BACKGROUND The consumption of a high protein diet (>4 g/kg/d) in trained men and women who did not alter their exercise program has been previously shown to have no significant effect on body composition. Thus, the purpose of this investigation was to determine if a high protein diet in conjunction with a periodized heavy resistance training program would affect indices of body composition, per...

Swift heavy-ion irradiation of elemental metal nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in amorphous SiO(2) induces a spherical to rodlike shape transformation with the direction of NP elongation aligned to that of the incident ion. Large, once-spherical NPs become progressively more rodlike while small NPs below a critical diameter do not elongate but dissolve in the matrix. We examine this shape transfor...

We report μSR Knight shift and susceptibility studies for 1 T applied field along the crystalline cand a-axes of the heavy fermion compound Ce2IrIn8. Below a characteristic temperature T ∗ one observes a ‘Knight-shift anomaly’ in which the Knight shift constant K no longer scales linearly with χ. This anomaly is consistent with a scaling law in which the susceptibility χ is composed of a high-t...

Herein, the interaction of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) with iron nanoparticle (Fe NP) was investigated by spectroscopic and docking studies. The zeta potential analysis revealed that addition of Fe NP (6.45±1.03 mV) to HEWL (8.57±0.54 mV) can cause to greater charge distribution of nanoparticle-protein system (17.33±1.84 mV). In addition, dynamic light scattering (DLS) study revealed that add...

We propose a rather general description of residual New Physics (NP) effects on the top quark couplings. These effects are described in terms of 20 gauge invariant dim = 6 operators involving gauge and Higgs bosons as well as quarks of the third family. We compute their implications for the γtt̄, Ztt̄ and tbW vertices and study their observability in the process e−e+ → tt̄ with t → bW → blνl. We p...

The influenza virus RNA genome is transcribed and replicated in the context of the viral ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) complex by the viral RNA polymerase. The nucleoprotein (NP) is the structural component of the vRNP providing a scaffold for the viral RNA. In the vRNP as well as during transcription and replication the viral polymerase interacts with NP but it is unclear which parts of the polymer...

silver carp is the major specimen in warm water fish culture system in iran which is presented in various size and different price. the present study was aimed to compare nutritional value and to investigate proportion of nutritional value and financial of various weight groups of silver carp in spring season. for this purpose silver carp was prepared in market sizes and their dry matter, fat, ...
