Massive multiple-input multiple-output (massive-MIMO) is foreseen as a potential technology for future 5G cellular communication networks due to its substantial benefits in terms of increased spectral and energy efficiency. These advantages of massive-MIMO are a consequence of equipping the base station (BS) with quite a large number of antenna elements, thus resulting in an aggressive spatial ...

Human contact in the shelter may lessen effects of change in environment and smooth transition into a home. Training can increase a dog's interaction with people in a shelter environment. Experiments were conducted to determine how rapidly shelter dogs learn to sit, if the dogs can retain sitting behavior over time, and if sitting transfers to novel locations and people. Two experiments trained...

this study investigated the influence of inoculation with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (amf), glomus mosseae (nicol & gerd.) on growth and antioxidant enzyme activities (sod, cat, gupx) in shoots and roots of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) affected by three different levels of salt stress. the experiment was arranged as a factorial in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replicat...

Astronauts operate in an environment with multiple hazards that can develop into life-threatening emergency situations. Managing stress emergencies may require cognitive resources and lead to diminishing performance. Stress training aims maintain performance under by methodically increasing stressor levels build inoculation against stress. An adaptive virtual reality (VR) system was developed r...

We and others have recently reported that prolonged sitting impairs endothelial function in the leg vasculature; however, the mechanism(s) remain unknown. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that a sustained reduction in flow-induced shear stress is the underlying mechanism by which sitting induces leg endothelial dysfunction. Specifically, we examined whether preventing the reduction in shear str...

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of stress inoculation on laboratory markers such as heart rate variability and salivary cortisol and clinical outcomes (anxiety, stress and depression) of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.  Methods & Materials: The research is a semi experimental study with the pre, post-test and experimental and control groups. The...

This study examined changes in LRP130 gene and protein expression in response to an acute bout of sprint-interval training (SIT) and 6 weeks of SIT in human skeletal muscle. In addition, we investigated the relationships between changes in LRP130, SIRT3, and PGC-1α gene or protein expression. Fourteen recreationally active men (age: 22.0 ± 2.4 years) performed a single bout of SIT (eight, 20-se...

Parra et al. (Acta Physiol. Scand 169: 157-165, 2000) showed that 2 wk of daily sprint interval training (SIT) increased citrate synthase (CS) maximal activity but did not change "anaerobic" work capacity, possibly because of chronic fatigue induced by daily training. The effect of fewer SIT sessions on muscle oxidative potential is unknown, and aside from changes in peak oxygen uptake (Vo(2 pe...
