Acute Hemodynamic Responses to Combined Exercise and Sauna.
2020
AbstractThis study investigated acute hemodynamic, plasma volume and immunological responses to four loading protocols: sauna only, and sauna after endurance, strength or combined endurance and strength exercise. Twenty-seven healthy, slightly prehypertensive men (age 32.7±6.9 years) were measured at PRE, MID (after exercise), POST, POST30min and POST24h. The measurements consisted systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature and concentrations of high-sensitive C-reactive protein, white blood cells and plasma volume measurements. Endurance+sauna showed significant decreases in systolic blood pressure at POST (–8.9 mmHg), POST30min (–11.0 mmHg) and POST24h (–4.6 mmHg)…
Sauna Bathing and Risk of Psychotic Disorders : A Prospective Cohort Study
2018
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> Sauna bathing has been suggested to promote mental well-being and relaxation, but the evidence is uncertain with respect to mental disorders. We aimed to assess the association of frequency of sauna bathing with risk of psychosis in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease prospective population-based study. <b><i>Subjects and Methods:</i></b> Baseline sauna bathing habits were assessed in 2,138 men aged 42–61 years who had no history of psychotic disorders. Participants were classified into three groups based on the frequency of sauna bathing (once, 2–3, and 4–7 times per week). <b><i>Results:</i></b>…
Effect of an exercise-based intervention on physical function of frail elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome
2021
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main funding source(s): This work was supported by grants from CIBER CV, Madrid, Spain [grant number 16/11/00420] and Instituto de Salud Carlos III-FEDER, Madrid, Spain Background Frail elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases are vulnerable and more likely to experience physical function decline. Of the interventions that have shown some efficacy in the management of frailty, exercise is the only treatment found to consistently improve physical function. Since the number of older persons with cardiac diseases is gradually increasing, understanding how therapeutic exercise might be succes…
Physical function and frailty in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome
2021
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main funding source(s): This work was supported by grants from CIBER CV, Madrid, Spain [grant number 16/11/00420] and Instituto de Salud Carlos III-FEDER, Madrid, Spain. Background Frailty is described a complex clinical syndrome of increased vulnerability to stressors that places the individual at increased risk of adverse health outcomes. It results from multiple impairments (among others, in physical functioning) and its severity ranges from mild to severe. In older cardiac patients, frailty is reported to be a significant and an independent predictor of functional decline. Purpose To analy…
The performance of thin-film Li-ion batteries under flexural deflection
2006
A method is introduced to study the effects of flexural deformation on the electrical performance of thin-film lithium-ion batteries. Flexural deformation of thin films is of interest to engineers for applications that can be effective in conformal spaces in conjunction with multi-functional composite laminates in structural members under mechanical deflections such as thin airfoils used in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A test fixture was designed and built using rapid prototyping techniques. A baseline reference charge/discharge cycle was initially obtained with the device in its un-flexed state, in order to later contrast the performance of the thin-film battery when subjected to defle…

Studio storico-critico di un elemento architettonico scultoreo del 1577 esposto nel Museo d'Arte sacra di Alcamo
1983-1985. Sagunto y la batalla de Altos Hornos del Mediterráneo (AHM). 430 días de conflicto por la reconversión industrial.
2014
El conflicto más grave de la etapa provisional de la Generalitat provisional y la Iª legislatura socialista en la recién estrenada autonomía vendría marcado por la Reconversión Siderúrgica Integral que decretaba el Ministerio de Industria Energía, y que afectaba a Altos Hornos del Mediterráneo (AHM), empresa situada en Sagunto y que incidía económica y socialmente en toda la comarca valenciana del Camp de Morvedre, y en el sector industrial de la Comunidad valenciana. El conflicto lo heredaba el PSOE, al no haberlo solucionado UCD durante sus años de gobierno. No era un conflicto reciente, sino que se arrastraba desde los años setenta, si bien le explotó con toda virulencia al recién creado…
Effect of Temperature on N2O and NO Emission in a Partial Nitrification SBR Treating Reject Wastewater
2017
Temperature is a very important parameter during nitritation, having a direct effect on ammonia oxidation rate (AOR) and enzymatic activities which relate to both N2O and NO emission. This study aims at investigating the effect of temperature on AOR, N2O and NO production in an enriched ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) sequencing batch reactor (SBR) performing partial nitrification (PN) of synthetic reject wastewater. To achieve that, a SBR was subject to several shifts in temperature (in the range of 30 to 15 °C, 5 °C for each decrease). Cycle studies, which contain two aeration phases, were conducted under each temperature. The results showed that AOR specific exponentially correlates wit…
Amorphous Silicon Nanotubes via Galvanic Displacement Deposition
2013
Amorphous silicon nanotubes were grown in a single step into a polycarbonate membrane by a galvanic displacement reaction conducted in aqueous solution. In order to optimize the process, a specifically designed galvanic cell was used. SEM images, after polycarbonate dissolution, showed interconnected nanotube bundles with an average length of 18 μm and wall thickness of 38 nm.The deposited silicon was revealed by EDS analysis, whilst X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy showed that nanotubes have an amorphous structure. Silicon nanotubes were also characterized by photo-electrochemical measurements that showed n-type conductivity and optical gap of ~1.6 eV. Keywords: Silicon nanotubes, …
ZnO nanorod arrays fabrication via chemical bath deposition: Ligand concentration effect study
2010
A new ligand, N, N, N', N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, has been used to grow ZnO nanorods on silicon substrates via a two steps approach. A preliminary seeding on silicon substrates has been combined with chemical bath deposition using a Zinc acetate - N, N, N', N'-tetramethylethylenediamine aqueous solution. The used diamino ligand has been selected as Zn(2+) complexing agent and the related hydrolysis generates the reacting ions (Zn(2-) and OH(-)) responsible for the ZnO growth. The seed layer has been annealed at low temperature (<200 degrees C) and the ZnO nanorods have been grown on this ZnO amorphous layer. There is experimental evidence that the ligand concentration (ranging from 5 t…
