introduction: diabetes mellitus (dm) is now seen as a worldwide epidemic disease with high prevalence. exercise training (et) is known to promote beneficial changes in diabetic patients. the aim of this study was to compare the impact of continuous and intermittent aerobic training on glucose-4 transporter protein (glut-4) levels and insulin sensitivity in diabetic rats. materials and methods: ...

heat transfer mechanisms and the solidification process are simulated for a continuous casting machine and the geometric shape of the liquid pool is predicted considering different conditions. a heat transfer and solidification model is described for the continuous casting of steel slabs. the model has been established on the basis of the technical conditions of the slab caster in the continuou...

The notion of contra continuous functions was introduced and investigated by Dontchev. In this paper, we apply the notion of $beta^{*}$-closed sets in topological space to present and study a new class of functions called contra $beta^{*}$-continuous and almost contra $beta^{*}$-continuous functions as a new generalization of contra continuity.

Every project team expects their project management to be automated and robust. With advancements in automation technologies, one can think of automating the manual built infrastructures like storage servers, project servers and deployments on those servers. We can achieve this automation of Infrastructure and build a continuous delivery pipeline which accelerates the speed of project developme...

a full scale physical model of a thin slab caster with a four-hole design submerged entry nozzle (sen) was constructed. on the basis of the dimensionless reynolds and froude similitude criteria, the fluid flow in a full-scale model is similar to that of the actual system and, hence, the data obtained from the water model can be applied to the actual system. in order to determine the optimum ope...

conclusions hemodialysis patients need a consistent care plan to manage poor sleep quality. this research has proven the effectiveness of implementing ccm as an intervention for improving the sleep quality of hemodialysis patients. ccm provides a comprehensive model for caring for hemodialysis patients, and its executive stages are congruent with the many stages of the nursing process. practiti...

The morphology of retinal photoreceptor layer was studied in continuous light-exposed and dark-adapteddomestic male cats (Felis catus). The eyes of 12 healthy adult cats (4 in continuous light-exposed group, 4 in continuous dark-adapted group, and 4 in control group) were routinely fixed and studied by electron microscope. Results showed that the general structure of photoreceptor layer in this...

The paper describes the current performance of the primary clock CS1 of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). The clock employs a thermal atomic beam and magnetic state selection. After major reconstruction during 1995 and 1996, routine clock operation was restarted in May 1997. Results of comparisons with UTC(PTB) and other internationally recognized time scales are presented. An ev...

In many natural situations, one observes a local system with many competing species that is coupled by weak immigration to a regional species pool. The dynamics of such a system is dominated by its stable and uninvadable (SU) states. When the competition matrix is random, the number of SUs depends on the average value and variance of its entries. Here we consider the problem in the limit of wea...
