This study aimed to compare two different maximal incremental tests with different time durations [a maximal incremental ramp test with a short time duration (8-12 min) (STest) and a maximal incremental test with a longer time duration (20-25 min) (LTest)] to investigate whether an LTest accurately assesses aerobic fitness in class II and III obese men. Twenty obese men (BMI≥35 kg.m-2) without ...

Mobile phone text messaging is a potentially powerful tool for behavior change because it is widely available, inexpensive, and instant. This systematic review provides an overview of behavior change interventions for disease management and prevention delivered through text messaging. Evidence on behavior change and clinical outcomes was compiled from randomized or quasi-experimental controlled...

The expressive power of regularity-preserving multi bottomup tree transducers (mbot) is investigated. These mbot have very attractive theoretical and algorithmic properties. However, their expressive power is not well understood. It is proved that despite the restriction their power still exceeds that of composition chains of linear extended top-down tree transducers with regular look-ahead (xt...

Invited Abstract Mani Vadari Modem Grid Solutions Of late, microgrids are getting a lot of attention, not just to support national security at military bases, but also to provide more resilient power supplies at other types of facilities, to allow for increased penetration of renewables, and other reasons. College campuses, military bases, and even corporate campuses are exploring microgrid opt...

The expressive power of regularity-preserving ε-free weighted linear multi bottom-up tree transducers is investigated. These models have very attractive theoretical and algorithmic properties, but their expressive power is not well understood especially in the weighted setting. It is proved that despite the restriction to preserve regularity their power still exceeds that of composition chains ...
