BACKGROUND Strength training is a sound method to improve body composition. However, the effect of age, diet, menopause, and physical activity on the relationship between strength training and body composition in women remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the intricacies of the relationship between strength training and body composition in 257 middle-age women and to quanti...

The postprandial state can negatively influence flow mediated dilation (FMD), a predictor of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. This investigation was designed to determine the effect of regular aerobic and/or resistance exercise on postprandial FMD after a high sugar or high fat mixed meal. Forty-five healthy participants were recruited from one of four groups: lean sedentary (SED), r...

Abstract Small organic farms still use potato lifters for harvesting. This harvesting technology involves a lot of work because potatoes need to be picked manually. The aim this study was design an innovative farming harvester aggregated with 38 kW tractor and analyse its strength the finite element method (FEM). research assumption fit construction basket in order minimise labour consumption c...

In this paper, we propose a new approach for ranking all fuzzynumbers based on revising the ranking method proposed by Ezzati et al. cite{Ezzati}.To this end, we present and investigate some properties of the proposed approach indetails. Finally, to illustrate the advantage of the proposed method, it is applied to several groups of fuzzy numbers and the results are compared with other related a...

the objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of estimating and predicting breeding values using two diverse approaches, gblup and bayesc, using simulated data under different quantitative trait locus(qtl) effect distributions. data were simulated with three different distributions for the qtl effect which were uniform, normal and gamma (1.66, 0.4). the number of qtl was assumed to be...
