ObjectiveTo determine to what extent physical fitness indicators and/or moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) may account for final mathematics academic performance (APmath) awarded at the end of primary school.MethodsSchool-aged youth were sampled in a repeated-measures, longitudinal design in Grade 6 (?11 years), and again in Grade 9 (?14
Design, Implementation and Control of a SiC-Based T5MLC Induction Drive System
This paper presents and evaluate a prototype of an advanced topology of five-level T-type MLC, namely “T5MLC”, implemented within a complete AC induction drive.The evaluation is based on the ability of balancing the converter DC link capacitor voltages, the torque and flux ripples reduction of the induction motor under control, the ha
Detection of Anti-Erythrocyte Antibodies in Dogs with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Several extra-intestinal manifestations, including immune-mediated cytopenias, are reported in human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whereas they are poorly documented in dogs.Hypothesizing that immune-mediated subclinical anemia can occur in canine IBD, the study aim was to evaluate the erythrogram and the presence of anti-RBC antibodies in dogs
Immunosuppressive Mechanisms of Malignant Gliomas: Parallels at Non-CNS Sites
The central nervous system (CNS) possesses powerful local and global immunosuppressive capabilities that modulate unwanted inflammatory reactions in nervous tissue.These same immune-modulatory mechanisms are also co-opted by malignant brain tumors and pose a formidable challenge to brain tumor immunotherapy.Routes by which malignant gliomas coordin
