When human skeletal muscle is exposed to exercise training, the outcomes, in terms of physiological adaptation, are unpredictable. The significance of this fact has long been underappreciated, and only recently has progress been made in identifying some of the molecular bases for the heterogeneous response to exercise training. It is not only of great medical importance that some individuals do...

Background: Fatigue and lack of energy is a common symptom in hemodialysis patients that affects patients' self care. It can also result in job loss, increased dependence to special health care and increased mortality. Aim: This study examines the effect of employing a care plan based on the Roy Adaptation Model on level of fatigue in hemodialysis patients. Method: This clinical trial was perfo...

Climate change impacts are seen within growing numbers of cities in low- and middle-income countries, so there is growing interest in the adaptation and mitigation plans and programs put forward by city authorities. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the constraints which cities face them in this subject by analyzing the case of Tehran. City has a commitment to decentralizatio...

in order to study the effect of genotype × environment interaction and stability of sugar beet varieties, four cultivars, including shirine, zarghan, laetitia and 7112 hybrid were planted in five major areas near to sugar beet factory of biseton as kangavar, sahneh, chamchamal, dinavar and ravansar for three years (2006-2008) using a randomized complete block designs, with three replications. a...

Curves relating flicker frequency (F) to mean critical illumination (I(m)) for threshold response to flickered light, with equal durations of light and no light intervals, and relating illumination (I) to mean critical flicker frequency (F(m)) for the same response, have been obtained from homogeneous data based upon the reactions of dragonfly larvae (Anax junius). These curves exhibit the prop...
