BACKGROUND To test if the critical power (CP) concept can be utilized to determine the critical rest interval (CRI) using repeated sprint ability (RSA) testing with varying work-to-rest ratios. METHODS Twelve recreationally trained men (mean±SD; age 24.1±3.6 years) completed a graded exercise test and three RSA protocols with 6-second maximal sprints and varying rest intervals (12-36 s) on a ...

A source of illumination with good color properties, daylight or electric, should reveal a full range of colors, should enable good color discrimination between objects of similar spectral reflectance, and should not distort colors. We presently have only one recognized measure of color rendering in the lighting industry, color rendering index (CRI), developed in the early 1960s. However, CRI s...

One of the goals of psychological assessment focuses on the adaptation of its instruments to different populations. The objective of this study is to establish the psychometric properties and dimensional structure of the Spanish version of the Coping Responses Inventory-Adult Form (CRI-Adult, Moos, 1993). The following criteria were analyzed: a) descriptive statistics; b) internal consistency r...

Black Americans experience a disproportionate burden of ESRD compared with whites. Whether this is caused by the increased prevalence of chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) among blacks or by their increased progression from CRI to ESRD was investigated. A birth cohort analysis was performed using data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the United States Renal Dat...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between injection cocaine use, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and chronic renal impairment (CRI). DESIGN Prospective observational cohort study of HIV-HCV coinfected patients. METHODS Data from 1129 participants in the Canadian Co-Infection Cohort with baseline and follow-up serum creatinine measurements between 2003 and 2014 were analyzed. Prevalent...

A generalization of the known results in fusion frames and $g$-frames theory to continuous fusion frames which defined by M. H. Faroughi and R. Ahmadi, is presented in this study. Continuous resolution of the identity (CRI) is introduced, a new family of CRI is constructed, and a number of reconstruction formulas are obtained. Also, new results are given on the duality of continuous fusion fram...

In murine Schistosoma mansoni infections, schistosome-specific cross-reactive idiotypes (CRI) are present in the sera of mice with moderate splenomegaly syndrome (MSS) at 20 wk after infection. In contrast, sera from animals that have the more severe hypersplenomegaly syndrome (HSS) at 20 wk of infection do not express these CRI in their sera. To examine when these regulatory CRI first appear i...

Background: Response rates such as overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) and complete response with incomplete blood recovery (CRi) can be evaluated in a much shorter period of time than overall survival (OS), potentially accelerating decision making during drug development. The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between ORR, CR, CRi or better (CRi+CR) rates a...

In addition to the changes in various biochemical parameters chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) leads to progressive behavioral disturbances both in humans and rats. To further characterize these changes, the present study aimed to investigate locomotor, exploratory and emotional activity of rats with experimental CRI. Our experiments with the open field test have shown a marked decrease in loco...
