Heart rate deflection point (HRDP) can be determined through different mathematical-modeling procedures, such as bi-segmental linear regression (2SEG) or maximal distance model (Dmax). The purpose was to compare heart rate (HR) and oxygen consumption (VO2) at HRDP when using 2SEG and Dmax, and to examine their relationships with respiratory compensation point (RCP) and running performance. Nine...

Rate based transport protocol determines the rate of data transmission between the sender and receiver and then sends the data according to that rate. To notify the rate to the sender, the receiver sends ACK+Rate packet based on epoch timer expiry. In this paper, through detailed arguments and simulation it is shown that the transmission of ACK+Rate packet based on epoch timer expiry consumes m...

Pseudomonas putida CA-3 is capable of consuming a number of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. With the exception of styrene none of the alkenes tested are capable of supporting the growth of P. putida CA-3 as sole sources of carbon and energy. The highest rate of alkene consumption was observed with styrene as the substrate. A 6.5- and 15.5-fold lower rate of substrate consumption was observ...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of chronic stress exposure on the circadian pattern of cardiovascular responses in mice. Using male C57BL6 mice with carotid arterial catheters, we tested the effect of 7 days of intermittent shaker stress on body weight, food intake, drinking activity, plasma corticosterone, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate. The stress was del...

1. The rates of growth and of oxygen consumption by cells of E. coli have been measured under identical conditions, and the effects of sulfathiazole (ST) and of n-propyl carbamate (PC) on these two processes have been compared. 2. The rate of growth was measured by (a) the increase in the viable cell count, (b) the increase in the optical density of the culture, (c) the increase in the rate of ...

in this study, the possibility of producing coal with less than 11% ash from tailings of flotation process was investigated. the effect of six flotation parameters: collector type, collector consumption, frother type, frother consumption, pulp density and mixing rate were studied on a sample from a tailing dam. a software based experimental design approach (dx7) was applied to determine and mod...

the present research applies the information of major plans for predicting drug consumption in 1991/1992 as well as the data of census in 1990 to evaluate this assumption that “ some arrestees’ sturctural weakness-related factors” contribute in using cocaine and other opiates. this research which applies non-linear modelling techniques، reviews the effectivity of the social control factors as w...

in this study it has been tried, to compare results and convergence rate of sensitivity analysis and conjugate gradient algorithms to reduce fuel consumption and increasing engine performance by optimizing the timing of opening and closing valves in xu7/l3 engine. in this study, considering the strength and accuracy of simulation gt-power software in researches on the internal combustion engine...
