Motor data scaling by respiration frequencies in rest
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is widely used as a tool to see activations in the different brain regions. Motor data acquired from fMRI scan is accompanied with signal due to hemodynamic changes taking place during the scan. This hemodynamic signal is dominated by parameter …

In-rest Vehicle GPS Proximity Warning in Surface Operations
Proximity Warning Systems are currently the focus of many research groups. Their goal is to produce a system that will reduce the number of run over incidents that occur in large mobile equipment operations. A majority of these incidents occur when the equipment starts from the In-rest state and …

An Optimal Interset Rest Period For Strength Recovery During A Common Isokinetic Test
<p>Introduction: Isokinetic testing is used in rehabilitation settings on a regular basis, yet there is a lack of consistency in rest period usage among protocols. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish an optimal rest period that would allow reproducibility of strength during a common …

Precise Partitions Of Large Graphs
<p>First by using an easy application of the Regularity Lemma, we extend some known results about cycles of many lengths to include a specified edge on the cycles. The results in this chapter will help us in rest of this thesis. In 2000, Enomoto and Ota posed a conjecture on the existence of path …

Simulated Associating Polymer Networks
<p>Telechelic associating polymer networks consist of polymer chains terminated by endgroups that have a different chemical composition than the polymer backbone. When dissolved in a solution, the endgroups cluster together to form aggregates. At low temperature, a strongly connected reversible …

Predição do consumo máximo de oxigênio baseada nos parâmetros da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca durante o repouso em homens saudáveis
This study aimed at determining a model for predicting the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) based on HRV parameters. The experimental sample consists on data from 70 young male physically active adults. After recording the resting tachogram with a cardio-frequencymeter for 10 min, a maximal …

The Effects of Age and Culture on Default Network Function: Frontal Compensation With Age; Modulation Differences Across Culture
Examining age and culture effects offers a unique perspective into brain function. In the current set of experiments, the effects of age (young and old) and culture (East Asian and Western) on the activity of the default network was examined in a memory encoding paradigm. With respect to age, it …

Cardiac Structure and Function in Young Athletes
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of a long-term endurance-training on resting and exercising cardiac responses on male adolescents. The sample consisted of 13 endurance-trained and 7 non-athletic male adolescents (x +\- SE, age = 15.33 +/- 0.33 and 15.15 +/- 0.23 years, …

Stress and sociality in a patrilocal primate: Do female spider monkeys tend-and-befriend?
… reduce health and reproductive fitness. Thus, coping mechanisms are valuable in reducing chronic stress. One such mechanism, the “tend-and-befriend” strategy, refers to affiliation between females as an adaptive strategy to deal with stress. This mechanism is proposed to be a widespread strategy …

The genetics of non-syndromic hearing impairment in South Africa
Hearing impairment (HI) is a sensory disorder resulting in the partial or complete disability to perceive sound in the better-hearing ear. It is defined as the inability to hear better than 25dB in the better-hearing ear. Subsequently, it is considered disabling when a child cannot perceive sound …
