We have previously shown that a short-term weight (Wt) reduction programme consisting of energy restriction, physical activity and psychological counselling, produces physiological changes of body water distribution (BWD) in obese subjects as detected by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The present study was aimed at testing the contribution of diet and physical activity to the observed change...

The methanolic extracts from branches (BEP) and leaves (LEP) of Eysenhardtia platycarpa significantly decreased the blood glucose levels in normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. One new flavone, (1"R)-5,4',1"-trihydroxy-6,7-(3",3"-dimethylchroman)flavone (1), together with the known compounds 5,7-dihydroxy-6-methyl-8-prenylflavanone (3), 5,7-dihydroxy-8-methyl-6-prenylflavanone...

Molecular communication (MC) has recently emerged as a novel paradigm for nano-scale communication utilizing molecules as information carriers. In diffusion-based molecular communication, the system performance is constrained by the inter-symbol-interference (ISI) caused by crossover of information carrying molecules in consecutive bits. To cope with this, we propose the Reed-Solomon (RS) codes...

INTRODUCTION Platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimens, including BEP (bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin) represent the standard of care, first line therapy in non-epithelial ovarian tumours. Cardiovascular toxicity is a rare adverse effect of bleomycin. CASE REPORT A 41-year-old woman with ovarian granulosa tumor, treated with first line BEP chemotherapy experienced chest discomfort rapidly pro...

Abstract Increasing trust in energy performance certificates (EPCs) and drawing meaningful conclusions requires a robust accurate determination of building (BEP). However, existing by law prescribed engineering methods, relying on physical principles, are under debate for being error-prone practice ultimately inaccurate. Research has heralded data-driven mostly machine learning algorithms, to b...

The two most salient dichotic pitches, the Huggins pitch (HP) and the binaural edge pitch (BEP), are produced by applying interaural phase transitions of 360 and 180 degrees, respectively, to a broadband noise. This paper examines accounts of these pitches, concentrating on a "central activity pattern" (CAP) model and a "modified equalization-cancellation" (mE-C) model. The CAP model proposes t...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to derive a novel prognostic score for mortality in paediatric meningococcal sepsis (MS) based on readily available laboratory markers. METHODS A multicentre retrospective cohort study for the consortium set and a single centre retrospective study for replication set. The consortium set were 1,073 children (age 1 week to 17.9 years) referred over a 15-ye...

Nowadays, most wireless communication standards utilize Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) as their modulation technique. For coherent detection, the performance of such systems depends strongly on the accuracy of the channel estimation. One possible estimation technique is Pilotsymbol-Aided Channel Estimation (PACE), which allows the reconstruction of the channel by means of int...

An alternative effort that can increase feed efficiency is the use of fermented fecal waste, which relatively inexpensive to substitute for commercial rations in order reduce production costs. This study aims determine effect cow feces ration on economic value female KUB chickens growth phase before puberty.The material used 64 aged 8 weeks 16 weeks. a Completely Rendomized Design (RAL) with fo...
