Introductory psychology students (120 females and 120 males) rated attractiveness and fecundity of one of six computer-altered female Ž gures representing three body-weight categories (underweight, normal weight and overweight) and two levels of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), one in the ideal range (0.72) and one in the non-ideal range (0.86). Both females and males judged underweight Ž gures to be ...

The aim of this study was to examine the associations between women's actual:ideal weight-related self-discrepancies and experiences of weight-related shame, guilt, and authentic pride using self-discrepancy (Higgins, 1987) and self-conscious emotion (Tracy & Robins, 2004) theories as guiding frameworks. Participants (N=398) completed self-report questionnaires. Main analyses involved polynomia...

Weight control is desirable in the muscle wasting conditions. A new chart is presented to allow the prediction of an ideal weight, free of excess fat, specifically for boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Experimental inoculation of commercial laying hens with the S6-strain of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (S6MG) at 20 wk of age, while being maintained under ideal conditions, has previously been shown to affect the lengths and weights of various portions of the reproductive tract. Two trials were conducted in the current study to compare the effects of S6MG inoculation prior to lay at 10 wk of age, d...

We study the Eisenstein ideal for modular forms of even weight $k>2$ and prime level $N$. pay special attention to phenomenon extra reducibility: is strictly larger than cutting out reducible Galois representations. prove a modularity theorem these As consequences, we relate derivative Mazur–Tate $L$-function rank Hecke algebra, generalizing Merel, give new proof case an equivariant main conjec...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients were studied to investigate the muscles' ability to produce and sustain high-intensity short-term exercise in this population. The patients, 17 males and 23 females, ranged from 10 to 39 years of age. Each patient performed a pulmonary function test followed by a Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT). Based on a pulmonary function scoring system, patients were classified a...

BACKGROUND Weight-bearing radiographs are a critical component of evaluating foot and ankle pathology. An underlying assumption is that patients are placing 50% of their body weight on the affected foot during image acquisition. The accuracy of weight bearing during radiographs is unknown and, presumably, variable, which may result in uncertain ability of the resultant radiographs to appropriat...
