Exposure of magnesium oxide boards to various conditions for extended durations

Recovery of Foveal Acuity following Exposure to Various Intensities and Durations of Light.

Evaluation of Various Routing Architectures for Multi-FPGA Boards

Multi-FPGA boards are being used for logic emulation, rapid prototyping, custom computing and low volume subsystem implementation. A key feature which characterizes these boards is their routing architecture(RA). Inter-FPGA connections in an RA can be of two types, namely fixed connections through direct wires and programmable connections through intermediate Field-Programmable Interconnect Dev...

Heart-rate response to sympathetic nervous stimulation, exercise, and magnesium concentration in various sleep conditions.

The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanism of impaired exercise tolerance in chronic sleep-restricted conditions by investigating variables related to heart-rate (HR) response to sympathetic nervous stimulation. Sixteen healthy men (mean age 21.5 years) were tested in a control state, acute sleep-loss state, and chronic sleep-restricted state. Participants underwent cardiopulmonary exer...

Effect of Exposure to Various Durations of Light on Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Prepubertal Holstein Heifers

Our objective was to determine if prolonged exposure to various durations of light (i.e., photoperiod) would affect serum IGF-I concentrations in heifers. Thus, 16 Holstein heifers, 2 to 4 mo of age, were exposed during a 5-wk pretreatment period to 12 h of cool-white fluorescent light (L) at an intensity of 1200 lux and 12 h of dark (D). At 5 wk, photoperiods were adjusted to 24 L: 0 D (24 L),...
