Effects of Rapid Weight Reduction on Force Production and Vertical Jumping Height
1987
The effects of three weight reduction methods on maximal strength, rate of force development, vertical jumping height, and mechanical power were studied in track and field athletes and volleyball players. The three methods were sauna, diet with diuretic, and diuretic alone. The reductions in weight achieved were 3.4%, 5.8%, and 3.8% of body weight after sauna, diet + diuretic, and diuretic, respectively (P less than 0.001). Maximal isometric leg strength and the rate of isometric force development were decreased after the sauna and diet + diuretic treatments. Dehydration caused by the diuretic method alone did not impair neuromuscular performances. As had been expected from theoretical calc…
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>…
DNA fluorescence induced by polymethine cation pyrvinium binding
1991
Pyrvinium is a polymethine cation which shows interesting fluorescence emission and DNA binding properties. In diluted aqueous solution, pyrvinium pamoate induced a bright yellow fluorescence in kinetoplast DNA from Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes as well as in chicken erythrocyte nuclei under a wide range of excitations. No fading was observed after mounting in suitable media. Spectroscopic studies on pyrvinium solutions revealed bathochromic and hypochromic shifts in the absorption spectrum of its complex with DNA. A striking enhancement of pyrvinium fluorescence was found in solvents of high viscosity or after binding to DNA. Experimental results and the chemical structure of pyrvinium a…
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…
Urbanismo en la Marca Oriental de al-Andalus durante el Califato (940-974) : el ejemplo de madina Turtusa a través de las fuentes arqueológicas y esc…
2021
En este texto presentaremos las principales reformas que en la ciudad de ?ur??sa y su entorno mas inmediato se llevaron a cabo durante las decadas centrales del siglo X. Entendemos que el periodo comprendido entre los anos 940 y 974 supusieron un lapso de relativa estabilidad a ambos lados de la frontera entre al-Andalus y los condados catalanes. Es durante este momento cuando situamos una especialmente remarcable actividad por parte del Estado, a traves de los gobernadores de la ciudad, de refuerzo de las estructuras defensivas y arquitectonicas dentro del ambito urbano y periurbano. Analizaremos los casos de las murallas o el arsenal a nivel militar y la mezquita aljama o los banos en cua…
Variabilité architecturale du test chez le genre Collyrites (Echinoidea, Disasteroidea) au Jurassique moyen.
2007
Resume L’evolution de l’architecture du test et en particulier celle du « complexe systeme apical–periprocte » chez le genre Collyrites (Echinoidea, Disasteroidea) est analysee pour les especes des etages Bathonien et Callovien (Jurassique moyen) provenant de plusieurs localites du bassin de Paris. Le systeme apical du genre Collyrites est subdivise en deux parties : (i) une partie anterieure, denommee trivium, composee de quatre plaques genitales (1, 2, 3, 4) et de trois plaques ocellaires (II ; III ; IV) ; (ii) une partie posterieure, denommee bivium, composee de deux plaques ocellaires (I, V) et d’une plaque genitale (5), sans gonopore et non fonctionnelle, entourant le periprocte. Le pa…
Effect of different hydrothermal vent conditions in the proteome of vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus

The mytilid mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus is the most representative species of north Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) hydrothermal vents and is abundantly found at Menez-Gwen, Lucky Strike and Rainbow vent sites. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
Biphenyl derivatives containing trimethylsilyl benzyl ether or oxime groups as probes for NO2 detection
2016
[EN] Four probes based in the use of a biphenyl moiety and functionalized with trimethylsilyl benzyl ether (P1 and P3) and oxime (P2 and P4) groups have been prepared and tested as optical probes for the detection of NO2. Reaction of NO2 with acetonitrile solutions of P2-P4 resulted in the formation of aldehydes 7 and 8 with a concomitant redshift of the absorption bands. Probe P2 displayed a bathochromic shift of 45 nm upon reaction with NO2 and was able to detect this poisonous gas at concentrations as low as 0.02 ppm. P2 was highly selective against NO2 and other gases (i.e. NO, CO2, H2S, SO2) and vapours of organic solvents (i.e. acetone, hexane, chloroform, acetonitrile or toluene) had…
La disciplina delle concessioni balneari e l’evaporazione del diritto liquido
2023
Nel contributo si riconsidera il complesso scenario creatosi a seguito degli ultimi sviluppi in materia di rinnovo delle concessioni demaniali marittime con finalità turistico-ricreative. Sintetizzati degli eventi più significativi che hanno interessato il settore, si riflette sul futuro della disciplina delle concessioni balneari alla luce dello scontro frontale tra gli obiettivi perseguiti dal legislatore nazionale e gli obblighi pro-concorrenziali di matrice europea promossi dalla giurisprudenza amministrativa. This contribution aims to provide some considerations on the complex scenario created as a result of the latest developments in the field of maritime state concessions for tourist…
