Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face obstacles in their cognitive development. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of drum rhythm therapy model stimulating abilities (attention, concentration, and short-term memory) children ASD. The experiment method was used a one-group pretest-posttest design. Attention concentration levels were measured both before after through seri...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two recovery strategies between men's gymnastics events on blood lactate removal (BL) and performance as rated by expert "blind" judges. Twelve male gymnasts (21.8 +/- 2.4 years) participated. The sessions were composed of routine performances in the six Olympic events, which were separated by 10 min of recovery. All gymnasts performed ...

Laboratory, digestion and growth studies were used to evaluate energy and protein supplements for ammoniated (4% of the forage DM) stargrass (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst var. nlemfuensis) hay. Ammoniation increased (P less than .05) total N concentration (.7 to .9% vs 1.7 to 2.0%) and in vitro digestion of OM, NDF and ADF and reduced (P less than .05) NDF concentration of stargrass hay. Two d...

The objective of this experiment was to determine age-related changes in collagen concentration, sarcomere length, calpain (land m-) and calpastatin activities, postmortem proteolysis and Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) in ovine longissimus thoracis et lumborum. Rambouillet lambs were slaughtered at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 months of age and samples of longissimus were collected at 0, 2 and 10 days...

Stallions were subjected to a gradually increasing photoper iod beginning on October 15, 1973. The maxi,mum artificial daylength (16 hr) was imposed on February 8, 1974, and maintained until October 6, 1974. Two ejaculates were collected from each of five treated and four control stallions weekly, with an interval of 24 hr between the paired ejaculates on the first and alternate weeks, and an i...

The effects of supplying increasing ruminal doses of exogenous polysaccharide-degrading enzymes (EPDE) on rumen fermentation and nutrient digestion were studied using eight ruminally cannulated heifers, four of which were also duodenally cannulated, in a replicated Latin square. The heifers were fed a diet of 85.5% rolled barley grain and 14% barley silage (DM basis), and once daily they were g...

The present study evaluated whether dietary arginine (Arg) supplementation could attenuate immune challenge induced by Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis C500 (S.C500) through the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4-myeloid differentiation factor 88 (Myd88) signalling pathway in weaned piglets. A total of thirty-six weaned pigs were randomly allocated into six groups with six replicates per group....
