Previously we have reported that maternal malnutrition during lactation programmes body weight and thyroid function in the adult offspring. In the present study we evaluated the effect of maternal protein restriction during lactation upon body composition and hormones related to glucose homeostasis in adult rats. During lactation, Wistar lactating rats and their pups were divided into two exper...

The purpose of this study was proposed to identify the association of trunk body composition with spinal bone mineral density (BMD) in Korean male and female farmers. A total of 523 Korean farmers (259 males, 44 premenopausal females, and 220 postmenopausal females) were recruited. Computed tomography scans were acquired at the mid-L4 vertebral level, and total trunk muscle mass (TMM, cm³), bac...

Regular outsourcing of software development signifies a need for a common understanding between procurement specialists, project managers and software engineers of individual system requirements costs, to facilitate accord on price. Dependable cost estimates are usually required by customers long before detailed analysis and design activities would normally produce this information. A number of...

Evidence supports the role of exercise training and probiotics on reducing obesity. Considering relationship between obesity high-fat diet with anxiety indices, aim this study was to assess effect probiotic supplementation high-intensity interval (HIIT) anxiety-like behaviors, corticosterone indices in (HFD)-induced mice.

This paper addresses the nebulous value for money (VfM) concept and its widely-criticised use in justifying adoption of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) transport infrastructure projects. It draws on theories identifies that is generated interaction supply side (i.e., governments - as project sponsors part delivery partnerships) demand end-users). In this sense, ‘public’ participation highlig...

mitral valve regurgitation (mvr) is a common valvular disease in dogs. hydrokinetic evaluation of the blood flow within the ventricles has become possible by vector flow mapping (vfm), which shows the blood flow within the ventricles in vector and vortex flows. blood flow within the left ventricle of mvr dogs was compared at different stages of mvr and to that of normal dogs. 14 normal dogs and...

Risk is demonstrated as one of the most crucial drivers value for money (VFM) in public–private partnerships (PPP), but previous studies, risk cost estimation quantitative evaluation VFM was still a dilemma that strongly depended on specialist discretion or had low methodological operability. This paper establishes prediction model estimating phase through combination case-based reasoning (CBR)...
