This crossover study assessed the effectiveness of plain water (PW), sports drink (SD), fresh young coconut water (CW) and sodium-enriched fresh young coconut water (SCW) on whole body rehydration (R) and plasma volume (PV) restoration after exercise-induced dehydration. Ten healthy male subjects ran at 65% of VO2max in an environmental temperature of 32.06 +/- 0.02 degree C with a relative hum...

BACKGROUND Pulsed wave (PW) Doppler echocardiography has become a routine non invasive cardiac diagnostic tool in most species. However, evaluation of intracardiac blood flow requires reference values, which are poorly documented in goats. The aim of this study was to test the repeatability, the variability, and to establish the reference values of PW measurements in healthy adult Saanen goats....

BACKGROUND Wedge filters can be used as missing tissue compensators or wedge pairs to alter the shape of isodose curves so that two beams can be angled with a small hinge angle at a target volume without creating a hotspot. AIM In this study the dosimetric properties of Varian Enhanced Dynamic Wedge (EDW) and physical wedges (PW) were analyzed and compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ionometric ...

In addition to his CSEA work, ha has served as president of the Lion's Club and the Heart Association in Albany. Many of the forward advances In the civil service had their beginnings durlnif Mr. MacFarland's three-year tenn as president. He personally served on the Comptroller's Committee to atudy making Social Security available to state and local government employees. His tenure also saw the...

The diet of Indonesian women of childbearing age is relatively poor, posing increased risk for suboptimal pregnancy outcome. In a cross-sectional study including 403 women in three economic quintiles (Q), we investigated differences in dietary intake and nutrition sufficiency according to economic status and whether regular dietary intakes of pregnant women (PW, n 203) differ from that of pre-p...

A 3-year field experiment on a sandy soi] supporting a strawberry crop was carried out to study the effects of the application of three organic residues (AC, olive mill wastewater sludge compos!; MWC, municipal solid waste compost; and PW, paper mill waste) on organic matler content, enzymatic activities, and available heavy metals. Significant increases in organic carbon content (total organic...

Produced water (PW) and spent oil-based wastewaters are some of the largest mineral oil produced. Due to high toxicity hydrocarbons, several countries set stringent discharge limits its treatment is compulsory before discharge. In this work, biological coupled with production bacterial lipids demonstrated in sequential batch airlift reactors (SBAR). Two SBAR (2 L working volume) were used for P...

We explored how N, S, P, Ca, K, Mg, Zn and Mn concentrations in percolation water (PW) and organic layer (OL) are reflected in the respective element concentrations in Scots pine and Norway spruce current needles. For both tree species, N and Ca had the highest covariation (Radj 2 ≥ 0.73) between nutrient concentrations in the OL and in the needles. Mean N, S, P, K, Zn and Mn concentrations in ...

MOTIVATION Laboratory RNA structure determination is demanding and costly and thus, computational structure prediction is an important task. Single sequence methods for RNA secondary structure prediction are limited by the accuracy of the underlying folding model, if a structure is supported by a family of evolutionarily related sequences, one can be more confident that the prediction is accura...

The goal of this paper is to investigate the nature of the high tones realized on finally stressed words in Turkish. Following Ipek & Jun’s [1] AM model of intonational phonology of Turkish, it was hypothesized that the high tone realized on the last syllable of a phrase (i.e., Intermediate Phrase (ip)) is realized differently from that of a phrase-medial prosodic word (PW), reflecting the pros...
