This work presents a fast exhaustive robust matching technique for aligning translated images. The key idea is to express a robust matching surface function in terms of correlation operations. Speed is obtained from computing correlations in the frequency domain. Different sized images and arbitrary shapes may be matched. The method outputs a matching surface representing the quality of match a...

Purpose: To investigate the effects of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) on exhaustive activity and physiological parameters of fatigue in conscripts. Materials and Methods: Thirty conscripts did Wingate test in two groups: sodium bicarbonate group (treatment) and placebo (control) group. In both groups, sodium bicarbonate (0.3 g/kg of body mass) or placebo was ingested 60 minutes before the t...

This study aims to assess the effects of Achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides (ABPS) on the expression of bcl-2 and bax in hepatic tissues after exhaustive exercise in order to provide theoretical support for the application of ABPS in the field of sports nutrition. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups, each consisting of 10 rats: Normal control group (NCG), Exhaus...

Temporary proteinuria occurring after exercise is a common finding, and is explained predominantly by alterations in renal hemodynamics. In this study, it was investigated whether nitric oxide (NO), which is known to be effective on renal hemodynamics and to increase during exercise, has a role in post-exercise proteinuria. At the first step of this study, the effect of acute nitric oxide synth...

In this paper, a finite-input receding horizon controller (FIRHC) is proposed as motivated by the need to use solenoid valves to control the motion of a pneumatic hoping robot. The controller aims to the application on switching control systems in which only a finite number of control inputs are available. The controller utilizes a model to predict system behavior along a finite forward horizon...

Temporary proteinuria occurring after exercise is a common finding, and it is explained predominantly by alterations in renal hemodynamics. In this study, we investigated whether nitric oxide (NO), which is known to have an effect on renal hemodynamics and to increase during exercise, has a role in postexercise proteinuria. In the first step of this study, the effect of acute NO synthase blocka...

Recently, we showed that L-arginine (L-Arg) supplementation could attenuate acute exercise-induced oxidative and inflammatory stress in aging rats. In this study, we investigate whether L-Arg supplementation protects cellular oxidative stress, inflammation, or the mitochondrial DNA 4834-bp large deletion (mtDNA4834 deletion) in 14-week-old young rats tissues during exhaustive exercise. Rats wer...
