The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of high altitude (HA) on work of breathing and external work capacity. On the basis of simultaneous records of esophageal pressure and lung volume, the mechanical power of breathing (Wrs) was measured in four normal subjects during exercise at sea level (SL) and after a 1-mo sojourn at 5,050 m. Maximal exercise ventilation (VEmax) and maximal W...

We have measured anogenital distance (AGD) in 300 newborns delivered in Zubeyde Hanim Maternity Hospital in 2007. As in the study by Ozkan et al (1), we also used a sliding caliper for the measurements; however, in the manuscript by Ozkan et al (1), it was mentioned as tape, which needs correction. The results of both Dr Ozkan’s study and ours seem similar. We could not give the results of meas...

One of the major sources of emission of green house gases (GHGs) is biomass burning. Thus the space-based observations of global distribution of fire form a key component of climate change studies. Several international programs have been established towards the goal of gaining complete information on fire activity around the world using space based observations. This study mainly highlights th...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of evaporation and condensation on the underfloor space of Japanese detached houses. In this underfloor space, natural ventilation is applied. A typical Japanese wooden detached house is raised 0.3–0.5 m over an underfloor space made of concrete. The bottom of the underfloor space is usually paved with concrete, and the ceiling whi...

Recent results from the study of the two-loop three-gluon and ghost-gluon vertices are reviewed. The relevant Ward–Slavnov–Taylor (WST) identities and Renormalization Group (RG) quantities are discussed. Talk presented by A. D. at the Workshop on Exact Renormalization Group (Faro, Portugal, September 1998). To be published in the proccedings (World Scientific). [email protected] . ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between habitual physical activity (HPA) during life and bone mineral density (BMD) in men aged 50 years and older. METHODS A total of 326 men aged 50 years and older, volunteers living in São Paulo city, Brazil, were studied. BMD was measured in the whole body, femoral neck, Ward's triangle, trochanter, and lumbar spine (L2-L...

the effect of a selected autochthonous starter culture made up by streptococcus thermophilus, lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis and lactobacillus helveticus on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of pecorino romano cheese during ripening was investigated. the suitability of the experimental starter culture was tested at industrial scales in cheese-making trials of pecor...

BACKGROUND In hospitals and other healthcare institutions drugs are routinely stored in designated satellite areas on the wards. Often ad hoc decisions are made by clinicians and nurses regarding drug type and quantity to be stored. As a result the number of different drugs and drug packages in storage tends to increase, which may lead to inefficient drug handling and become a potential risk fa...
