Resting places
Ancient humans stored family remains under their houses as we have surely stored memories in our attics. As civilization progressed, ashes were placed in urns which often replicated the house where one lived on earth. Eventually more elaborate and stylized monuments housed the remains. Recent …

Mandibular Resting Posture : An Electromyographic Evaluation
<p>Mandibular resting posture is the positional expression of cranial-facial morphology and the myotatic reflex of its contiguous musculature.</p> <p>Alteration of sensory input to the main sensory, mesencephalic and motor nucleus of the Fifth nerve in a myotalic reflex system, theoretically should …

Effects of Resting State On Perceptual Learning
<p>Psychophysical experiments in humans have demonstrated that improvements in perceptual learning tasks occur following daytime rests. The neural correlates of how rest influences subsequent sensory processing during these tasks remain unclear. One possible neural mechanism that may underlie this …

Reliability of resting brain networks using FMRI
Resting state FMRI studies on human subjects are primarily focused on elaborating effects of resting state brain networks on task induced paradigm and to check consistency of these networks between different groups of populations. Recent studies have shown consistency of RSFC networks within same …

Effect of scan time on resting state parameters
… low-frequency fluctuations (LFF) in a resting-state brain has steadily grown. By measuring LFF (< 0.08 Hz) in blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signals, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) has proven to be a powerful tool in exploring brain network …

Recruitment from resting stages among bloom-forming cyanobacteria
… in eutrophicated freshwaters and also form resting stages, associated with the sediments, during harsh growth conditions. These resting stages can serve as inoculum for pelagic populations and function as a potential source for bloom formations. However, the factors involved in initiating …

Soundscape Ecology of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin Resting Bays
… loggers in four Hawaiian spinner dolphin resting bays on the Kona Coast of Hawai‛i Island. 30-second recordings were made every four minutes in each of the bays for 20 to 27 months between January 8, 2011 and March 30, 2013. I also utilized concomitant vessel-based visual surveys in the …

Prediction of Non-Resting Energy Expenditure using Accelerometry
… along with validated prediction equations for resting energy requirements, may provide an opportunity to fill this void. Twenty weight stable adults (12 female, 8 male) who recently participated in a controlled feeding study comprised the study sample. Total energy requirements were assessed …

The day-to-day reliability of resting metabolic rate
… was to determine the day-to-day reliability of resting metabolic rate. 18 college students, (mean age 22 +/- 3.6 yrs, height 65.78 +/- 22.0 in., body mass 68.05 +/- 10.34 kg, percent body fat 23 +/- 6.5%) gave informed consent to participate in the study. RMR was measured on four separate days …

The Role of Aerobic Glycolysis in the Resting Human Brain
… has been overlooked, though its presence in the resting brain has been known for several decades. In this thesis, we investigate three aspects of resting aerobic glycolysis using positron emission tomography. First, we characterize the regional distribution of aerobic glycolysis in the awake, …

Longitudinal Changes in Resting-State Connectivity after Traumatic Axonal Injury
… connectivity and neurocognitive outcome. Resting-state fMRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scans were acquired from 21 patients with moderate-severe brain injuries consistent with TAI compared with 8 non-injured controls. Neurocognitive outcome was assessed at 7 months. Results …

The Effect of Moderate Physical Activity on Resting Fat Oxidation
… (following the CDC/ACSM recommendation) on the resting level of fat oxidation. It was hypothesized that a 30-minute treadmill walk at 50% VO 2peak performed in late afternoon would not increase fat oxidation the following morning (12 hours after the end of the treadmill walk). It was also …

Resting State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Alterations In Psychosis Spectrum Disorders
The general metadata -- e.g., title, author, abstract, subject headings, etc. -- is publicly available, but access to the submitted files is restricted to UT Southwestern campus access and/or authorized UT Southwestern users.

Test-Retest Reliability of Coherence Measures of Qeeg During Resting State
… reliability of qEEG coherence during a resting state for 40 typically developing students at the University of South Carolina. Results indicated that coherence has moderate to high reliability across all bands and areas of the brain. Additionally, results were consistent with previous …

Toward model compounds for the resting cytochrome c oxidase active site
… active-site structure of resting cytochrome c oxidase. The model compounds have been derived from (M$\sp{\rm II}$(TPP)) (M = Co or Mn) and (M$\sp{\rm II}$(imidH)$\sb2$DAP) $\sp{2+}$ (M = Zn or Cu) to form binuclear compounds with (M(imid)M$\sp{\prime\prime}$) centers. A …

Resting-state Functional Connectivity Correlates of Inhibitory Control over Emotional Stimuli
… anti-saccade task, therefore with the use of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and an emotional anti-saccade task, this study aims to identify the neural correlates of inhibitory control over emotional stimuli. The anti-saccade task is known as an effective measure of …

Comparison between different techniques of preprocessing for resting state fMRI analysis
Resting state functional connectivity as the name suggests is defined as significant temporal correlation between spatially distinct regions of the brain during rest. In this thesis, fMRI resting state dataset was analyzed using different available processing techniques with the same fMRI data to …

Blood Lactate Predicts Resting Energy Expenditure in Non-Obese Caucasian Females
… being limited, we believed it would reduce the resting energy expenditure (REE), and potentially propel an individual toward obesity and related metabolic disease(s). Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate if plasma lactate can be used to predict resting energy expenditure in …

Evaluation of resting energy expenditure in sarcoma patients with localized disease
Increased resting energy expenditure has been postulated to be one of the contributory factors in the development of cancer cachexia. Body composition and resting energy expenditure were evaluated in six male and seven female normal controls in order to validate methodology. Identical methods were …
