PURPOSE Optimal training intensity and the adequate exercise level for physical fitness is one of the most important interests of coaches and sports physiologists. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of the Narita et al target heart rate equation for the adequate exercise training level in sedentary young boys. METHODS Forty two sedentary young boys (19.07±1.16 years) undert...

This study examined the utility of word recognition scores for estimating actual Verbal IQ scores obtained from 1-5 years earlier. Participants were 271 persons remaining normal and 24 initially normal persons who developed cognitive impairment over longitudinal follow-up. A previously published regression equation based on education and the American modification of the National Adult Reading T...

estimation of reservoir water saturation (sw) is one of the main tasks in well logging. many empirical equations are available, which are, more or less, based on archie equation. the present study is an application of radial basis function neural network (rbfnn) modeling for estimation of water saturation responses in a carbonate reservoir. four conventional petrophysical logs (pls) including d...

In this work, the local pressure of fluids confined inside nanoslit pores is predicted within the framework of the density functional theory. The Euler-Lagrange equation in the density functional theory of statistical mechanics is used to obtain the force balance equation which leads to a general equation to predict the local normal component of the pressure tensor. Our approach yields a genera...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE The applicability of Caucasian prediction equations in interpreting spirometry data in Indian patients has not been studied. The present study was undertaken to see if Caucasian and north Indian prediction equations can be used interchangeably while interpreting routine spirometric data. METHODS Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV(...

the effect on sugar beets of water and nitrogen movement in the soil under different water conditions was assessed over two years (2000-1) at the khorasan agricultural research center. three water treatments (no water stress, continuous stress and primary stress) and three n amounts (80, 160 and 240 kg n/ha) were investigated. the amount of moisture depletion in the water treatments was 50%, 80...

Ambient particulate matter contains polar multifunctional oxygenates that partition between the vapor and aerosol phases. Vapor pressure predictions are required to determine the gas-particle partitioning of such organic compounds. We present here a method based on atomistic simulations combined with the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to predict the liquid vapor pressure, enthalpies of vaporizatio...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether predicted tumor volume could predict pathologic stage in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical and pathologic data of 236 patients who underwent a 12-core needle biopsy followed by radical prostatectomy were obtained from our database and reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS Observed tumor volume ...

The gross energy cost of treadmill and track running is re-investigated from data published in the literature. An average equation, weighted for the number of subjects in each study, was found: VO2 (ml/kg/min) = 2.209 + 3.163 speed (km/h) for 130 subjects (trained and untrained males and females) and 10 treadmill studies. On the track, wind resistance as predicted by Pugh (1970) was added to th...

A modified physics-informed neural network is used to predict the dynamics of optical pulses including one-soliton, two-soliton, and rogue wave based on coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in birefringent fibers. At same time, elastic collision process mixed bright-dark soliton predicted. Compared predicted results with exact solution, method proven be effective solve equation. Moreover, d...
