BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aqua walking (AW) on coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiorespiratory fitness in older adults with osteoarthritis in the lower extremity and compare it with that of traditional over-ground walking. METHODS Sixty consecutive eligible patients who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention for CAD with limited ambulatio...

We study analytically the aging dynamics of the O(n) model in the limit of n → ∞, with conserved and with non-conserved order parameter. While in the non-conserved dynamics, the autocorrelation function scales in the usual way C(t, tw) = C(t/tw), in the case of a conserved order parameter, ‘multiscaling’ manifests itself in the form C(t, tw) = C(h(t)/h(tw)), with a relaxation time growing more ...

Travelling waves (TW) are among the most striking ecological phenomena emerging in oscillating populations. Despite much theory, understanding how real-world TW arise remains a challenge for ecology. Herein, we analyse 16-year time series of cyclic vole populations collected at 314 localities covering 2500 km² in France. We found evidence for a linear front TW spreading at a speed of 7.4 km yea...

The relevance of the Tremaine-Weinberg (TW) method is tested to measure the bar, spiral and inner structure pattern speeds using a gaseous velocity field. The TW method is applied to

We present some simple computer simulations that indicate that at short time aging is realized in a simple model of binary glasses. It is interesting to note that modest computer simulations are enough to evidenziate this effect. We also find indications of a dynamically growing correlation length. Aging has been discovered long time ago and it is has been experimentally studied in great detail...

The semilattice relevant logics ∪R, ∪T, ∪RW, and ∪TW (slightly different from the orthodox relevant logics R, T, RW, and TW) are defined by “semilattice models” in which conjunction and disjunction are interpreted in a natural way. In this paper, we prove the equivalence between “LK-style” and “LJ-style” labelled sequent calculi for these logics. (LKstyle sequents have plural succedents, while ...

Investigation of asymptotic properties of a statistical estimator or of a testing statistic often leads to a linear transformation of a Wiener process that born a Wiener process or a Brownian bridge. Let us recall some typical examples of such transformations. Provided a Wiener process (W(t) , £ > 0) the processes (^W(a • t) ,t > 0), a T-: 0 and (tW(\) , £ > 0) are Wiener processes and (W(t) tW...

This study aimed to document the effects of an eight hour journey on behavioural, clinical, haematological, environmental and respiratory parameters, and to identify possible associations between factors. Twelve horses underwent clinical examination, respiratory endoscopy with tracheal wash (TW) aspiration, and collection of venous and arterial blood before (BJ) and after the journey (AJ). TW w...

The Bcl-2 family of proteins is critical to the life and death of malignant B-lymphocytes. Interfering with their activity using small-molecule inhibitors (SMI) is being explored as a new therapeutic strategy for treating B-cell tumors. We evaluated the efficacy of TW-37, a non-peptidic SMI of Bcl-2 against a range spectrum of human B-cell lines, fresh patient samples and animal xenograft model...
