ATP repletion following exhaustive exercise is approximated to be 90-95% complete in 3 minutes, and is crucial in the performance of short duration, high intensity work. Few studies appear to have used this 3-minute interval in the investigation of recovery modes, blood lactate accumulation and power output. Thus, our aim was to investigate changes in peak power (PP), average power (AP) and blo...

This article details how to control light emitting diodes (LEDs) using an ordinary desktop computer. By combining digitally addressable LEDs with an off-the-shelf microcontroller (Arduino), multiple LEDs can be controlled independently and with a high degree of temporal, chromatic, and luminance precision. The proposed solution is safe (can be powered by a 5-V battery), tested (has been used in...

We define a bidireccional bottom-up parser for Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAG). This parser is a mixture of a defined bidireccional bottom-up parser for TAG and a new parser for Tree Insertion Grammars (TIG) that we present here. We show that the new mixed parser for TAG presents a significative reduction of the theoretical complexity.

InGaAs MOSFETs have been considered promising candidate for post-Si logic devices beyond 14nm technology node. To meet the increasing demand in electrostatic control at sub-100nm channel lengths, non-planar 3D structures have been introduced to the fabrication of InGaAs MOSFETs. In this paper, the fabrication and characterization of various non-planar 3D InGaAs MOSFETs have been demonstrated an...

background: this study is the first research investigating the possible effect of pulsed power signals on the characteristics of cortical bone by comparing the mechanical properties of this type of bone pre and post expose to pulsed power. methods: a positive buck-boost converter was applied to generate adjustable high voltage, high frequency pulses (up to 500 v and 10 khz). the functional beha...

We investigated thoracic temperatures (Tth) during different activities of the endothermic fruit beetle Pachnoda sinuata and analysed which energy substrates are used for the pre-flight warm-up of its flight muscles. Pachnoda sinuata elevates its Tth prior to take-off either by basking in the sun or by warming endothermically to a narrow range around 34 degreesC. During lift-generating tethered...

Este trabalho propõe uma integração da abordagem CREWS L’ecritoire baseado em cenários com a abordagem de casos de usos descrita por Regnell et al e o Método GBRAM baseado em objetivos. Dessa forma são adicionados ao trabalho de Regnell et al a noção de pedaço de requerimento (RC), as estratégias de descoberta do objetivo através dos relacionamentos AND, OR e de refinamento entre RCs, além de e...

Conceptual design of a waste heat recovery cycle is carried out in attempt to enhance the thermal efficiency of a steam power plant. In the recovery system, super-critical an CO2 is employed as the working fluid operating in a Brayton cycle. Low grade heat rejected by the flue gases through the stack is used as the primary heat source, while a secondary heat exchanger utilizes th...
