Galaxy spectral energy distribution (SED) modelling is a powerful tool, but constraining how well it is able to infer the true values for galaxy properties (e.g. the star formation rate, SFR) is difficult because independent determinations are often not available. However, galaxy simulations can provide a means of testing SED modelling techniques. Here, we present a numerical experiment in whic...

We examined the effect of early exercise training (Ex) on glucose kinetics, basal, and insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle (SKM) plasma membrane (PM) GLUT4 in pre- and/or postnatal nutrient-restricted adult rat offspring compared with sedentary (Sed) state. Pregestational control female (Ex CON vs. Sed CON) and offspring exposed to prenatal (Ex IUGR vs. Sed IUGR), postnatal (Ex PNGR vs. Sed PNGR...

Based on the American Society of Anesthesiologists' Practice Guidelines for Sedation and Analgesia by Non-Anesthesiologists (ASA-SED), a sedation training course aimed at improving medical safety was developed by the Japanese Association for Medical Simulation in 2011. This study evaluated the effect of debriefing on participants' perceptions of the essential points of the ASA-SED. A total of 3...

Background and Aims. This study examined if exercise and omega-3 fatty acid (n3PUFA) supplementation is an effective treatment for hepatic steatosis in obese, hyperphagic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats. Methods. Male OLETF rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 8/group): (1) remained sedentary (SED), (2) access to running wheels; (EX) (3) a diet supplemented with 3% of energy from...

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of exercise training and L-arginine supplementation on oxidative stress and systolic ventricular function in rats with myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: Four weeks after the surgically-induced MI, 40 male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to the following 4 groups (n=10): MI-sedentary control (Sed) MI-exercise (Ex) MI-...

A method for using the sub-millimeter band to determine photometric red-shifts of luminous high-z dusty galaxies is presented. It is based on the observation that local ultra-luminous IR galaxies show an average spectral energy distribution which has a remarkably small dispersion for wavelengths λ > 50µm. The shape of the long wavelength part is independent on whether the local ULIRG possesses ...

In trecvid 2012, our team takes part in 2 event detection competition including embrace and pointing. We build two systems to recognize these events separately. For embracing, we use a probability accumulated method. For pointing, we use texture and silhouette. Different from the former works, the two systems are interactive systems and feedback strategy is used in the detection of events. In t...

ABSTRACT The combination of the MOSDEF and KBSS-MOSFIRE surveys represents largest joint investment Keck/MOSFIRE time to date, with ∼3000 galaxies at 1.4 ≲ z 3.8, roughly half which are ∼ 2. is photometric- spectroscopic-redshift selected a rest-optical magnitude limit, while primarily based on rest-UV colours limit. Analysing both in uniform manner consistent spectral-energy-distribution (SED)...

The incidence of obesity in children and adolescents, which may lead to type 2 diabetes, is increasing. Exercise is recommended to prevent and improve diabetes. However, little is known about the bone marrow environment at the onset of diabetes in the young, and it is unclear whether exercise training is useful for maintaining bone homeostasis, such as mechanical and histological properties. Th...
