BACKGROUND The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of sleep deprivation and dietary irregularities during Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) on selective fitness profile parameters in young untrained male Muslim individuals. METHODS 77 untrained Muslim men were recruited in the study. They were divided into the experimental group (EG; n=37, age: 22.62±1.77 years) and the cont...

We study the sum of many independent spike trains and ask whether the resulting spike train has Poisson statistics or not. It is shown that for a non-Poissonian statistics of the single spike train, the resulting sum of spikes has exponential interspike interval (ISI) distributions, vanishing the ISI correlation at a finite lag but exhibits exactly the same power spectrum as the original spike ...

According to research examining self‐regulated learning (SRL), we regard individual regulation as a specific sequence of regulatory activities. Ideally, students perform various learning activities, such as analyzing, monitoring, and evaluating cognitive and motivational aspects during learning. Metacognitive prompts can foster SRL by inducing regulatory activities, w...

Let EG be a holomorphic principal G–bundle over a compact connected Riemann surface, where G is a connected reductive affine algebraic group defined over C, such that EG admits a holomorphic connection. Take any β ∈ H(X, ad(EG)), where ad(EG) is the adjoint vector bundle for EG, such that the conjugacy class β(x) ∈ g/G, x ∈ X , is independent of x. We give a sufficient condition for the existen...

This study develops a self-generated drawing environment for the support of young children’s writing and storytelling skill through the implementation of drawing, writing, and storytelling activities. In particular, each student used a tablet PC to share a story and drawings based on written text. An experiment was conducted in a primary school with 116 1st grade students from four classes (div...

BACKGROUND Research supports a link between exercise and falls prevention in the older population. OBJECTIVES Our aims were to evaluate pain perception and balance skills in a group of elderly subjects and to examine the consequences of a standardized equipment-free exercise program intervention on these variables. The study utilized a randomized controlled trial method. METHODS 92 subjects...

Alcohol intoxication is a potentially under-recognised precipitant of Brugada syndrome. Higher pre-cordial electrocardiogram lead placement increases sensitivity of detecting the Brugada pattern.

The reliability, reproducibility and accuracy of in-vivo measurements are of great importance and have to be thoroughly studied and to a great extend achieved. Reproducibility problems may result from the electronic components of the applied devices and the variability of measured variables as well as noise sources. The inaccuracy is caused by the approximation in the calculations or the used m...

the aim of this study was to assess the effects of exogenous histamine and h1 and h2 central receptorson electrocardiographic (ecg) parameters, heart rate and mean electrical axis in broiler chickens. for thispurpose, ross broiler chickens (750-800 g weight) received intracerebroventricularly (icv) histamine.moreover, to determine the receptors involved in histamine-induced alterations in ecg c...
