The Effects of Sprint Interval Training on Physical Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. Abstract Hall, AJ, Aspe, RR, Craig, TP, Kavaliauskas, M, Babraj, J, and Swinton, PA. The effects of sprint interval training on physical performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Strength Cond Res 37(2): 457–481, 2023—The present study aimed to synthesize findings from published research and through meta-analysis quantify the effect of sprint interval training (SIT) and potential moderators on physical performance outcomes (categorized as aerobic, anaerobic, mixed aerobic-anaerobic, or muscular force) with healthy adults, in addition to assessing the methodological quality of included studies and the existence of small study effects. Fifty-five studies were included (50% moderate methodological quality, 42% low methodological quality), with 58% comprising an intervention duration of ≤4 weeks and an array of different training protocols. Bayesian’s meta-analysis of standardized mean differences (SMD) identified a medium effect of improved physical performance with SIT (ES0.5 = 0.52; 95% credible intervals [CrI]: 0.42–0.62). Moderator analyses identified overlap between outcome types with the largest effects estimated for anaerobic outcomes (ES0.5 = 0.61; 95% CrI: 0.48–0.75). Moderator effects were identified for intervention duration, sprint length, and number of sprints performed per session, with larger effects obtained for greater values of each moderator. A substantive number of very large effect sizes (41 SMDs > 2) were identified with additional evidence of extensive small study effects. This meta-analysis demonstrates that short-term SIT interventions are effective for developing moderate improvements in physical performance outcomes. However, extensive small study effects, likely influenced by researchers analyzing many outcomes, suggest potential overestimation of reported effects. Future research should analyze fewer a priori selected outcomes and investigate models to progress SIT interventions for longer-term performance improvements.
Systematic analysis of factors that improve HDR efficiency in CRISPR / Cas9 technique

The bacterial CRISPR/Cas9 system has a proven to be an efficient tool for genetic manipulation in various organisms, but the efficiency of sequence replacement by homologous direct repair (HDR) is substantially lower than random creation of indels. Many studies focused on improving the efficiency of HDR using double sgRNA, cell synchronization cycle and the delivery of ssODN with a rational design. In the present study, we tested and compared the combination of these three methods to improve HDR efficiency. To our tests, we chosen the TNFα gene (NM_000594) for its crucial role in a variety of biological processes and diseases. Our results showed a dramatically increases of HDR efficiency from undetectable HDR event to 39% of HDR efficiency and provide a new strategy to facilitate CRISPR/Cas9-mediated human genome targeting. Furthermore, we showed that TNFα gene could be edited with CRISPR/Cas9 methodology, an opportunity to safely correct, in the future, the specific mutations of each patient.

Simulation analysis and match experiment on negative and positive pressures of pneumatic precision metering device for rapeseed

Positive and negative pressures determine the performance of pneumatic precision metering device for rapeseed. In order to investigate the relationship between positive and negative pressures of nozzles, fluid models of chamber were developed to simulate the airflow, and the k-e turbulence model was conducted to capture the pressure and velocity of nozzles. Through these efforts linear models were achieved. Meanwhile, the three-factor factorial split-split experiment was designed with negative pressure, positive pressure and the rotating speeds varying from -1 000 to -4 500 Pa, 50 to 250 Pa and 10 to 45 r/min, respectively. The mathematical models were developed through employing the stepwise regression method. The sequence of influential factors on the quality of feed index was positive pressure, negative pressure and rotating speed. To obtain the match regulation of negative and positive pressures with “good” performance, the ratio coefficient K of negative and positive pressures was introduced to build mathematical models. Models relating ratio coefficient K with positive pressure were fitted in different rotating speeds. The results showed that the ratio coefficient was matched Г∈[f1(x), f2(x)] from the fitting equations with the rotating speed of 10 - 30 r/min; while the rotating speed has greater influence when it was 35 - 40 r/min and the sets Λ∈[g1(x), g2(x)] were achieved, where x∈[100, 250]. This study could be conducted to adjust the rotating speed of the pneumatic system to optimize the ideal performance of the seeder.

Influence of a multiaxial stress on the reversible and irreversible magnetic behaviour of a 3%Si-Fe alloy

The research presented in this paper is motivated by the design of electrical devices submitted to mechanical stress. It aims at studying the magnetic behaviour of ferromagnetic materials submitted to biaxial stress. It deals with the evolution of the magnetic susceptibility, coercive field and magnetic losses with respect to stress, magnetic field level and frequency. These quantities are of primary importance in the design of rotors for high speed rotating machines. The work is focused on the magnetic behaviour of a standard grade of Iron-Silicon alloy under the form of thin sheet. Non conventional experiments are performed on cross-shaped samples in order to apply biaxial stress representative of the loadings experienced by rotors of rotating machines. These experiments are performed on a multiaxial testing machine, ASTREE. The magnetic loading is applied using a single U-yoke. The measurement of magnetic induction, magnetic field and strain is conducted by the means of needle-B sensor, H-coil sensors and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) respectively. Both anhysteretic and dissipative responses to magneto-mechanical loadings are considered. The results allow to identify the more critical stress configurations for this material.
Schistosoma mansoni -related periportal fibrosis; are APRI and PSDR levels of any potential utility in a well-timed selection of patients for targeted endoscopy in a resource-limited setting?: a case-control clinic-based study

Background Schistosoma mansoni related hepatic fibrosis is usually associated with hemodynamic alteration with increased mortality due to bleeding varices. The diagnosis of varices before bleeding imposes a big challenge in resource-limited countries using endoscopy. Published evidence on the utility of non-invasive clinical tools in predicting the presence of varices among patients with S. mansoni related periportal fibrosis is still inadequate including APRI and PSDR levels. This study describes the determinants of portal varices and assesses the potential utility of the APRI and PSDR level in the discrimination of portal varices among patients with S. mansoni related periportal fibrosis. Methods All patients with periportal fibrosis were cross-sectionally assessed for the presence of esophageal varices at Bugando medical centre, in Mwanza Tanzania. Socio-demographic, laboratory and ultrasound data were collected for analysis using STATA 13. The prevalence of varices and associated factors were determined, and the sensitivity and specificity of independent factors were assessed to determine their utility in discriminating presence of varices in patients with PPF. Results In total, 250 patients were included in this study, 109 (43.6%; 95%CI: 37.3-.49.9) of them had varices. On multivariate analysis the odds of having varices were independently increased among patients with higher median APRI levels, (1.51; vs. 0.9; AOR: 5.6; 95%CI: 3.1-10.1; p=<0.001) and PSDR levels that were lower than 5700 (AOR: 3.9; 95%CI: 2.0-7.6; p<0.001. Both APRI and PSDR levels had significantly high sensitivity and specificity in predicting the presence of esophageal varices. Conclusions This study indicates that varices are a common encounter among patients with S. mansoni related periportal fibrosis and it is independently associated with higher median APRI and lower PSDR levels suggesting that these tools are potential discriminators of varices in this subgroup of patients. The reproducibility of these results should further be assessed longitudinally as potential non-invasive tools in selecting patients at high risk of having esophageal varices who could benefit from the targeted endoscopic intervention in a resource-limited setting like ours.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Review

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are under evaluation by various stake holders to better understand their capability and potential benefits. PHEVs could allow users to significantly improve fuel economy over a standard HEV and in some cases, depending on daily driving requirements and vehicle design, have the ability to eliminate fuel consumption entirely for daily vehicle trips. The cost associated with providing charge infrastructure for PHEVs, along with the additional costs for the on-board power electronics and added battery requirements associated with PHEV technology will be a key factor in the success of PHEVs. This report analyzes the infrastructure requirements for PHEVs in single family residential, multi-family residential and commercial situations. Costs associated with this infrastructure are tabulated, providing an estimate of the infrastructure costs associated with PHEV deployment.

Structure and Social Dynamics of Harem Groups in Artibeus jamaicensis (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)

The Jamaican fruit-eating bat ( Artibeus jamaicensis ) is one of the most common Neotropical chiropterans, but comparatively little is known about structure and dynamics of its social groups. In two caves of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, we found Jamaican fruiteating bats forming harem groups, consisting of 4–18 females and 1–2 males, inside solution cavities that develop on the ceiling of caves. Other individuals roosted solitarily in the same caves, but outside solution cavities. We identified three types of males: dominants (one in each harem group), subordinates (present only in the largest harems), and satellites (not associated with a harem). Dominants were larger and heavier than males of the other two categories. During the 2-year study, harem groups always roosted in the same cavity and presented a high degree of stability, with few changes in composition. Satellite males and solitary females, in contrast, shifted roosting sites frequently and never formed cohesive groups. Adult females performed more movements from and to harem groups than males, and those movements were less frequent during the breeding season. Harems of the Jamaican fruit-eating bat presented subordinate males in large groups and differ from those of other phyllostomids in the lower degree of cohesiveness shown by females.
Direct torque control of induction machines over a wide speed range

A control scheme for direct torque control (DTC) of a three-phase induction machine operating over a wide spread range is discussed. The DTC is based on deadbeat control of torque and flux utilizing the principles of stator flux field orientation. The stator flux can be calculated from the terminal quantities and the stator resistance. Variations in the stator resistance result in significant errors in the stator flux, especially at low speed. This problem is overcome in the proposed scheme by using the slip relation from indirect rotor flux field orientation to locate the position of the rotor flux. The rotor flux position is then used to locate the position of the stator flux. The magnitude of the stator flux is found using a frequency-dependent combination of the reference value and the flux value calculated from the stator quantities. Experimental results are presented for a 4 kW bipolar transistor inverter induction machine drive and a digital signal processor-based controller. <<ETX>>
Quality information systems and quality management

Develops the theory on the role of information systems within quality management. Proposes a reference model for the study of quality information systems within quality management. The model includes three dimensions: quality management practices, quality information systems (distinguishing between information flows and information technologies) and quality performance. Proposes associated measures. Measures validity, and tests reliability on a sample of 34 manufacturing plants, with more than 100 employees, in the electronics, machinery and auto‐supplier industries. Also tests construct validity and internal consistency of model dimensions. The results show that the measures are valid and reliable and the model dimensions are valid constructs with a good internal consistency. The model proposed and the associated measures can therefore be used to study the relationships between quality management practices, quality information systems and quality performance.
Linear chromodynamics models for hyperspectral target detection

The most effective hyperspectral (HS) detection techniques rely on some knowledge of target spectra. However, translating laboratory signatures (reflectivity or emissivity) into accurate estimates of remotely sensed spectra is a daunting task without the use of vicarious calibration sources artificially implanted in a scene. It is, on the other hand, more feasible to predict how a signature changes over time, if its source remains situated within a single geographic area that is sensed at two times. Here we develop a family of transforms, called Covariance Equalization (CE), for estimating signature evolution using only the “before” and “after” statistics of an ensemble of HS measurements. CE derives from a linear model of the temporal development of terrestrial background spectra-of natural chromodynamics. The minimum mean squared error solution to the corresponding estimation problem (matrix Wiener filter) depends on crosscorrelations between the measurements, knowledge of which requires pixel-level image registration. CE transforms are designed to approximate this optimal solution, without depending on cross-correlations. The resulting estimators, when applied to a full image, effect color-constancy in the sense of preserving all firstand second-order statistics. The CE family is useful in many multivariate problems, for matching two point sets without use of point to point correspondences. The details of the application determine which member is most appropriate. Here we describe one choice that has worked well in HS imaging problems, and another for multi-modal or -temporal spatial imaging problems. Preliminary tests of the spectral version on remotely sensed HS data indicate that it performs indistinguishably from the optimal method, while obviating the latter’s stressing registration requirement.

THE EFFECT OF SIGNAL TIMING ON TRAFFIC FLOW AND CRASHES AT SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS

The relationship of the timing of the traffic signal clearance intervals (yellow phase plus red in all directions) to traffic flow, and crash rates at signalized intersections was examined. Specially designed traffic data logging devices provided data on the presence and speed of vehicles, and signal timing for 91 signalized intersections throughout the United States. Results showed that intersections with more adequate clearance intervals had substantially fewer rear-end and right-angle crashes than those with less adequate clearance intervals. The observed flow of traffic through the intersections after yellow onset was largely unaffected by variation in the lengths of clearance intervals, thus the proportion of drivers exposed to cross-street traffic decreased as the clearance interval lengths increased. Ideally, clearance intervals should be long enough to allow slower traffic approaching the intersection to cross before the cross-street traffic starts. However of the intersections in this study, the group with the highest average crash rate also had the slowest average crossing speeds, the widest cross streets, and the shortest and least adequate clearance intervals. Crash increases associated with deficient clearance intervals may be caused by abrupt stops by drivers who are reluctant to traverse wide cross streets with traffic waiting to start-up and by vehicles unable to clear the intersection under cross-street red protection.
The Impact of Organizational Context on the Levels of Cross-Border E-Commerce Adoption in Chinese SMEs: The Moderating Role of Environmental Context

With the rapid technological developments, cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) as a sector is also expanding rapidly. In the past couple of decades, China has become a major force in promoting and developing CBEC and, therefore, it was needed to explore the various antecedents and outcomes of Chinese CBEC to expand the understanding and existing CBEC scholarship. Ample studies have been conducted to understand the antecedents and outcomes of CBEC. However, limited studies have explored such variables which can mitigate the adoption of CBEC. With this background, this empirical study was focused on addressing this gap by studying the moderating role of environmental context between organizational context and the four levels of CBEC adoption with the help of a technology-organization-environment framework. SMEs operating in China were targeted for data collection, where data were collected through an online survey. A final sample size of 208 was recorded. It was found that the organizational context has a direct and positive impact on all four levels of CBEC adoption. Furthermore, the moderating role of environmental context on Level 1 and 2 was not supported. Finally, the moderating role of environmental context on Level 3 and 4 was supported by the data. It was concluded that the organizational context plays a significant role in shaping CBEC at all four levels, whereas the environmental context has the potential to mitigate the relationships between organizational context and CBEC Level 3 and 4.
