Comparison of Aerobic Capacity and Current Levels of Physical Activity in Yoga Practitioners and Healthy Non-Exercising Individuals

J Yoga & Physio 6(3): JYP.MS.ID.555686 (2018) 0042 Introduction Aerobic capacity (VO2 max) is the maximal oxygen uptake and refers to the amount of oxygen the body is utilizes in one minute. Physical fitness depends mainly on Cardio-respiratory endurance of an individual. VO2 max (maximal oxygen uptake/ maximal aerobic power/ aerobic capacity) is widely accepted as the best measure of cardio-respiratory endurance and refers to the level of oxygen consumption beyond which no further increase in oxygen consumption occurs with further increase in the intensity of exercise and is expressed in ml/kg/minute. VO2 max is probably the best physiological indicator of a person’s capacity to continue strenous work [1]. Determination of cardiorespiratory fitness in terms of direct measurement of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) is restricted within the laboratory because of its exhausting and difficult experimental protocol [2].
Screening of Parkinson's Differential MicroRNA Based on GEO Database and Its Clinical Verification

Objective This study is set out to explore the potential difference of miR in PD through GEO data and provide diagnostic indicators for clinical practice. Methods In this study, differential miR was screened through the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, 68 PD patients treated in our hospital from May 2017 to March 2018 were collected as the research group (RG), and 50 normal subjects who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were collected as the control group (CG). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression and diagnostic value of miR-374a-5p in serum of patients. The potential target genes of miR-374a-5p were predicted, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis and Gene Ontology Consortium (GO) were carried out. Results GEO2R analysis revealed that 193 miRs are expressed differentially, of which 78 were highly expressed and 115 were poorly expressed. The miR-374a-5p expression in the serum of the RG was reduced markedly and had a diagnostic value. Targetscan and miRDB online websites were used to predict their target genes, with 415 common target genes. miR-374a-5p may participate in 27 functional pathways and 8 signal pathways. Conclusion miR-335-5p has low expression in PD and is expected to be a potential diagnostic indicator.
Field trials with ISA in Hungary

Field experiments with ISA (Intelligent Speed Adaptation) has been carried out in the city of Debrecen, Hungary. Twenty vehicles were equipped with two kinds of ISA systems: 1) support via an active accelerator pedal and 2) warning via beep signals and flashing red light when exceeding the speed limit. Speed was continually logged in all vehicles and the test drivers were interviewed. The results show that they had a positive attitude towards ISA generally, but they reported some negative changes in workload factors. They liked the warning beep signal more than support via the gas pedal.
Interactive Digital Campus Visual Navigation System Design and Development

Designing an interactive virtual navigation system needs consideration of compositive features such as modelling, movement control and object selection. Those features are key to meet end user requirements. Current virtual navigation systems are not beneficial to popularize in the case of development environment, methods and technologies. That is because such systems have limited application area and costs. Proprietary development environment result in limited selection in system components while new development technologies are unlikely to be accepted as staggering capital costs. In this paper, we propose a feasible scheme and development environment to design an interactive virtual navigation system for creating and utilizing digital campus models. Furthermore, the scheme also captures user interactivities via mouse and keyboard for further controls and selections in virtual campus. By adequate consideration of user preferences and personalities, this system benefits in portability, flexibility; has a high degree of standardization and lower cost.
Food for Comfort: A Short Narrative Review on Eating Behaviour and Obesity

The World Health Organization revealed that worldwide obesity has tripled, with 1.9 billion adults categorised as overweight and 650 million adults classified as obese. The increase in body mass presents public health challenges due to the poor health outcomes of those who are overweight and obese. A computerised literature search was performed using Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar with keywords ‘eating behaviours, ‘eating habits’, ‘food consumption’, ‘food choice’, ‘food preference, ‘body mass index’, ‘overweight’ and ‘obesity’. Titles and abstracts of potentially relevant articles published in English between 2010 and 2020 were screened. The objective of this review was to identify the contribution of eating behaviour on obesity among university students. Studies were included solely based on relevance to the research review objective. The included papers were grouped based on content and methodology of cross-sectional studies which examined the relationship between eating behaviour and obesity among university students. The reviews on past research focused on eating behaviour and obesity among university students since an abundance of literature demonstrates that most students gain weight during the university life. Determining the extent to which psychological aspects contribute to the increasing worldwide obesity pandemic is critical for improving interventions, policies and practices.
Locating objects in warehouses using BLE beacons & Machine Learning

Warehouse management plays a pivotal role to boost the entire supply chain. To increase productivity, enterprises are focusing on different object localization approaches to achieve better accuracy amid high interferences. This helps to reduce the overall time for order taking & perform effective stock management. For this purpose, we propose a cost-effective system to achieve better accuracy for locating objects in indoor spaces with the help of BLE beacons. BLE is the term used for Bluetooth wireless standard for low power consumption. BLE beacons are used as technology enablers because BLE supports all the major mobile smart devices and tablets. The measurement is performed using Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). Also, improved the location accuracy with the help of machine learning algorithms & utilizing neighborhood beacons for real-world use cases of warehouse management. The target object & neighborhood beacons provide the raw data to the system & the mobile device acts as a receiver. Our results show that the proposed work provides high accuracy for finding resources, taking orders & improving the overall stock process in warehouse management.
A Broadband High-Efficiency Dipole Array Based on Frequency Selective Surface and Integrated Feeding Structure

In this paper, an ultra-wideband tightly couple antenna array based on a low-loss phase-modulated frequency selective surface and a microstrip-based feeding structure is reported. The proposed antenna array, which employs tightly coupled bow-tie elements, features a very low profile (1.08<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda _{high}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>). Specifically, a microstrip-to-parallel strip transition serves as an impedance transformer and a wideband balun to enable the array element to be excited with a 50 <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula> unbalanced feeding scheme. Additionally, one shorting sheet is employed to expand the bandwidth by shifting the common-mode to a higher frequency band. The presented design achieves a bandwidth of 13.66:1 (0.52 GHz – 7.10 GHz) with VSWR < 2.49 and simulated radiation efficiency greater than 96% across the whole band. To validate the design concepts, an <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$8\times8$ </tex-math></inline-formula> array prototype is fabricated and characterized experimentally. The measured results match well with the numerical analysis.
Promoción del aprendizaje autónomo a través de la plataforma Edmodo, la metodología de aula invertida y los estilos de aprendizaje

El presente artículo de investigación presenta los resultados de un estudio de enfoque mixto, cuyo objetivo general buscó fomentar el aprendizaje autónomo de estudiantes de inglés y francés de licenciatura en lenguas modernas mediante una estrategia didáctica mediada por la plataforma educativa Edmodo y diseñada a partir de la teoría de estilos de aprendizaje y la metodología de aula invertida. Los resultados encontrados permitieron evidenciar que los estudiantes con estilo de aprendizaje activo intuitivo pueden trascender más fácilmente en los niveles de autonomía cuando el uso de la tecnología juega un papel protagónico; por su parte, los estudiantes reflexivos, al no sentirse identificados con la metodología aula invertida, reflejan un progreso lento en su autonomía. De igual modo, fue posible evidenciar que los participantes de este estudio se encuentran en un nivel 2, intermedio, de autonomía (investigación-intervención), lo que sugiere, tal como se contempla desde el enfoque psicológico-evolutivo de la autonomía, que ésta no se construye en un determinado momento, sino más bien que es un proceso que se va desarrollando a lo largo de las experiencias de aprendizaje, de allí la importancia de continuar en la búsqueda de estrategias para el fortalecimiento del espíritu crítico e investigativo de los estudiantes y el uso apropiado de las TIC en los procesos educativos.
Spectral Domain Analysis of a Hexagonal Microstrip Resonator

The capacitance of an open regular hexagonal microstrip resonator is calculated with the quasi-static spectral domain technique. From the capacitance values, the effective hexagonal side and the effective dielectric constant are determined, yielding resonant frequencies which agree well with measured values. Numerical data for several dielectric constants are included. The capacitance values are also compared with those of circular and triangular microstrip resonators. A simple formula relates the resonant frequencies of commensurate hexagonal and circular resonators.

Murid sendirilah yang harus mengartikan apa yang telah diajarkan dengan menyesuaikan terhadap pengalaman-pengalaman mereka (Lorsbach & Tobin dalam Suparno, 1997 : 19). Penelitian ini mencoba mengimplementasikan Pendekatan Open-Ended yang dikolaborasikan dengan strategi kooperatif dalam pembelajaran matematika.Hasil yang dilihat dalam penelitian ini adalah kemmapuan penalaran dan pemahaman matematik yang merupakan tujuan kemampuan proses belajara mengajar, yakni tujuan formal dan material. Dalam analisisnya, penelitian ini juga dilengkapi dengan dasar kajian kategori kemampuan siswa, serta jenis kelamin. Kata Kunci : Open-ended, Penalaran, pemahaman, kategori kemampuan dan gender.
Impact of grain number fluctuations in the MOS transistor gate on matching performance

This paper presents a compact model for the gate impact on MOS transistor matching. It is based on the random variations of grain number in the polycrystalline gate. The model is validated by fitting mismatch increase with substrate bias. This study highlights the importance of local polysilicon depletion and gives a better understanding of complex mechanisms that are responsible for MOSFET mismatch.
Capacitated dynamic lotsizing heuristics for serial systems

This paper deals with multi-item capacitated lotsizing in a serial production environment under dynamic demand conditions. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the performance of simple level-by-level heuristics. A problem classification is proposed to distinguish between easy problems and harder ones for which no simple heuristics can be developed. It is shown how simple algorithms can be constructed for the easier problems using a level-by-level approach. These heuristics are the first of their kind for this problem. They are compared with the optimal solution for a set of test problems. The results show that for some problem classes strategies which are frequently used in practice may result in rather poor schedules.
Limits of gate-oxide scaling in nano-transistors

This paper explores the ultimate scaling limit of gate oxide due to MOSFET gate leakage and device performance. The limit on Tox reduction with respect to gate leakage tolerance is considered by the concept of "dynamic" gate leakage in nano-scale MOSFET's. Tox scaling is also limited by transistor performance degradation due to the loss of inversion layer charge through gate leakage and the degradation of carrier mobility in the channel from increased scattering. All the three effects are investigated experimentally on CMOS devices with gate length down to 50 nm and gate Tox down to 12 A. The minimum Tox is proposed and the implications on voltage scaling, high-k gate dielectrics and low-temperature CMOS are discussed.
Intrusion deception in defense of computer systems

Abstract : We investigate deception in response to cyber-intrusion or trespassing on computer systems. We present a Response Framework that categorizes the types of response we can employ against intruders and show how intrusion deception has its place in this framework. To experiment, we put together tools and technologies such as Snort, VMware, and honeynets in a testbed open to attacks from the Internet. We wrote some Snort rules and ran Snort in inline mode to deceptively manipulate packets of attackers. Our results showed that attackers did react to our deceptions in some interesting ways, suggesting that intrusion deception is a viable response to intrusion.
Annual Tropical‐Rainforest Productivity Through Two Decades: Complex Responses to Climatic Factors, [CO2] and Storm Damage

Yearly changes in tropical carbon‐cycling have been a major biotic determinant of the interannual variation in the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide ([CO2]). The environmental responses underlying these changes remain poorly understood. A 21‐year field study (1997–2018) in a Costa Rican rainforest has produced the first multi‐decade record of landscape‐scale annual aboveground productivity for a tropical ecosystem. While none of the four production components (wood production; leaf‐, twig‐, and reproductive litterfall) increased over two decades, all significantly varied among years. Multi‐factor environmental models explained a large fraction of the inter‐year changes in two production components. Annual changes in three climatic factors and [CO2] jointly accounted for 84% of the variation in annual wood production. While the strongest response of wood production was to decline in years of slightly warmer nights, it also significantly declined in years with more dry‐season hours hotter than 28°C. The yearly changes in reproductive litterfall were largely (52%) determined by the combined effects of increasing [CO2] and declining annual radiation. Twig litterfall declined over the 21 years. Annual leaf litterfall, the largest component of field‐assessed aboveground production, showed no significant environmental responses. An extreme storm in the study's final year disrupted the environmental controls on production that prevailed through the prior 20 years. While important uncertainties are introduced by some of the field methods for assessing aboveground forest production, the findings of this first long‐term field study of annual landscape‐scale productivity raise deep concerns for the future of tropical forests as global warming proceeds.
Open Loop Responses of Posture Complexity in Biomechanics

The reactionary responses to control human standing dynamics were estimated under the assumption that postural complexity mainly occurs in the mid-sagittal plane. During the experiment, the subject was exposed to continuous horizontal perturbation. The ankle and hip joint rotations of the subject mainly contributed to maintaining standing postural control. The designed mobile platform generated anterior/posterior (AP) motion. Non-predictive random translation was used as input for the system. The mean acceleration generated by the platform was measured as 0.44 m/s² . The measured data were analyzed in the frequency domain by the coherence function and the frequency response function to estimate its dynamic responses. The significant correlation found between the input and output of the postural control system. The frequency response function revealed prominent resonant peaks within its frequency spectrum and magnitude. Subjects behaved as a non-rigid two link inverted pendulum. The analyzed data are consistent with the outcome hypothesized for this study.

Fast 3D super-resolution imaging using a digital micromirror device and binary holography

Abstract. Significance: High-speed three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution microscopy is a unique tool to investigate various biological phenomena; yet the technology is not broadly adopted due to its high cost and complex system design. Aim: We present a compact, low-cost, and high-speed 3D structured illumination microscopy (SIM) based on a digital micromirror device and binary holography to visualize fast biological events with super-resolution. Approach: The 3D SIM uses a digital micromirror device to generate three laser foci with individually controllable positions, phases, and amplitudes via binary holography at the back aperture of objective lens to form optimal 3D structured patterns. Fifteen raw images are sequentially recorded and processed by the 3D SIM algorithm to reconstruct a super-resolved image. Results: Super-resolution 3D imaging at a speed of 26.7 frames per second is achieved with a lateral and axial resolution of 155 and 487 nm, which corresponds to a 1.65- and 1.63-times resolution enhancement, respectively, comparing with standard deconvolution microscopy. Conclusions: The 3D SIM realizes fast super-resolution imaging with optimal 3D structured illumination, which may find important applications in biophotonics.
State-of-the-Art in Synchrophasor Measurement Technology Applications in Distribution Networks and Microgrids

Although synchrophasor measurement technology (SMT) has become a somewhat mature and operational tool used in transmission-level power networks, its use in active distribution networks (ADNs) is still in very early stages. Due to distinct features (such as unbalanced operation, very low phase angle differences, greater harmonics pollution, and lower signal-to-noise ratios in distribution networks), transmission-level devices and applications may not be fully effective at the distribution level. Extensive research and development efforts are in progress to bring distribution-level phasor measurement units (DPMUs) to an operational stage in ADNs. This essential work is made even more urgent by changing ADNs that are widely integrating distributed energy resources and enabling demand-side entities as active network players, in some cases considering authorizing them for peer-to-peer energy trading. This paper focuses on SMT/DPMU applications in ADNs and microgrids. We specifically elaborate on how SMT/DPMUs are enabling 1) effective situational awareness, 2) enhanced protection and fault location functions, 3) novel control algorithms and augmented energy management applications, and 4) long-term baselining and analysis. Various barriers and challenges that come with rapid and broad deployment of SMT/DPMUs and their associated applications are also discussed.
