Objective: Habitual walking is important for health and can be measured with accelerometry, but accelerometry does not measure physiological effort relative to capacity. We compared accelerometer-measured absolute intensity electromyography (EMG)-measured muscle activity between people low versus excellent aerobic fitness levels during their habitual walking. Methods: Forty volunteers (19 women...

Dracocephalum moldavica L. is an annual species of Lamiacea family whose essential oil is widely used in medicinal, food, cosmetic and health industries. Drought stress is a major factor limiting plants growth and yield. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of irrigation regime on essential oil content and composition of D. moldavica L. The Irrigation regimes were 100%...

Informal economics is a field of study which applies to every state in the world. The dynamics of this “shadow” economy infiltrate the entirety of markets, affecting governments, citizens, producers, and consumers. As a result of this deep infiltration, a significant amount of resources have been committed to unraveling the mysteries of the informal economy. Over the course of the last two deca...

We provide lower and upper bounds on the information transmission capacity of one single use of a classical-quantum channel. The lower bound is expressed in terms of the Hoe ding capacity, that we de ne similarly to the Holevo capacity, but replacing the relative entropy with the Hoe ding distance. Similarly, our upper bound is in terms of a quantity obtained by replacing the relative entropy w...
