[Purpose] This study examined sex differences in physical activity and social cognitive theory factors in Korean college students. [Subjects and Methods] A cross-sectional survey of 688 college students (285 men and 403 women) in Korea was conducted using a self-reported questionnaire. [Results] There was a significant difference in the level of physical activity between male and female student...

INTRODUCTION The Current world needs people who have a lot of different abilities such as cognition and application of different ways of thinking, research, problem solving, critical thinking skills and creativity. In addition to critical thinking, learning styles is another key factor which has an essential role in the process of problem solving. This study aimed to determine the relationship ...

MOTIVATION The recent shift towards high-throughput screening is posing new challenges for the interpretation of experimental results. Here we propose the cleverSuite approach for large-scale characterization of protein groups. DESCRIPTION The central part of the cleverSuite is the cleverMachine (CM), an algorithm that performs statistics on protein sequences by comparing their physico-chemic...

a study of the combining ability and gene effects, that can obtained through diallel cross analysis provides considerable information to breeders for a design of breeding programs. inheritance and genetic control of yield and its components were studied in a full diallel cross for seven iranian cantaloupe cultivars namely: rish-baba, shah-abadi, samsouri, dastjerdi, magasi-neyshabour, till-toro...

BACKGROUND Interventions to increase cooking skills (CS) and food skills (FS) as a route to improving overall diet are popular within public health. This study tested a comprehensive model of diet quality by assessing the influence of socio-demographic, knowledge- and psychological-related variables alongside perceived CS and FS abilities. The correspondence of two measures of diet quality furt...

Currently, several beef processors employ test-and-hold systems for increased quality control of ground beef. In such programs, each lot of product must be tested and found negative for Escherichia coli O157:H7 prior to release of the product into commerce. Optimization of three testing attributes (detection time, specificity, and sensitivity) is critical to the success of such strategies. Beca...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between self-awareness and depressive symptomatology with self-reports of memory, Quality-of-Life (QoL) and satisfaction with life in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS Cross-sectional survey of 30 community dwelling adults, who sustained a TBI at least 1 year prior to study enrolment. Participants completed questionnaires to assess ...

to evaluate general and specific combining ability for resistance to bolting and cercospora leaf spot, 36 hybrids derived from crosses between 9 sugar beet lines along with four checks were planted in safiabad agricultural research center (dezful) in 2008-2009. the experimental design was a triple lattice design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among ...

This paper presents an evolutionary approach (genetic algorithm) to allocate frequencies in the cells of cellular network. In cellular telephone system, each cellular area is divided into small regions called cells. Each cell uses a unique set of frequencies. There is limited frequency so the frequency needs to be reuse. The Frequency allocation problem states that given any area separated into...

combining ability and heterosis were studied in a 6×6 partial diallel cross during 2007-2009 to see the nature of gene action in cucumber (cucumis sativus l.). analysis of variance revealed high significant differences among all the f1 hybrid means and among their respective six parental values for all the traits examined. the mean squares attributed to general combining ability (gca) and speci...
