Emotions and Multilingualism in L1 isiXhosa speakers: Measuring emotional resonance reduction using the RER-LX scale
… the Reduced Emotional Resonance in the LX scale (RER-LX scale). The study considers data collected from a sample of 100 participants between the ages of 18 and 37 years old. The findings revealed that a variety of sociolinguistic factors influenced the participants responses to the RER-LX scale, …

Genetic investigation of recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis risk and performance in racehorses
Recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) is a disease in Thoroughbred and Standardbred racehorses involving repeated episodes of skeletal muscle cell breakdown in response to exercise in otherwise physically fit horses. Based on epidemiological and heritability studies, RER has been hypothesized …

Real Exchange Rate Misalignments
The real exchange rate (RER) misalignment is a key variable in academic and policy circles. Among policy circles, sustained RER overvaluations are observed by authorities for future exchange rate adjustments. In some cases with capital flows pouring into emerging markets, those countries have tried …

Variability of substrate utilization during exercise relative to VO2vt and VO2max
… (VE), respiratory gas-exchange ratio (RER), VO2, and VCO2 were measured continuously and heart rate and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were collected each minute. RESULTS: The mean overall variance of RER at the %VO2vt intensities was significantly less than at the %VO2max intensities …

Real Exchange Rate Dynamics in the New Member States of the EU – Run-up to the Euro
… of real convergence based on real exchange rate (RER) dynamics. As fluctuations in RER represent deviations from purchasing power parity (PPP), the thesis also adds to the literature on PPP theory. Finally, by proposing basic and extended small open economy dynamic stochastic general equilibrium …

The fundamental determinants of the South African real exchange rate from 1995 to 2014
… determinants of the real exchange rate (RER) for South Africa under a market driven floating exchange rate arrangement from March 1995 to December 2014. The research investigates the effects of the fundamental determinants of the RER on the South African rand using Johansen's method and a …

Examining Sex Differences in Substrate Utilization During Threshold-Based Exercise Prescription
… a lower steady-state respiratory exchange ratio (RER) in females. Differences in exercise response may be explained by differences in metabolic stress and muscle oxygenation linked to sex-based differences in lactate threshold (LT) and critical power (CP). Thus, the purpose of this thesis was to …

Tyrosine Sulfation in A431 Cells
… only is confined to Golgi but also can occur in RER. And, instead of a secretory protein this RER sulfotransferase is responsible for sulfation of an integral membrane protein. In order to characterize this RER enzyme and for the future to purify enzymes I established an in vitro assay method for …

Effect of a carbohydrate beverage on exercise performance in youth 7-17 years old
… differences in metabolic measures (VO2, VE, & RER) between the carbohydrate and water performance trials in youth and adults. A third aim was to examine changes in metabolic measures (VO2, VE, & RER) throughout a 60-minute cycle ride in youth. It was hypothesized that youth, like adults, would …

Determination of Repetitive Jumping Intensity Relative to Measured VO<sub>2max</sub>
… heart rate (HR), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and rating perceived exertion (RPE) were measured each minute during each trial. Results of this study indicated that steady state VO<sub>2</sub> during the 5 min jump test was reached at the 3rd min (p < .05), therefore we equated all other …

Combat aircraft mission tradeoff models for conceptual design evaluation
… Exchange Ratio (ER), Relative Exchange Ratio (RER), Possible Crew Loss (PCL), and Replacement Cost (RC). RER is felt to be the most useful MOE since it considers the initial inventory levels of both friendly and enemy forces, and its magnitude is easy for the analyst to relate to (an RER …

Estimation of stability reliability for determination of peak VO₂ in young adults on an inclined stepper and treadmill
… = 183 ± 10.0 bpm, V̇O₂max = 2.6 ± 0.6 L/min, RER = 1.27 ± 0.07, RPE = 17.1 ± 1.6. Mean values and SD for the treadmill were: HRmax = 193 ± 8.8 bpm, V̇O₂ max = 3.2 ± 0.8 L/min, RER = 1.15 ± 0.04, RPE = 17.8 ± 1.4. Construct validity showed that the percentage of tests that achieved maximal test …

Effect of lifewave patches on fat metabolism in moderately active women
… and mean exercise respiratory exchange ratio (RER) over 2 weeks. METHODS: Moderately active, nonsmoking, not pregnant or postpartum women were randomly assigned to an active or placebo group. Participants' BM, %BF, VO2 Peak, and mean RER at 60-70% VO2 peak were assessed on two separate sessions …

Applying life cycle assessment to analyze the environmental sustainability of public transit modes for the City of Toronto
… light rail transit (LRT), regional express rail (RER), or subway. This project uses data from life cycle assessment to develop a tool to measure energy requirements for different modes of transit, on a per passenger-kilometer basis. For each of the four transit modes listed, a range of energy …

Fat metabolism in the exercising thoroughbred horse
… by measurements of respiratory exchange ratio (RER). The inter-horse variability in RER was greatest during low intensity exercise. An increase in the contribution of carbohydrate to energy production occurred at the onset and during the early stages of prolonged exercise and as the result of an …

The effect of muscle glycogen status on control of substrate metabolism during exercise
… in a decrease in respiratory exchange ratio (RER). However, the metabolic response to glycogen depletion has generally been studied in overnight fasted subjects or in subjects who were already fatigued, or hypoglycaemic, or both, raising the question of whether the differences seen were due to …
