description: Preschool can have positive effects on the development of a healthy lifestyle. The present study analysed to what extent different conditions, structures and behavioural models in preschool and family-children's central social microsystems-can lead to differences in children's health resources. Using a cross-sectional mixed methods approach, contrast analyses of "preschools with systematic physical activity programmes" versus "preschools without physical activity programmes" were conducted to assess the extent to which children's physical activity, quality of life and social behaviour differ between preschools with systematic and preschools without physical activity programmes. Differences in children's physical activity according to parental behaviour were likewise assessed. Data on child-related outcomes and parent-related factors were collected via parent questionnaires and child interviews. A qualitative focused ethnographic study was performed to obtain deeper insight into the quantitative survey data. Two hundred and twenty seven (227) children were interviewed at 21 preschools with systematic physical activity programmes, and 190 at 25 preschools without physical activity programmes. There was no significant difference in children's physical activity levels between the two preschool types (p = 0.709). However, the qualitative data showed differences in the design and quality of programmes to promote children's physical activity. Data triangulation revealed a strong influence of parental behaviour. The triangulation of methods provided comprehensive insight into the nature and extent of physical activity programmes in preschools and made it possible to capture the associations between systematic physical activity promotion and children's health resources in a differential manner.

description: Using 3D numerical hydrodynamical simulations we show that jets launched prior to type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosion in the core-degenerate scenario can account for the appearance of two opposite lobes ('Ears') along the symmetry axis of the SN remnant (SNR). In the double-degenerate and core-degenerate scenarios the merger of the two degenerate compact objects is very likely to lead to the formation of an accretion disk, that might launch two opposite jets. In the CD scenario these jets interact with the envelope ejected during the preceding common envelope phase. If explosion occurs shortly after the merger process, the exploding gas and the jets will collide with the ejected nebula, leading to SNR with axisymmetric components including 'Ears'. We also explore the possibility that the jets are launched by the companion white dwarf prior to its merger with the core. This last process is similar to the one where jets are launched in some pre-planetary nebulae. The SNR 'Ears' in this case are formed by a spherical SN Ia explosion inside an elliptical planetary nebula-like object. We compare our numerical results with two SNRs - Kepler and G299.2-2.9.

description: Betrachtet man die wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken der 22 einzelnen Gliedkirchen innerhalb der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland (EKD) näher, so kommt man u.a. zu dem Befund, dass Archive und Bibliotheken häufig gemeinsame Verwaltungseinheiten bilden, wobei die Führung dieser Abteilungen in den einzelnen Landeskirchenämtern in der Regel in den Händen der wissenschaftlichen Archivare liegt. Bis zum Jahr 2009 gab es in der EKD lediglich in Hamburg (Nordelbische Kirchenbibliothek) und in Wuppertal (Hochschul- und Landesbibliothek) zwei Stellen des höheren Bibliotheksdienstes in kirchlich-wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken. Eine dritte Stelle war 1969–1998 in der Evangelisch-lutherischen Kirche in Bayern an der Bibliothek der Augustana-Hochschule Neuendettelsau angesiedelt. Der Oberkirchenrat der Evangelischen Landeskirche in Württemberg unterhält innerhalb der EKD die größte theologisch-wissenschaftliche Spezialbibliothek mit gegenwärtig ca. 250.000 Bänden. Angesichts von Größe und Bedeutung der Landeskirchlichen Zentralbibliothek Stuttgart hat der Oberkirchenrat im Oktober 2009 eine Stelle des höheren Bibliotheksdiensts geschaffen, die mit einem Absolventen der Bayerischen Bibliothekschule München besetzt wurde. Parallel zur Stellenneubesetzung kam das bereits seit längerer Zeit geplante „Bibliothekskonzept“ zur Umsetzung, was neben der Unterstellung der zweitgrößten wissenschaftlichen Spezialbibliothek der Landeskirche in Stuttgart (Bibliothek des Hauses Birkach mit ca. 110.000 Bänden) unter die Dienstaufsicht der Zentralen Kirchlichen Bibliotheksstelle auch die Fortführung bereits eingeleiteter Modernisierungsmaßnahmen zum Ziel hatte. Das inhaltlich und technologisch zu reformierende landeskirchliche Bibliothekswesen steht damit vor der Herausforderung, strukturelle Veränderungen zeitgleich mit Reformen zu verknüpfen, die direkte Auswirkungen auf die Bibliotheksmitarbeiterinnen haben, darunter eine Reduzierung in Höhe von 3 Personalstellen. Zu fragen wäre hier insgesamt, ob, wie bzw. wie gut einerseits die bibliothekarische Ausbildung sowohl praktisch als auch theoretisch die junge Führungskraft auf diese Aufgabe vorbereitet hat und andererseits auf welche Weise der neue Dienstherr sie bei deren Umsetzung flankierend unterstützt. Angesichts der oben beschriebenen kleinen Zahl wissenschaftlicher Bibliothekare im kirchlichen Dienst stellt sich zudem die Frage nach der Integration der jungen Führungskraft in belastbare bibliothekarische Netzwerke.

description: We present new number density and surface brightness profiles for the globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341). These profiles are calculated from optical images collected with the CCD mosaic camera MegaCam at the Canada-France-Hawaii-Telescope and with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope. The ground-based data were supplemented with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric catalog. Special care was taken to discriminate candidate cluster stars from field stars and to subtract the background contamination from both profiles. By examining the contour levels of the number density, we found that the stellar distribution becomes clumpy at radial distances larger than about 13 arcminutes, and there is no preferred orientation of contours in space. We performed detailed fits of King and Wilson models to the observed profiles. The best-fit models underestimate the number density inside the core radius. Wilson models better represent the observations, in particular in the outermost cluster regions: the good global agreement of these models with the observations suggests that there is no need to introduce an extra-tidal halo to explain the radial distribution of stars at large radial distances. The best-fit models for the number density and the surface brightness profiles are different, even though they are based on the same observations. Additional tests support the evidence that this fact reflects the difference in the radial distribution of the stellar tracers that determine the observed profiles (main sequence stars for the number density, bright evolved stars for the surface brightness).

description: We have examined the cyclotron resonance instability developing in the relativistic out-flowing plasma in the pulsar magnetosphere. The instability condition leads to radio emission in the sub-GHz frequency regime which is likely to be seen as off-pulse emission. Recent studies have shown the presence of off-pulse emission in long period pulsars, and we demonstrate this plasma process to be an energetically viable mechanism.

description: In this paper, we prove the "local epsilon-isomorphism conjecture" of Fukaya and Kato for a particular class of Galois modules obtained by tensoring a Zp-lattice in a crystalline representation of the Galois group of Qp with a representation of an abelian quotient of the Galois group with values in a suitable p-adic local ring. This can be regarded as a local analogue of the Iwasawa main conjecture for abelian p-adic Lie extensions of Qp, extending earlier work of Benois and Berger for the cyclotomic extension. We show that such an epsilon-isomorphism can be constructed using the Perrin-Riou regulator map, or its extension to the 2-variable case due to the first and third authors.

description: The DEPFET collaboration develops highly granular, ultra-transparent active pixel detectors for high-performance vertex reconstruction at future collider experiments. The characterization of detector prototypes has proven that the key principle, the integration of a first amplification stage in a detector-grade sensor material, can provide a comfortable signal to noise ratio of over 40 for a sensor thickness of 50-75 $\mathrm{\mathbf{μm}}$. ASICs have been designed and produced to operate a DEPFET pixel detector with the required read-out speed. A complete detector concept is being developed, including solutions for mechanical support, cooling and services. In this paper the status of DEPFET R & D project is reviewed in the light of the requirements of the vertex detector at a future linear $\mathbf{e^+ e^-}$ collider.

title: The Effect of Intensity of Aerobic VO2max Resting Heart Rate and Blood Pressure
Creators: name: Gormley, Shannan Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The AGSM recommends 20 to 60 minutes of continuous or intermittent activity 3 to 5 times per week to maintain cardio respiratory fitness (Pollock et al., 1998). The 1996 Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health indicates that Americans are not meeting these physical activity recommendations (DHHS). Several clear consequences of physical inactivity are the appearance of cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity. Two recent review articles suggested that higher intensity exercise will elicit a greater reduction in cardiovascular disease risk factors (Swain and Franklin, 2002; Swain and Franklin, 2006). In order to determine whether various exercise intensities differentially affect resting heart rate, resting blood pressure and aerobic capacity, college-aged males and females were recruited for this study. Sixty-one healthy subjects were matched for age, gender, and VO2max and randomly assigned to a moderate-intensity, vigorous-intensity, maximal-intensity or a non-exercising control group. The weekly duration of training varied in opposition to the intensity to ensure there was equivalent energy expenditure across all groups. Subjects completed a six-week training protocol on a stationary bicycle ergometer. After training, VO2max significantly increased across all exercising groups (P < 0.05). The maximal-intensity group had the greatest increase of 7.2 ml·min1·kg-1, followed by an increase of 4.8 ml·min 1·kg-1 in the vigorous-intensity group and an increase of 3.4 ml·min1·kg-1 in the moderate-intensity group. Percent increases in the moderate (10.0%), vigorous (14.3%) and maximal-intensity (20.6%) groups were all significantly different from each other. There were no significant changes in resting heart rate or resting blood pressure following training. The results indicate that when energy expenditure is controlled, higher intensities of exercise are more effective for improving VO2max than lower intensities of exercise in healthy, young, college-aged students.

description: Abstract

Urban space acts as a dynamic backdrop for diverse activities and interactions - that helps in shaping the experiences and memories of its users. However, limited studies specifically explore how urban spaces act as sites for urban collective memory construction and how those memories can be preserved. This study aims to explore the construction and preservation of urban collective memory within the Giza Zoo, examining the roles of physical settings, mental images, and historical narratives. The objective of this study is to elucidate elements related to urban collective memory associations that promote the construction of memory in urban spaces. This study employs a qualitative research methodology, utilizing thematic analysis to understand participants' memories and experiences related to the Giza Zoo. Data were collected through in-depth semi structured interviews across different age groups, focusing on their recollections of spatial elements, historical narratives, and visual imagery within the zoo. The analysis was guided by the exploratory frame work. The study identifies three key conceptual associations in constructing urban collective memory: place, image, and history. 'Place' encompasses the zoo’s physical attributes, such as animal habitats, landscapes, and architecture, which influence visitors' experiences. 'Image' includes visual and symbolic representations, sensorial experience, social interactions, and cultural significance, showing the zoo's role as social and cultural hub. 'History' involves historical narratives and architectural elements that provide continuity between past and present experiences. This study bridges a gap in understanding how urban spaces like the Giza Zoo contribute to urban collective memory and offers implications for urban planning and design, emphasizing the value of incorporating elements that promote memory into urban spaces.

description: Untersuchungen zur tages- und jahreszeitlichen Nutzung von Blühstreifen durch Vögel und Säugetiere sind methodisch schwierig. In dieser Studie kamen deshalb erstmals intervallgetaktete Fotofallen (Serienbildfunktion) zum Einsatz. Insgesamt wurden fünf Blühstreifen und fünf Feldsäume untersucht, wobei je Termin ein Flächenpaar (jeweils in Blühstreifen und ein Feldsaum) über den gesamten Tag hinweg erfasst wurde. Auf einer Untersuchungsfläche wurden fünf Kameras in Reihe exponiert. Das damit gewonnene umfangreiche Bildmaterial wurde nach Vorkommen von Vögeln und größeren Säugetieren systematisch ausgewertet. Insgesamt waren die Blühstreifen artenreicher als die Säume und wurden auch von beiden Artengruppen intensiver genutzt. Für die Vögel erfolgte ein Methodenvergleich zwischen der Fotofallen-Erfassung und der klassischen Linien-Transektkartierung. Im Gesamtergebnis zeigten sich keine Unterschiede: Die Vogelerfassung kann an wenigen Tagen über dann viele Stunden (Fotofallen) oder über viele Wiederholungen (Tage) mit kurzer Verweildauer auf den Untersuchungsflächen (Linien-Transektkartierung) erfolgen. Flächenspezifische Unterschiede deuten an, dass beide Erfassungsmethoden im Detail bestimmte Vorzüge haben. Häufig auftretende Vögel werden von der Linien-Transektkartierung besser erfasst, während Fotofallen die Vögel, die nur selten und kurzzeitig (vor allem auf den Feldsäumen) auftreten, besser abbilden.

description: Livestock are transported for a number of reasons and in most cases this is an unfamiliar and threatening event in an animal’s life, which can lead to distress, injury or even death if not properly planned and executed. Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 specifies that no animal shall be transported unless it is fit for the intended journey. Currently no agreed scientific definition of the concept of fitness for transport exists but a number of welfare consequences have been identified as being highly relevant to the welfare during transport. In this Indicator factsheet methods for assessing whether a bovine animal is fit for transportation and recommendations for inspection are described.
Effects of shocks in stellar atmosphere models on the emission line spectrum of surrounding Hii regions

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Emission line studies from Hii regions in galaxies require tools for the inversion of line ratios into desired physical properties. These tools generally come in form of diagnostic ratios/diagrams that are based on grids of photoionisation models. An important input to the photoionisation models is the stellar atmosphere spectrum of the ionising sources. The current omission of shocks in the calculation of the former set of models could threaten the accuracy of the physical interpretation of emission line ratios from Hii regions. Current stellar atmosphere models that are crucial inputs to the grid of photoionisation models used to generate nebular emission line diagnostic diagrams might produce significant biases due to the omission of shocks. We investigate whether a new generation of photoionisation model grids, taking shocks into account, is required to compensate for the biases. We make use of the WM-Basic stellar atmosphere code, which can account for the extra energetic emission in the stellar spectral energy distribution produced by shocks, in conjunction with the photoionisation code MOCASSIN to determine whether shocks produce significant biases in the determination of the physical parameters of the interstellar medium and/or ionising stellar parameters. We conclude that these effects are only important for stellar sources with effective temperatures lower than 30kK and in this case they yield artificially high stellar temperatures, electron temperatures and nebular ionisation parameters. The magnitude of the effect is also obviously dependent on the strength of the shock and is likely to be unimportant for the majority of stellar sources. Nevertheless, we find our 20kK and 30kK shock models to strongly enhance the He ii 4686 nebular emission line. This result is however not strong enough to explain previously observed He ii 4686 line emission in the spectra of Hii galaxies.

description: Blühstreifen gelten als geeignete Maßnahme, um die Biodiversität in der Agrarlandschaft zu fördern. Ihre Bedeutung für die Tagfalterfauna, insbesondere der Einfluss von Breite und Alter, sind jedoch weitgehend unerforscht. Um ihre Eignung als Naturschutz- oder produktionsintegrierte Kompensationsmaßnahme für die Tagfalterfauna bewerten zu können, wurden im Landkreis Rotenburg (Wümme) verschiedene Blühstreifentypen im Vergleich zu Feldsäumen untersucht. Der Fokus lag auf unterschiedlich breiten und alten Blühstreifen sowie auf Säumen entlang von Maisschlägen und entlang der Blühstreifen. Es konnten insgesamt 20 Arten auf den Blühstreifen nachgewiesen werden, davon fünf Arten ausschließlich dort. Auf den Säumen wurden 15 Arten nachgewiesen, die alle auch auf den Blühstreifen auftraten. Blühstreifen stellen also eine Bereicherung für die Tagfalter in der intensiv genutzten Agrarlandschaft dar, wobei jedoch überwiegend Generalisten nachgewiesen wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Blühstreifen mit 6m Breite als Vernetzungselement geeignet sind. Zahlreiche Tagfalterarten können Blühstreifen als Nektarhabitat nutzen. Damit sich Blühstreifen auch als Fortpflanzungshabitate eignen, ist eine mehrjährige Standzeit ausschlaggebend, ebenso wie das Vorkommen der Raupenfutterpflanzen. Letzteres wird von den üblicherweise eingesetzten Saatmischungen nicht optimal abgedeckt. Zur dauerhaften Sicherung vieler Tagfalterarten sind deshalb ergänzende Maßnahmen erforderlich.

description: We describe the observation of GW170104, a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of a pair of stellar-mass black holes. The signal was measured on January 4, 2017 at 10 11:58.6 UTC by the twin advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory during their second observing run, with a network signal-to-noise ratio of 13 and a false alarm rate less than 1 in 70 000 years. The inferred component black hole masses are 31.2-6.0+8.4M' and 19.4-5.9+5.3M (at the 90% credible level). The black hole spins are best constrained through measurement of the effective inspiral spin parameter, a mass-weighted combination of the spin components perpendicular to the orbital plane, χeff=-0.12-0.30+0.21. This result implies that spin configurations with both component spins positively aligned with the orbital angular momentum are disfavored. The source luminosity distance is 880-390+450 Mpc corresponding to a redshift of z=0.18-0.07+0.08. We constrain the magnitude of modifications to the gravitational-wave dispersion relation and perform null tests of general relativity. Assuming that gravitons are dispersed in vacuum like massive particles, we bound the graviton mass to mg≤7.7×10-23 eV/c2. In all cases, we find that GW170104 is consistent with general relativity. © 2017 American Physical Society.

description: We study mode-I fracture in lattices with noisy bonds. In contrast to previous attempts, by using a small parameter that perturbs the force-law between the atoms in perfect lattices and using a 3-body force law, simulations reproduce the qualitative behavior of the beyond steady-state cracks in the high velocity regime, including reasonable micro-branching. As far as the physical properties such as the structure factor $g(r)$, the radial or angular distributions, these lattices share the physical properties of perfect lattices rather than that of an amorphous material (e.g., the continuous random network model). A clear transition can be seen between steady-state cracks, where a single crack propagates in the midline of the sample and the regime of unstable cracks, where micro-branches start to appear near the main crack, in line with previous experimental results. This is seen both in a honeycomb lattice and a fully hexagonal lattice. This model reproduces the main physical features of propagating cracks in brittle materials, including the behavior of velocity as a function of driving displacement and the increasing amplitude of oscillations of the electrical resistance. In addition, preliminary indications of power-law behavior of the micro-branch shapes can be seen, potentially reproducing one of the most intriguing experimental results of brittle fracture.

description: Aim: Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is essential for diagnostic workup of patients with neurological diseases and includes differential cell typing. The current gold standard is based on microscopic examination by specialised technicians and neuropathologists, which is time‐consuming, labour‐intensive and subjective. Methods: We, therefore, developed an image analysis approach based on expert annotations of 123,181 digitised CSF objects from 78 patients corresponding to 15 clinically relevant categories and trained a multiclass convolutional neural network (CNN). Results: The CNN classified the 15 categories with high accuracy (mean AUC 97.3%). By using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), we demonstrate that the CNN identified meaningful cellular substructures in CSF cells recapitulating human pattern recognition. Based on the evaluation of 511 cells selected from 12 different CSF samples, we validated the CNN by comparing it with seven board‐certified neuropathologists blinded for clinical information. Inter‐rater agreement between the CNN and the ground truth was non‐inferior (Krippendorff's alpha 0.79) compared with the agreement of seven human raters and the ground truth (mean Krippendorff's alpha 0.72, range 0.56–0.81). The CNN assigned the correct diagnostic label (inflammatory, haemorrhagic or neoplastic) in 10 out of 11 clinical samples, compared with 7–11 out of 11 by human raters. Conclusions: Our approach provides the basis to overcome current limitations in automated cell classification for routine diagnostics and demonstrates how a visual explanation framework can connect machine decision‐making with cell properties and thus provide a novel versatile and quantitative method for investigating CSF manifestations of various neurological diseases.

description: We use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave (FP-LAPW) calculations to study the electronic structure of BaCo2As2. The Fermi surface (FS) maps and the corresponding band dispersion data (at 90 K and 200 K) reveal a small electron pocket at the center and a large electron pocket at the corner of the Brillouin zone. Therefore the nesting between electron and hole FS pockets is absent in this compound, in contrast to the parent compounds of FeAs-based high-T_c superconductors. The electronic structure at about 500 meV binding energy is very similar to features at the chemical potential in BaFe2As2. This indicates that complete substitution of Co for Fe causes a nearly rigid shift in the Fermi energy by adding two electrons per formula unit without significant changes in the band dispersions. The experimental FS topology as well as band dispersion data are in reasonable agreement with the FP-LAPW calculations.

description: Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitously distributed pathogen whose rodent counterparts such as mouse and rat CMV serve as common infection models. Here, we conducted global proteome profiling of rat CMV‐infected cells and uncovered a pronounced loss of the transcription factor STAT2, which is crucial for antiviral interferon signalling. Via deletion mutagenesis, we found that the viral protein E27 is required for CMV‐induced STAT2 depletion. Cellular and in vitro analyses showed that E27 exploits host‐cell Cullin4‐RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL4) complexes to induce poly‐ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of STAT2. Cryo‐electron microscopy revealed how E27 mimics molecular surface properties of cellular CRL4 substrate receptors called DCAFs (DDB1‐ and Cullin4‐associated factors), thereby displacing them from the catalytic core of CRL4. Moreover, structural analyses showed that E27 recruits STAT2 through a bipartite binding interface, which partially overlaps with the IRF9 binding site. Structure‐based mutations in M27, the murine CMV homologue of E27, impair the interferon‐suppressing capacity and virus replication in mouse models, supporting the conserved importance of DCAF mimicry for CMV immune evasion.

description: This paper describes our efforts to implement the Research Core Dataset (“Kerndatensatz Forschung”; KDSF) as an ontology in VIVO. KDSF is used in VIVO to record the required metadata on incoming data and to produce reports as an output. While both processes need an elaborate adaptation of the KDSF specification, this paper focusses on the adaptation of the KDSF basic data model for recording data in VIVO. In this context, the VIVO and KDSF ontologies were compared with respect to domain, syntax, structure, and granularity in order to identify correspondences and mismatches. To produce an alignment, different matching approaches have been applied. Furthermore, we made necessary modifications and extensions on KDSF classes and properties.

description: The Green Bank Telescope H II Region Discovery Survey (GBT HRDS) found hundreds of previously unknown Galactic regions of massive star formation by detecting hydrogen radio recombination line (RRL) emission from candidate H II region targets. Since the HRDS nebulae lie at large distances from the Sun, they are located in previously unprobed zones of the Galactic disk. Here we derive the properties of helium and carbon RRL emission from HRDS nebulae. Our target sample is the subset of the HRDS that has visible helium or carbon RRLs. This criterion gives a total of 84 velocity components (14% of the HRDS) with helium emission and 52 (9%) with carbon emission. For our highest quality sources, the average ionic He-4+/H+ abundance ratio by number, , is 0.068 +/- 0.023 (1-sigma). This is the same ratio as that measured for the sample of previously known Galactic H II regions. Nebulae without detected helium emission give robust y+ upper limits. There are 5 RRL emission components with y+ less than 0.04 and another 12 with upper limits below this value. These H II regions must have either a very low He-4 abundance or contain a significant amount of neutral helium. The HRDS has 20 nebulae with carbon RRL emission but no helium emission at its sensitivity level. There is no correlation between the carbon RRL parameters and the 8 microns mid-infrared morphology of these nebulae.

title: Optimizing Chronic Slow Breathing Training to Cause a Therapeutic Effect on Heart Rate Variability
Creators: name: Brown, Jennifer Joy
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Heart rate variability (HRV) is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to determine the basic state of an individual's autonomic health. The current study attempted to establish the minimum frequency of breathing practice necessary to produce a therapeutic effect on HRV over the course of a four-week period with four different treatment groups, specifically, groups that practiced a slow breathing protocol for either 2, 3 or 5 times per week, and a control group. Forty-three subjects (14 males, 29 females), ages 18–50 years, were screened, pre-tested, matched for sex, age and HRV, assigned to a specific group for a four-week training period, and completed the study. All pre- and post-test measurements were made during a 10-minute period of supine rest, and included systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and the following HRV measures: standard deviation of the normal to normal R waves (SDNN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), high frequency power (HF), low frequency power (LF), and HF/LF ratio. During the 4-week training period, subjects kept a log of their breathing training and then returned for post-testing of the same variables. A two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures on one factor and post hoc T-tests were used to evaluate the data. Significance was set at the 0.05 level. Following the 4-week training period, the control group experienced an increase in systolic BP, while all three training groups experienced a decrease. For diastolic BP, the control group experienced an increase, while only the 2 times per week training group experienced a decrease. For HR, the 2 times per week and 5 times per week groups demonstrated a decrease, while no other groups changed. There were no differences in any HRV measures as a result of training in any group. In conclusion, although previous research had found that breathing training affected HRV measures, there was no effect in this study regardless of the frequency of training. Breathing training did cause a reduction in resting BP and heart rate, but the frequency of training had little to no differential effect. The study was unable to demonstrate a minimum frequency of breathing training for affecting the autonomic nervous system.

Analytic structure of $ϕ^4$ theory using light-by-light sum rules

description: We apply a sum rule for the forward light-by-light scattering process within the context of the $ϕ^4$ quantum field theory. As a consequence of the sum rule a stringent causality criterion is presented and the resulting constraints are studied within a particular resummation of graphs. Such resummation is demonstrated to be consistent with the sum rule to all orders of perturbation theory. We furthermore show the appearance of particular non-perturbative solutions within such approximation to be a necessary requirement of the sum rule. For a range of values of the coupling constant, these solutions manifest themselves as a physical bound state and a $K$-matrix pole. For another domain however, they appear as tachyon solutions, showing the inconsistency of the approximation in this region.
