Abstract Date Presented 03/31/2022 Sedentary behavior is prevalent and related to numerous chronic diseases. The Everyday Meaningful Activities (EMA) intervention individualized client centered aims increase adherence active lifestyle behaviors. We showed the preliminary effectiveness of EMA in forming new habits decreasing sedentary time among older adults living community. can potentially be ...

Human risk taking is characterized by a large amount of individual heterogeneity. In this study, we applied resting-state electroencephalography, which captures stable individual differences in neural activity, before subjects performed a risk-taking task. Using a source-localization technique, we found that the baseline cortical activity in the right prefrontal cortex predicts individual risk-...

We examined the course of repetitive behavior and restricted interests (RBRI) in children with and without Down syndrome (DS) over a two-year time period. Forty-two typically-developing children and 43 persons with DS represented two mental age (MA) levels: "younger" 2-4 years; "older" 5-11 years. For typically developing younger children some aspects of RBRI increased from Time 1 to Time 2. In...

Gent and Prosser proposed the first constraint model for the Stable Marriage problem with Ties and Incomplete preference lists (SMTI). Their model was based upon the simple Stable Marriage (SM) model proposed by Gent et al, in which for each man woman pair a constraint is posted consisting of a set of no good pairs of values. Prosser and Unsworth proposed a specialised binary constraint for SM ...

background: lactoperoxidase (lpo) is one of the most heat-stable enzymes in milk and its inactivation has been proposed for monitoring thermal processes. the aim of this study was to provide information on activity and thermal inactivation behavior of lpo in iranian cow and buffalo milk and whey. methods: sixty cow and buffalo milk samples were collected. the lpo activity was measured using spe...

t his paper investigates the asymmetric behavior of inflation. we use logistic smooth transition autoregressive (lstar) model to characterize the regime-switching behavior of iran’s monthly inflation during the period may 1990 to december 2013. we find that there is a triple relationship between the inflation level, its fluctuations and persistence. the findings imply that the behavior of infla...
