Physically active video gaming (AVG) provides a technologically-modern, convenient means of increasing physical activity (PA). This study examined cardiovascular, metabolic, and perceptual responses in young adult (AP) and older adult (OP) participants engaging in Wii FitTM AVG play, and compared PA levels during play to recommended PA levels. Heart rate (HR), percent heart rate reserve (%HRR),...

This study was aimed at studying the effect of yoga package (YP) with some selected asanas, Pranayama, Cleansing Practices, and Meditation on pain intensity, Inflammation, Stiffness, Pulse Rate(PR), Blood Pressure(BP), Lymphocyte Count( LC), Creactive protein(CRP), and Uric Acid(UA) level among subjects of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Two Randomized Group Design was employed for pre and post obse...

BACKGROUND Sporadic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare in young adults. In the present retrospective study we reviewed clinicopathological features and disease specific survival rates in young patients (<= 45 years) with RCC and compared them to old patients (>= 75 years) with RCC. METHODS Between 1992 and 2005 a total of 1042 patients were treated for RCC at our institution. We found 70 pati...

The yield potential (Yp) of a grain crop is the seed mass per unit ground area obtained under optimum growing conditions without weeds, pests and diseases. It is determined by the product of the available light energy and by the genetically determined properties: efficiency of light capture (epsilon i), the efficiency of conversion of the intercepted light into biomass (epsilon c) and the propo...

1. Preliminaries. In [ l ] the structure of the weakly complex bordism of 1 connected semisimple Lie groups was studied via the Milnor, Eilenberg-Moore, Rothenberg-Steenrod sequence. See [l] for notation. In this paper we amplify the Adams spectral sequence [2], [3], [4] and relate this tool to the weakly complex cobordism theory. The techniques apply to any finite CW complex. In particular we ...

This paper describes a new determination of the primordial helium abundance (YP ), based on the abundance analysis of five metal-poor extragalactic H ii regions. For three regions of the sample (SBS 0335–052, I Zw 18, and H 29) we present tailored photoionization models based on improved calculations with respect to previous models. In particular, we use the photoionization models to study quan...

The authors have grown metamorphic InyGa1−yP on optimized GaAsxP1−x /GaAs graded buffers via solid source molecular beam epitaxy MBE for multijunction solar cell applications. In this work, the authors show that a previously developed kinetic growth model can be used to predict the composition of mixed anion GaAsxP1−x alloys on GaAs as a function of substrate temperature and group-V flux. The a...

ed actuation: Inflation by force in normal direction Actuation location: applied to membrane Actuation type: PZ (force in local z-direction) Support condition: 1 x Fixed support (YP = PX + PZ) 1 x Pinned support (PP = PX + PY + PZ)

Forest water use efficiency (WUE), the ratio of gross primary productivity (GPP) to evapotranspiration (ET), is an important variable understand coupling between and carbon cycles, assess resource use, ecosystem resilience, commodity production. Here, we determined WUE for managed loblolly pine plantations over course a rotation on coastal plain North Carolina in eastern U.S. We found that fore...
