the millennium development goals (mdgs) are eight international development goals and 21 targets that all countries have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. central asian countries have shown uneven progress in achieving these goals. this paper conducts a comparative study of the impact of economic integration of the regional countries into the world economy on uneven progress of central asian ...

Background: The effects of meal-specific protein quantity and protein distribution throughout the day on daily food intake are relatively unknown. Objectives: The aims were to test 1) whether the consumption of higher-protein (HP) compared with normal-protein (NP) meals consumed at each eating occasion reduce free-living, daily carbohydrate and fat intakes in overweight women during energy bala...

the aim of this study was to determine the optimal cutting cycle in an uneven-aged beech forest in the north of iran. first of all, a logistic growth model was determined for an uneven aged forest. then, the stumpage price was predicted via an autoregressive model. the average stumpage price of beech was derived from actual timber, round wood, fire and pulpwood prices at road side minus the var...

Proteins assemble into complexes with diverse quaternary structures. Although most heteromeric complexes of known structure have even stoichiometry, a significant minority have uneven stoichiometry--that is, differing numbers of each subunit type. To adopt this uneven stoichiometry, sequence-identical subunits must be asymmetric with respect to each other, forming different interactions within ...

Recent research has focused on the design of intelligent prosthetic ankle devices with the goal of adapting the behavior of the device to accommodate all walking surfaces that an individual encounters in daily life. One surface that is particularly difficult for persons with transtibial amputation (TTA) is uneven ground. Patients with TTA have an increased frequency of falling on uneven ground ...
