The Impact of a Behavioral Intervention on Parent Sleep Hygiene Behaviors
… to three months. Methods: Linear regressions applying the Difference in Differences (DiD) model were conducted to examine whether differences between groups existed due to the intervention beyond the passing of time for child media use and parent sleep inducement strategy use. Results: Two sleep …

Management of Katahdin Hair Sheep
… however, walking rapidly, running, or lying down did not differ . A time effect was detected for vocalizing and lying down. A treatment × time interaction tendency was observed for standing. Utilizing rotational grazing with Katahdin ewes may increase lambing rates and frequency of …

The Effects of Dry Sow Housing Conditions on Welfare at Farrowing
… of stall-housed sows to lameness. When lying down, stall-housed sows had greater difficulty and took longer than group-housed sows. The times taken for stall sows to lie down and to stand up quickly were positively correlated with body length. For group-housed sows lying down in the …

Behavioral assessment of the time course and relative intensity of acute lithium chloride toxicosis in adult and weanling rats
… significant results correlated most highly with lying down in the open-field and numerically but not statistically indicated that weanlings exhibit an earlier but less intense effect of LiCl injection relative to adults. Overall the behavioral effects of LiCl were strongest from 8 to 28 minutes …

Cattle behavioral responses following castration and dehorning measured by accelerometers.
… dehorned. All treatment groups spent more time lying down and less time walking in the post-surgery than pre-surgery, and significant interactions were found between treatment and time relative to surgery (P<0.05). The second study evaluated behavioral changes following castration and dehorning …

String Quartet I
… at first, and over time gives way to a steady downpour. The pizzicato timbre is paired with a simple tonal theme in a back-and-forth dance with bowed 12-tone counterpoint. A long coda features harmonic parallelism in the upper three voices over a pizzicato cello drone. Movement III, "Driftwood …

Behavior and Physiological Responses of Livestock Under Different Grazing Systems
… hours standing and 0.9 fewer (P = 0.0402) hours lying down compared to heifers that grazed NE tall fescue. These results suggest that heat stress and other physiological changes in heifers grazing WE tall fescue could be mitigated by renovating pastures with NE tall fescue that does not impose …

The Influence of Posture on Pelvic Floor Muscle Activation and Sensory Awareness in Women With and Without Stress Urinary Incontinence
… activation recorded in standing compared to lying. Changing positions influenced PFM activation and awareness, although the impact of position was inconsistent among the positions and groups. Those with SUI rated their sensory awareness lower than continent women; women with mild symptoms …

Development and evaluation of tools and methodologies for estimating behaviour and predicting training outcome of working dogs
… and five postures (walking, standing, sitting, lying down and body shake) were annotated. Advanced machine learning techniques were applied for the first time in this field to improve state-of-the-art posture prediction performance. Results: (1) The machine learning models achieved an area under …

Modeling the self-assembly of functionalized fullerenes on solid surfaces using Monte Carlo simulations
… study the competing "standing-up" and "lying-down" morphologies, we use Monte Carlo simulations in conjunction with replica exchange and force field biasing methods. For clusters adsorbed to smooth model surfaces, we determine free energy landscapes and demonstrate their utility for …

Designing surface chemistries for in situ AFM investigations of biomolecular reactions with proteins at the nanoscale
… of dithiols inhibits the phase transition from a lying-down to a standing orientation during natural self-assembly. Another method for producing protein nanostructures is particle lithography. Monodisperse mesospheres can be applied to rapidly prepare millions of exquisitely uniform …

Requirements for the detection of atherosclerosis lesions in carotid arteries with SPECT
… increased by 1.6-2.9 times when the patient was lying down as opposed to sitting up. At this blood activity, a carotid dilation of 1 cm radius distracted the moving Matched Filter from lesion detection. We recommend that the blood activity be as low as possible to avoid any focal dilation from …

Development of a Healthcare Software System for the Elderly

Lamb performance, behavior, and body temperatures in hardwood silvopasture systems
… 1 ). Lambs in silvopastures spent more time lying down than animals in the open pastures (P ≤ 0.01), while lambs in the open spent more than two hours longer each day standing (P < 0.0001). During the hottest part of the day, ewes in the open pasture were 0.4 °C hotter than ewes in the black …

Design, Validation, and Clinical Testing of a Novel Fastening Device for a Scoliosis Brace
… due to a loss of strap tension activities of lying down. The overall goals were to develop a novel fastening device, or controlled tension unit (CTU), for a scoliosis brace that allowed the user to set the strap tension to the prescribed value as determined by the orthotist at the time of …
