As a result of advancing globalization and economic activities that go beyond national borders, gross domestic product (GDP) and gross national product (GNP) are becoming dissociated. The two are the same to the extent that they measure (gross) added value generated during a specific period (e.g., one year). A difference between them is, generally speaking, the former focuses on whether economi...

Liquid scintillation counting (LSC) is an adequate nuclear technique to determine radioactivity levels, as verified by this study for the determination of the gross alpha and beta activities of aqueous samples because of its simplicity and low associated cost comparison with other techniques. This paper discusses a new approach to the monitoring of gross alpha and gross beta activities in water...

the main purpose of this study was to determine which correlate, perceived motor competence or motor skill competence, best predicts girls' physical activity behavior.a sample of 352 girls (mean age=8.7, sd=0.3 yr) participated in this study. to assess motor skill competence and perceived motor competence, each child completed the test of gross motor development-2 and physical ability sub-scale...

today, with emphasis on the mechanical heart and heart transplantation from one human to another andone species to another, a knowledge of the anatomy of the bird’s heart could contribute to theseaccomplishments. eight male adult ostriches were used to study the heart macroscopically. this studyrevealed that the ostrich heart has some different features from the other birds. in the ostrich, fib...

and study its approximation in the sense of Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (a BGKlike approximation for short). In particular, we aim to describe the conservation law (1.1) as the hydrodynamic limit of the stochastic BGK model, as the microscopic scale ε goes to 0. The literature devoted to the deterministic counterpart, i.e. corresponding to the situation Φ = 0, is quite extensive (see [1], [11], [15],...

Objectives: The present study examined the effect of home-based handling training of mothers on the improvement of gross motor function of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Methods: In this randomized control trial, 42 children with CP (5-12 years old) were randomly assigned into the intervention and control groups. Data were collected using the Gross Motor Function Classification System and ...

Dialyzed, concentrated urine from 21 patients with a history of bladder cancer or a gross bladder tumor was tested for cell motility activity using BALB/c/3T3 cells. Thirteen urine samples from patients with a gross bladder tumor produced a greater increase in cell migration than 8 urine samples from patients with a history of bladder cancer [167% +/- 14 (S.E.), 64% +/- 19, respectively; p less...
