 min). the results were analyzed based on a complete randomized design (crd) under a factorial experiment. results revealed that i...
