Abstract:

The CKM matrix element |Vus| can be extracted from the experimental measurement of semileptonic K → π decays and theoretical input for the corresponding vector form factor in QCD. The thesis performs a major improvement of the RBC/UKQCD programme to calculate Kl3 form factor in Nf = 2+1 Lattice QCD using domain wall fermions. We use data from several lattice spacings and dfferent quark masses with lightest pion mass of about 170MeV. Systematic error corresponding to interpolation in the momentum transfer is avoided using partially twisted boundary conditions. Using simulated quark masses near

Abstract:

Nowadays, students are engaged not only in educational activities, but also work independently, and in some situations, all act as parents [1]. In addition, modern students lack the notion of a daily regimen as such. All this leads to the fact that they do not have time for physical activity or simply are not interested in its implementation [2]. Therefore, it is very important to identify factors that motivate students to engage in physical labor in order to further increase the level of students’ interest in physical activity.

Abstract:

The neuropilin (Nrp) family consists of multifunctional cell surface receptors with critical roles in a number of different cell and tissue types. A core aspect of Nrp function is ligand-dependent cellular adhesion and migration, where it controls the multistep process of cellular motility through integration of ligand binding, receptor coupling and signaling via the coordinated action of its extracellular and intracellular domains. While Nrp regulates cellular adhesion and motility in the cardiovascular and nervous systems under physiological conditions, the emerging pathological role of Nrp

Abstract:

Physical activity (PA) is considered a health imperative, so it is understandable that physical inactivity imposes a serious health threat. The fact that alarming decline in physical activity levels (PALs) occurs in adolescence is particularly concerning. Accordingly, the dissertation deals with PA issues among adolescents in regular conditions and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Generally, changes and correlates of the PALs in the period from 14 to 18 years of age and in the period of the COVID-19 pandemic are investigated. Four presented studies analyze the specified problems in adolescents fr

In contrast to its restricted pattern of transposition, I factor expression is detectable in somatic issues o

Abstract:

<p> It is not too difficult to get an individual to start a physical activity program. It is incredibly difficult to get an individual to maintain a physical activity program over time. All of life’s major and minor inconveniences can become a barrier to performing physical activity, and thus lead to sedentary behavior. The construct of resilience, defined as positively adapting to adverse circumstances, may be helpful in the maintenance of physical activity. However, resilience as a construct is not entirely understood in the current literature. Some theorists suggest resilience is a si

Abstract:

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of blindness in adults. Abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye during the course of AMD causes damage to the retina, resulting in irreversible blindness. The goal of this research was to determine whether physical pressure on retinal cells can contribute to the increased blood vessel formation. To replicate the tears in the cell layers, a micropatterning method was used as a means of detaching cells from each other. Two new devices were also developed to mimic slow and fast increases in mechanical pressure on cell layers of the eye.

This study explored the potential for physical activity to be an effective, healthy coping strategy alternative to self-harm behaviors. Regression analyses were performed to assess how physical activity level related to risk factors (i.e., emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, and depression) and self-harm behaviors. The relationship between selfharm and exercise motivations was also examined. Participants were recruited from two high schools (n = 95) and one university (n = 72) in the southeastern region of the United States.

Purpose: When the prevalence of physical teen dating violence (TDV) victimization is examined at the state level, significant variation exists; the prevalence ranges from 7.4% in Oklahoma and Vermont to 17.8% in Louisiana.

Method: Data measuring physical TDV victimization were obtained from the 2009 YRBS.

FGF21 is a stress-inducible hormone predominantly secreted from the liver.

However, the physiological roles of FGF21 in regulating glucose homeostasis during adaptive starvation responses and its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Furthermore, FGF21 is induced by both acute and chronic exercise training in both rodents and human. The physiological significances and the underlying mechanisms for exercise-induced FGF21 pro

We create a proof-of-concept KeePass (a popular password manager) extension that adds browser-based automation to the 2FA setup process and conduct a 30-participant within-subjects user study to measure user perceptions about the system.

Indeed skeletal muscle is a highly dynamic tissue that modulates its metabolism and mass as a consequence of different physiopathological conditions.

Voltage graph theory can be used to describe embeddings of product graphs if one factor is a Cayley graph. We use voltage graphs to explore embeddings of various products where one factor is a hypercube, describing some minimal and symmetrical embeddings. We then define a graph product, the weak symmetric difference, and illustrate a voltage graph construction useful for obtaining an embedding of the weak symmetric difference of an arbitrary graph with a hypercube.

However, having good projection properties is of little concern if the correct factors cannot be identified.

Abstract:

Plackett-Burman designs and three quarter fractional factorial designs are both well established in the statistical literature yet have never been combined and studied. Plackett-Burman designs are often non-regular and are thus subject to complex aliasing. However, Plackett-Burman designs have the advantage of run-size efficiency (over the usual 2^(k) factorials) and taking three quarters of a Plackett-Burman design further improves this benefit. By considering projections of these designs, we constructed a catalog of designs of resolution V and ranked by D-efficiency.

Abstract:

Antibodies have been widely used as reagents, homing devices, diagnostics and as therapeutic agents against different targets in clinic and research. Recently a number of monoclonal antibodies and their drug conjugates have been approved as therapeutic agents. While these molecules have great potential in various applications and therapeutics, extensive use of full length antibodies has been hampered by the high cost of production, large molecular weight and limited ability to penetrate tumor tissues. These limitations have led to the research for antibody alternatives with lower molecular wei

Abstract:

In this study the relationships among the land use and soil types in the entire river basin as well as in the buffer strip on the one hand, and the Lithuanian river water quality physico-chemical parameters on the other hand have been identified. The spatially based Factor analysis has been tested on river hydrochemical data from 108 sites for the period of 1999-2004. The Factor analysis enabled the identification of the main natural and anthropogenic processes (factors) determining water quality during each season of a year. As a result, monitoring stations were grouped into clusters each rep
