It has been suggested that a prior bout of high-intensity exercise has the potential to enhance performance during subsequent high-intensity exercise by accelerating the O(2) uptake (Vo(2)) on-response. However, the optimal combination of prior exercise intensity and subsequent recovery duration required to elicit this effect is presently unclear. Eight male participants, aged 18-24 yr, complet...

In traditional IT environment, there is a constant pressure of cost reduction. Unpredictable demands, rapid changes in technologies, complex IT portfolios and acquisitions, increased business competition, and revenue demands are the main factors which have compelled organizations to look for better alternatives. There is little automation and considerable amount of effort goes into resource pro...

We report on progress and future plans for calculating kaon weak matrix elements for ǫ ′ /ǫ using staggered fermions. The first goal of this project is to provide a check of the results (ǫ ′ /ǫ < 0) obtained using quenched Domain Wall fermions (DWF) by the CP-PACS [1] and RBC [2] collaborations. The second goal is to extend the work to dynamical simulations, since quenching is likely one of the...

BACKGROUND the six minute walking distance test (6MWD) is widely used to evaluate exercise capacity in several diseases due to its simplicity and low cost. AIM to establish reference values for 6MWD in healthy Chilean individuals. MATERIAL AND METHODS we studied 175 healthy volunteers aged 20-80 years (98 women) with normal spirometry and without history of respiratory, cardiovascular or ot...

The purpose of this study was to investigate oral flora in independent persons aged over 80 years with more than 20 remaining teeth. The subjects were 22 participants of the 8020 campaign (6 males and 16 females) with a mean age of 81.3+/-1.6 years and an average of 24.7 teeth (Independent 8020 group). This group was compared with a group of 38 elderly people residing in nursing homes (10 males...

When learning a dependence from data, to avoid overfitting, it is important to divide the data into the training set and the testing set. We first train our model on the training set, and then we use the data from the testing set to gauge the accuracy of the resulting model. Empirical studies show that the best results are obtained if we use 20-30% of the data for testing, and the remaining 70-...

Atomic resolution in transmission electron microscopy of thin and light-atom materials requires a rigorous reduction of the beam energy to reduce knockon damage. However, at the same time, the chromatic aberration deteriorates the resolution of the TEM image dramatically. Within the framework of the SALVE project, we introduce a newly developed C_{c}/C_{s} corrector that is capable of correctin...
