To determine the critical cell numbers needed to form blastocyst stage embroys, bisected mouse embryos of 8-cell stage and compacted morula (approximately 16 cells) containing different numbers of blastomeres were cultured in vitro. The percentage of bisected compacted morulae with 7-9 blastomeres that developed to eu-blastocysts was 98.8%, while only 64.2% of the bisected 8-cell embryos with 4...

Internet usage is growing rapidly among the world. Furthermore, Internet usage is widely accepted among EU countries’ citizens. In this paper intend is to research to what extent Internet sales by individuals is influenced by the barriers people perceive to buying/ordering over the Internet, using of Internet, and level of computer/Internet skills them posses. A data source for that research Eu...

Online, accessible performance and heart rate data from running competitions are posted publicly or semi-publicly to social media. We tested the efficacy of one such data resource- Strava- as a tool in exercise physiology investigations by exploring heart rate differences in mountain racing and road racing running events. Heart rate and GPS pace data were gathered from Strava activities posted ...

In this article, flood floods affecting automobile roads and natural disaster relapse on maps using geoinformation systems. The consists of forecasting the arrival. impact highways was considered from studied factors. Flood (Flood current) - a stagnant mud or rock stream consisting mixture water fragments that suddenly appear in basins small mountaineers. How to increase productivity, movement,...

Knowledge about potential protective factors against mental health problems is highly needed. Regular physical activity (PA) in an outdoor environment, like mountain exercising, might reduce psychological distress. Therefore, the aims of the present study were to assess the prevalence of mental health problems in mountain exercisers and to detect factors associated with psychological distress. ...

Lanthanoid-based optical probes with excitation wavelengths in the ultra-violet (UV) range (300-325 nm) have been widely developed as imaging probes. Efficient cellular imaging requires that lanthanoid optical probes be excited at visible wavelengths, to avoid UV damage to cells. The efficacy of europium-catalyzed single-walled carbon nanotubes (Eu-SWCNTs), as visible nanoprobes for cellular im...

Different compositions of Eu doped electrodes were prepared by a pyrolysis method in order to investigate the effect of Eu on the electro-catalytic behavior of Ti-based SnO(2)/Sb electrodes. The electrodes were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD and their degradation abilities were evaluated using phenol. The electro-catalytic performance of prepared electrodes was strongly influenced by the heat-t...

Ultrashort femtosecond pulsed lasers may provide indispensable benefits for medical bioimaging and diagnosis, particularly for noninvasive biopsy. However, the ability of femtosecond laser irradiation to produce biodamage in the living body is still a concern. To solve this biosafety issue, results of theoretical estimations as well as the in vitro and in situ experiments on femtosecond biodama...
