background: obesity and diabetes are the most important problems of public health. evidence from molecular animal research and epidemiologic investigations indicate that calcium intake may have an influence on body composition, weight and insulin resistance. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of calcium supplementation on body composition, weight, insulin resistance and bl...

this investigation aimed to assess genetics of body conformation and feed efficiency traits in a control line of rhode island red (rir) chicken taking single hatched out pedigreed 100 chicks at central avian research institute, izatnagar, india. data was analyzed by least squares analysis of variance. least squares means of chick weight (cw), body weight (bw), shank length (sl), keel length (kl...

in this paper we carried out an exact statistics on the basis of total admission due to abortions, with following results: 1- abortion incidence is 14 of total admissions. 2- 46.8 of abortions were between the 8th and 12th weeks of gestation. 3- 42,038 of the patients with abortion were 24 years old or younger (younger than 25 years of age). 4- the abortion incidence is equal in different blood...

The best means to utilize X-ray computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound to predict carcass lean, fat and bone weights in vivo in terminal sire sheep were tested. Data on 160 lambs from three breeds were considered: 50 Suffolk males, 50 Suffolk females, 40 Texel males and 20 Charollais males. One-fifth of the lambs within each breed and sex group were slaughtered at each of 14, 18 and 22 weeks o...

8th graders gave complete falsification solutions 29% of the time, 10th graders, 42%, and 12th graders, 46%. When only the three familiar problems are considered, 8th graders gave complete falsification solutions 48% of the time, 10th graders, 62%, and 12th graders, 68%. A test for the difference between two proportions revealed that only the 12th grade selected this solution more frequently th...

BACKGROUND Physical activity levels of girls decline in adolescence, but little is known about changes in participation in specific types of physical activity. This study examined change in participation in specific activities during adolescence in girls. METHODS Girls (N = 398, age 13.6 +/- 0.6 y at baseline, 58.5% African American) from 31 middle and 24 high schools in South Carolina comple...
