Nasal and oral exclusive breathing modes have benefits and drawbacks during submaximal exercise. It is unknown whether these responses would extend to anaerobic work performed at high intensity. Nine individuals (males N = 7, females N = 2) performed a standard Wingate Anaerobic cycle test on a cycle ergometer under nose (N) and mouth (M) only respiratory conditions, performed in a counterbalan...

BACKGROUND Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) levels are very low in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and it is used as a screening test. METHODS We assessed the reliability and usability of a hand-held analyser in comparison to a stationary nitric oxide (NO) analyser in 50 participants (15 healthy, 13 PCD, 22 other respiratory diseases; age 6-79 years). Nasal NO was measured using a stationary NO anal...

Current software implementations of current cryptographic algorithms are orders of magnitude slower than required to secure a gigabit network. This paper examines three different approaches to improving the performance of cryptographic software: new algorithm design, parallelization, and algorithm independent hardware support. We believe that in combination these approaches could go a long way ...

PURPOSE To propose a method for reducing the radiation dose in cerebral CT perfusion studies by using a variable scan schedule. MATERIALS AND METHODS Original images were obtained with a multi detector-row CT (MDCT) scanner using the following CT perfusion protocol: continuous scans of 1 sec/rotation x 60 sec, four 5-mm-thick contiguous slices. The original images were thinned-out using combi...

Leuwikeris Dam was built in the Citanduy Watershed which is a cross-provincial river area (West Java and Central Provinces). Utilization of as provider irrigation water getting more attention due to unstable supply, while farmers need large amounts water. Another benefit that can be felt by community source raw with capacity 845 l/second for Banjar City, Tasikmalaya Regency, Ciamis Regency. Thi...

This research was conducted by utilizing seawater around mangrove forests, namely multi-functional areas in education. One of the objects electrolysis to determine content hydrogen gas is one renewable energy that has many advantages compared other energy. simple method produce whose source unlimited. The this study uses direct electric current or DC (Power Supply) and with an electrolyte volum...

The purpose of this study was to examine gender differences in repeated sprint exercise (RSE) performance among male and female athletes matched for VO2max relative to FFM (VO2max FFM). Thirty nine male and female college athletes performed a graded exercise test for VO2max and hydrostatic weighing to determine FFM. From the results, 11 pairs of males and females matched for VO2max FFM (mean ± ...
