46 people participated in the study. The participants were randomly divided into 3 groups as Above Threshold, Under Threshold and Control according to sensation of electrical current on ears. evaluated times; before application, after first second bicycle exercises. Numerical pain scale, pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory distance travelled during exercise for cycle ergometer test.

We present an efficient protocol for secure multi-party computation in the asynchronous model with optimal resilience. For n parties, up to t < n/3 of them being corrupted, and security parameter κ, a circuit with c gates can be securely computed with communication complexityO(cnκ) bits, which improves on the previously known solutions by a factor of Ω(n). The construction of the protocol follo...

AbstrAct: Cycle-correlated variation in olfactory threshold, with women becoming more sensitive to odors mid-cycle, is somewhat supported by the literature but the evidence is not entirely consistent, with several studies finding no, or mixed, effects. It has been argued that cyclic shifts in olfactory threshold might be limited to odors relevant to the mating context. We aimed to test whether ...

The purpose was to determine if heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) responses would reflect anaerobic threshold (AT) using a discontinuous, incremental, cycle test. AT was determined by ventilatory threshold (VT). Cyclists (30.6±5.9y; 7 males, 8 females) completed a discontinuous cycle test consisting of 7 stages (6 min each with 3 min of rest between). Three stages were performed ...

Objectives: It is currently unclear whether SARS-CoV-2 Cycle threshold (Ct) values could be leveraged to guide patients’ clinical manifestations and management decisions. The present study was undertaken observe RT-PCR Ct differ in COVID-19 symptomatic asymptomatic individuals. This also describes the epidemiological characteristics of both groups patients. Methods: Nasopharyngeal or oropharyng...

Power dissipation is rapidly becoming a major design concern for companies in the high-end microprocessor market. The problem now is that designers are reaching the limits of circuit and mechanical techniques for reducing power dissipation. Hence, we must turn our attention to architectural approaches to solving this problem. In this work we propose a method of instruction scheduling which limi...

A class of shift-variant reduction operations is introduced, that is useful for performing efficient and controllable shape and texture transformations between resolution levels. In their most general form, the operations proceed in three steps: (a) convolve a binary image with a kernel of arbitrary size; (b) threshold the result; (c) subsample to produce the reduced image. Taking a binary stru...
