Lactation alters maternal metabolism and increases food intake in rats to support milk production. Pancreatic lipase (PL) is primarily responsible for fat digestion in adults and is regulated by dietary fat. The present research determined the regulation of PL by lactation and dietary fat. In Expt 1, eighteen Sprague-Dawley dams and twelve age-matched virgins (controls) were fed a low-fat diet ...

Healthy subjects under rhythmic breathing have heart interbeat intervals with a respiratory band in the frequency domain that can be an index of vagal activity. Diabetes Mellitus Type II (DM) affects the autonomic nervous system of patients, thus it can be expected changes on the vagal activity. Here, the influence of DM on the breathing modulation of the heart rate is evaluated by analyzing in...

Review and classification of electric load forecasting (LF) techniques based on artificial neuralnetworks (ANN) is presented. A basic ANNs architectures used in LF reviewed. A wide range of ANNoriented applications for forecasting are given in the literature. These are classified into five groups:(1) ANNs in short-term LF, (2) ANNs in mid-term LF, (3) ANNs in long-term LF, (4) Hybrid ANNs inLF,...

For interpreting the process of visually induced motion sickness, we propose a time-varying factors model that consists of trigger and accumulation factors with different time-scales. As validation experiments, fifteen subjects viewed a 2-min-long first-person-view video image session five times (total 10-min) continuously. Measured biosignals were the RR interval, respiration, and blood pressu...

Because of the approximate linear relationship between muscle force and muscle activity, muscle forces are often estimated during maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs) from torque and surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements. However, sEMG recordings from a target muscle may contain cross-talk originating from nearby muscles, which could lead to erroneous force estimates. Here we...

The present study evaluates the influence of different amounts of fat added to starch on postprandial glucose metabolism (exogenous and endogenous). Nine women (24 (se 2) years old, BMI 20.4 (se 0.7) kg/m(2)) ingested 1 week apart 75 g glucose equivalent of (13)C-labelled starch in the form of pasta without (low fat; LF) or with 15 (medium fat; MF) or 40 (high fat; HF) g sunflower oil. During t...

We used our previously implemented GW approximation (GWA) based on the all-electron full-potential projector augmented wave (PAW) method to study the optical properties of small, medium and large-band-gap semiconductors: The aim being to study the size of both local-field (LF) and the quasi-particle (QP) corrections to the calculated dielectric function obtained using the local density approxim...

Abstract. Longitudinal haemodynamic force (LF) acting on a bifurcated stent-graft has been estimated previously using a mathematical model which assumes steady flow of an invisid fluid. An experimental method was developed, using an instrumented stent-graft model, to measure LF under human physiological and pathological blood flow conditions. The physical stent-graft model, with main trunk diam...
