The aim of the present study was to determine the reproducibility of measurement of resting metabolic rate (RMR) using a ventilated-hood indirect calorimeter in children using a short protocol suitable for the outpatient setting or home visit. The protocol consisted of an overnight (10-12 h) fast, 5-10 min supine rest, 5-10 min 'settling in' under the ventilated hood, and 12-16 min of measureme...

The resting metabolic rates (R(R)) of western North Atlantic Ocean sciaenids, such as Atlantic croaker Micropogonias undulatus, spot Leiostomus xanthurus and kingfishes Menticirrhus spp., as well as the active metabolic rates (R(A)) of M. undulatus and L. xanthurus were investigated to facilitate inter and intraspecific comparisons of their energetic ecology. The R(R) of M. undulatus and L. xan...

The author examined whether respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) responses to stress predicted resting RSA approximately 3 years later in children and adolescents. A total of 149 children and adolescents (49% girls and women, 44% African Americans) participated in 2 laboratory protocols approximately 3 years apart. RSA reactivity during tasks was consistent within participants across tasks during...

The purpose of the present study was to compare resting heart rate and exercise efficiency smokers non-smokers. In conducted researcher taken Fifty (n=50) subjects, each twenty five (25) non-smokers from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, between age group 18–25 years. To know difference Resting Heart Rate Exercise non-smokers, selected following two cardio respiratory parameters (RHR) (EHR). Mean, ...

Functional connectivity refers to correlations between spatially remote neurophysiological events as described by Friston & Büchel. Functional connectivity is simply a statement about the observed correlations and does not imply how the correlation is mediated. Effective connectivity is closer to inter-neuronal connectivity as it refers to influence that one neuronal system exerts over another ...

Background/Purpose: In the context of the European Biodiversity policy, the Green Infrastructure Strategy is one supporting tool to mitigate fragmentation, inter-alia to increase the spatial and functional connectivity between protected and unprotected areas. The Joint Research Centre has developed an integrated model to provide a macro-scale set of indices to evaluate the connectivity of the N...
