Objective: Although the relationship between area socioeconomic environment and obesity is known, previous research has measured area socioeconomic environment at only one point in time. This study evaluates the relationship of cumulative area-based adverse socioeconomic environment with body mass index…

The electronic stopping cross section (SCS) of Al2O3 for proton beams is studied both experimentally and theoretically. The measurements are made for proton energies from 40 keV up to 1 MeV, which cover the maximum stopping region, using two experimental…

Fecal samples from the Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica)
and the Amur cat (Felis bengalensis euptilurus) from Far Eastern
Russia, were examined for parasites. A natural sedimentation methodology
was used and a complete examination of all the sediment was
performed.…

Voltammetry and FTIR–ATR techniques have been employed to investigate polyphenol films formed on platinum surfaces by electrochemical oxidation of phenol. The media used in the electropolymerization were aqueous carbonate solutions, with and without Na2S. The polymeric films created are not…

The electrodeposition of lead dioxide from lead(II) nitrate in an acid medium has
been used as a test reaction to study the effects of an ultrasound field. The different behaviours found between platinum and glassy carbon electrodes have been compared…

In this communication, we report a new method to determine the wavefront
aberration function of personalized eyes. We obtain corneal surface data and
axial lengths for different eyes. With these data, we construct a diffractive model
of a human eye,…

The hardest part of coaching work is the psychological preparation of athletes and gymnasts, where the aim is to achieve higher performance. Motivation – as the driving force of our actions – has an increased role in preparing the gymnasts,…

A wide kinetic study has been carried out under different conditions in TG and TG–MS for each material, at different operating conditions. Runs were carried out at three different atmospheres: N2, N2:O2 4:1 and N2:O2 9:1. In addition to the…

Managers’ commitment to contribute to sustainable development holds the key to their long-term business success and may be a source of competitive advantage. The managerial perception of business ethics is influenced by the level of moral development and personal characteristics…

Web designers usually ignore how to model real user expectations and goals, mainly due to the large and heterogeneous audience of the Web. This fact leads to websites which are difficult to comprehend by visitors and complex to maintain by…
