Effects of differential relevance of external stimuli on heart rate under food deprivation
1972
Ss were deprived of food for 24 h, after which heart rate (HR) was recorded with food placed before the Ss and also after they had eaten it. It was predicted, according to Malmo’s interaction hypothesis, that HR in both situations would be higher than at a control level but that the increase after food ingestion would be greater than that found in the presence of visual cues. The results did not wholly support these predictions. Only after eating were significant HR increases found. Possible reasons for the discrepancies between findings in this area were discussed.
Multi-agent control architecture for RFID cyberphysical robotic systems initial validation of tagged objects detection and identification using Playe…
2016
International audience; The objective of this paper is to describe and validate a multi-agent architecture proposed to control RFID Cyber-Physical Robotic Systems. This environment may contain human operators, robots (mobiles, manipulators, mobile manipulators, etc.), places (workrooms, walls, etc.) and other objects (tables, chairs, etc.). The proposed control architecture is composed of two types of agents dispatched on two levels. We find at the Organization level a Supervisory agent to allow operators to configure, manage and interact with the overall control system. At the Control level, we distinguish the Robots agents, to each robot (mobiles, manipulators or mobile manipulators) is a…
Regional glucose uptake and protein synthesis in isolated perfused rat hearts immediately after training and later
1987
The effect of 10 weeks of running training and termination of training on the regional distribution of cardiac glucose uptake and protein synthesis were studied in isolated perfused hearts in male rats. The left ventricular glucose uptake in hearts from sedentary rats was 1.87 +/- 0.14 mumol/min per g protein (mean +/- SE), being about 30% higher in the subendocardial than in the subepicardial layer (p less than 0.05). The gradient of left ventricular glucose uptake was similar to the controls in the rats retired from training, but was absent in the trained animals. The altered transmural glucose uptake probably reflects differences in the adaptive response of various myocardial muscle laye…
Blood pressure control in treated hypertensive patients in daily practice of Latvian family physicians.
2011
Background and Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate blood pressure (BP) control level in treated hypertensive patients in Latvia and to compare their characteristics according to the adequacy of BP control. Materials and Methods. Family physicians collected information on demographic and clinical characteristics, and current antihypertensive treatment of 455 18–80-year-old patients with essential arterial hypertension treated for 1 or more years. Target BP was defined as values of <140/90 mm Hg for patients with low or moderate cardiovascular risk and <135/85–125/75 mm Hg for patients with high or very high risk. BP was measured in the office setting after a 5-minute rest …
