PURPOSE This study was designed to examine the effects of moderate-intensity endurance exercise on cycling performance, gross efficiency, and 30-s sprint power output. METHODS Two separate experiments were conducted. After a controlled warm-up, subjects completed as much work as possible in a 5-min performance test (EXP1) or a maximal 30-s sprint test (EXP2). These initial exercise bouts were...

After ten weeks of preparation, Team Pasadena defeated Team Ithaca in two of the three final games. This paper provides the detailed results of the ...

BACKGROUND The long-term effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on factual knowledge is poorly investigated. We took advantage of a previous randomised comparison between PBL and traditional teaching in a 3rd year course to follow up factual knowledge of the students during their 4th and 5th year of medical school training. METHODS 3rd year medical students were initially randomized to partic...

This year, we participated in TRECVID 2010 content-based copy detection task. In this notebook paper we will describe our work in details. Different from last year when we just used SURF (speeded up robust feature) as visual feature, this year we employed a combination of four different features for our rough detection process: global SURF, center SURR, global color correlogram and center corre...

Dieser Beitrag präsentiert DIAL (Distributed InterActive Lecture), ein BigBlueButtonbasiertes System für interaktive Live-Übertragungen von Vorlesungen. DIAL erweitert das Konferenzsystem BigBlueButton derart, dass Studierenden Zugang zum Chatund Umfragesystem aus dem Stand-By ihres Endgerätes heraus ermöglicht wird, d.h. ohne die Notwendigkeit einer permanenten Verbindung. Damit ermöglicht DIA...

Since the discovery of EEG almost 150 years ago, it remains a valuable tool in the work-up of suspected epilepsy. However, EEG is not without its limitations and an understanding of the indications and how to interpret the findings are essential to avoid over-reliance on an investigation which can lead to misdiagnosis if inappropriately used. We conducted a survey of NCHDs to assess their level...
