Objective(s) Studies have described immunomedulatory effects of sun exposure and ultraviolet radiation on infectious and neoplastic diseases. Here the effect of exposure to low potency radiation of sun on the course of leishmaniasis in mice was studied. Materials and Methods Fifteen BALB/c mice were exposed to suberythemogenic doses of sun (mean 180 mJ/cm2/day of UVB) 2 months before and 4 m...

In modern computer systems, long-running jobs are divided into a large number of short tasks and executed in parallel. As the system size and complexity scales up, the task service times become highly random and the job service time is constrained by the slowest straggling tasks. An efficient solution is to replicate a task on multiple servers and wait for one task copy to finish early. However...

A new class of singlet superconductors with a gap function ∆(k, ωn) which is odd in both momentum and Matsubara frequency is considered. Some of the physical properties of this superconductivity are discussed and it is argued that: i) the electron-phonon interaction can produce this kind of pairing, ii) in many cases there is no gap in the quasiparticle spectrum, iii) these superconductors will...

purpose the purpose of the present study was to evaluate effects of regular practice of sun salutation on muscle strength, general body endurance and body composition. methods subjects (49 male and 30 female) performed 24 cycles of sun salutation, 6 days a week for 24 weeks. upper body muscle strength was determined by 1 repetition maximum (1rm) for bench press and shoulder press technique. bac...
