Introduction Children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) have significantly lower levels of physical activity compared to their peers without ID. Association between the level of physical activity and screen time with hypertension (HPT) in children and adolescents with ID has not been reported yet. Aim To assess the relationship between the level of physical activity and screen...

A successful procedure for studying imitative behavior in non-humans is the bidirectional control procedure in which observers are exposed to a demonstrator that responds by moving a manipulandum in one of two different directions (e.g., left vs. right). Imitative learning is demonstrated when observers make the response in the direction that they observed it being made. This procedure controls...

Horizontal wells, extended-reach and multi-branch wells were often used to exploit subsea oil gas efficiently. However, during the sand control screen completion of those pipe was easily deformed. Failure occurred when passing through bending section due large in wellbore trajectory. A parametric analysis model established based on ABAQUS Python software under pure load first. Then, deformation...

The Drosophila neoplastic tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) coordinately control cell polarity and proliferation in epithelial and neuronal tissues. While a small group of neoplastic TSG mutations have been isolated and their corresponding genes cloned, the regulatory pathways that normally prevent inappropriate growth remain unclear. Identification of additional neoplastic TSGs may provide insight...

An automated system is developed to control the rotation of the wheel chair based on touch screen and head movement by the physically challenged person. Independent movement can be done by them with the help of an accelerometer device which is fitted on person’s head and a touch screen is placed with the wheelchair which can be operated by the person [1]. Based on the touch and head movements, ...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) could be utilized to screen for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). SUBJECTS AND METHODS NLR and PLR were assessed by retrospective analysis of 762 healthy and pregnant women with GDM. The patients were stratified into four groups, as follows: GDM (n=144), impaired glucos...
