(2009-04-28)
Ariids or sea catfishes are one of the two otophysan fish families (out of 67 families in four orders) that inhabit primarily marine and brackish waters, although some ariid species occur strictly in fresh waters. The ...
Systemic Inflammatory Response To Consecutive Days of Exercise In The Heat
(2013-04-23)
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the LPS-mediated SIR to acute bouts of exercise in the heat and any adaptive response that occurs during consecutive days of exercise in the heat. METHODS: 8 healthy males ...
Tableware Design according to the Physical Environment
(2019-07-16)
Food and water are the most essential things in our daily life. We eat and drink several times a day, which means we use tableware several times through the day. People either eat at home or dine out with friends or families. ...
Tabular Priority Control Design: An Automated Transcription Comparison Framework for Phonetics
(2021-04-28)
Phonetics is the study and systematic classification of speech sounds. It is a discipline of linguistics that deals with the science of sound production, transmission, and reception by humans. Phonetic transcription is the ...
