There has been growing interest in the role of viral infections and their association with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, little is known about impact have on fetal membranes (FM). Toll-like receptors (TLR) are thought to play a infection-associated inflammation at maternal–fetal interface. Therefore, objective this study was characterize cytokine profile antiviral response human FMs exposed dsRNA, which activates TLR3, ssRNA, TLR8; determine mechanisms involved. The dsRNA analog,...
The primary purpose was to examine the effect of incremental exercise on a noncompatible response time task. Participants (N=9) undertook 4-choice task under 3 conditions, following rest and during at 70% 100% their maximum power output. Reaction movement times were dependent variables. Maximum output had been previously established an test exhaustion. A repeated-measures multivariate analysis variance yielded significant intensity task, observation separate univariate analyses showed that...
The delivery to and utilization of oxygenated hemoglobin the forearm muscles are key determinants rock-climbing performance. Anthocyanin-rich New Zealand blackcurrant (NZBC) has been suggested improve blood flow may enhance endurance As such, a double-blind, randomized crossover design study with 12 participants performed submaximal intermittent contractions (at 40% maximal voluntary contraction) failure after 7-day intake 600 mg/day NZBC extract or placebo. Minimum tissue saturation index...
Abstract Anthocyanin‐rich New Zealand blackcurrant (NZBC) may improve forearm muscle oxygenation and enhance performance in high‐level rock climbers. As such, using a double‐blind, randomised, cross‐over design study, twelve participants performed an oxidative capacity assessment, two successive exhaustive exercise trials (submaximal contractions at 60% of their maximal volitional contraction). Each visit was conducted following 7‐days intake 600 mg·day −1 NZBC extract or placebo. Oxidative...
This study investigated the prevalence of obesity in 1671 Caucasian 11-14 year olds using body mass index (BMI) and fat percentage (F%). Age sex-related criteria for both BMI F% were applied to characterise individuals as normal, overweight/overfat or obese. Using BMI, 5.6% males 6.1% females identified gave higher values obesity: 11.9% 15.3% females. The appears be in-line with other surveys; however, outcome does appear depend on measure employed (BMI/F%) categories used...
ABSTRACT: Rockfalls pose a critical risk to the mining industry. In collaboration with NIOSH and industry partners, Geotechnical Center of Excellence (GCE) has previously shown that thermal video can effectively observe rockfall events. Currently, work is underway automate detection, tracking, alarming these To facilitate this work, prototype imaging system uses an early version detection algorithm been developed. Designed withstand extreme environments, be easily transported light vehicle...
Rockfalls and rockslides are ubiquitous hazards at the Bingham Canyon Mine, where a large (19 × 10 6 tonnes) slope failure ('Leo Failure') occurred on 31 May 2021.The deforming was monitored with continuous thermal video recordings.This study documents (based upon review) both frequency spatial distribution of rockfalls leading to failure.Thermal monitoring began approximately four days prior collapse, during final acceleration phase.The increases exponentially failure, 45% total documented...
