Copyright © 2022 by the authors. Background: International organizations recommend initiating breastfeeding within the first hour of life and maintaining exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. However, worldwide rates of exclusive breastfeeding for 6-month-old infants is far from meeting the goal proposed by the World Health Organization, which is to reach a minimum of 50% of infants. Education is one of the factors affecting the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding, and incidentall…

NREM Sleep Instability in Pediatric Migraine Without Aura

2019

Children with migraine headaches appear to have a range of sleep disturbances. The aim of the present study was to assess the NREM sleep instability in a population of school-aged individuals affected by migraine without aura (MoA). Thirty-three children with MoA (20 males, 13 females, mean age 10.45 ± 2.06 years) underwent to overnight Polysomnographic (PSG) recordings and Cyclic Alternating Pattern (CAP) analyses accordingly with international criteria. MoA group showed a reduction in sleep duration parameters (TIB, SPT, TST; p ≤ 0.001 for all) and in arousal index during REM sleep and an increase in awakenings per hour (AWK/h) vs. Controls (C) (p = 0.008). In particular, MoA children sho…

The Relationship Between a Baby's Age and Sleepiness in a Sample of Mothers

2021

One question of great practical importance for the parents, and especially the mother, after the birth of a baby, refers to how long the time during which they have to go with less and more fragmented sleep actually lasts. Most of the studies only explore this issue up to 6 months of the newborn's life, and less is known about the sleep problems the mothers may have after this initial period. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the sleep disruption and daytime sleepiness of mothers with infants until 2 years old compared to a group of women currently not at care of babies. To this end, a sample of 113 women, 67 currently bringing up a baby of under 2 years old…

Vibrationssignale bei der Paarung vonPanorpa (Mecoptera/Insecta)

1974

Male and female ofPanorpa find each other for copulation by vibration signals, which they produce through up and downward movements with the end of the abdomen. The frequency is about 100 Hz/sec, the duration 1 to 10 sec.

Der Einfluss von Acetylcholin auf den Calciumumsatz ruhender und kontrahierender Vorhofmuskulaturin vitro

1964

Acetylcholine 5 × 10−8 g/ml reduces the Ca45 uptake of the beating left atria of guinea-pig; the tissue calcium is not altered. In resting atria, acetylcholine 5 × 10−7 g/ml has no influence upon the calcium content and Ca45 uptake. It is concluded that acetylcholine acts by shortening the action potential duration and thereby reduces the release of cellular calcium per excitation.

GRB 101225A - a new class of GRBs?

2012

AbstractThe Christmas burst, GRB 101225A, was one of the most controversial bursts in the last few years. Its exceptionally long duration but bright X-ray emission showing a thermal component followed by a strange afterglow with a thermal SED lead to two different interpretations. We present here our model ascribing this strange event to a new type of GRB progenitor consisting of a neutron star and an evolved main-sequence star in a very faint galaxy at redshift 0.33 while Campana et al. (2011) proposed a Galactic origin. New observations at several wavelengths might resolve the question between the two models in the near future.

Nonlinear spectral compression in fibre as a power-limiting device

2017

Spectral compression (SC) by self-phase modulation in optical fibre has been known for a long time and has since been reported for various parameters [1]. In this paper, we analyse the impact of amplitude fluctuations and a degraded optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the seed pulses on the SC process by means of extensive nonlinear Schrodinger equation numerical simulation. Remarkably, our results show that the SC is rather stable against these pulse degradation factors, thereby revealing its potential for use in the context of optical regeneration of intensity-modulated signals. We therefore propose an optical scheme combining SC with an optical bandpass filter (OBPF) centred at the c…
