The effect of humid heat acclimation on thermoregulatory responses to humid and dry exercise-heat stress was studied in six exercise-trained Thoroughbred horses. Horses were heat acclimated by performing moderate-intensity exercise for 21 days in heat and humidity (HH) [34.2-35.7 degrees C; 84-86% relative humidity (RH); wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index approximately 32 degrees C]. Horse...

Vacuity detection is a method for finding errors in the modelchecking process when the specification is found to hold in the model. Most vacuity algorithms are based on checking the effect of applying mutations on the specification. It has been recognized that vacuity results differ in their significance. While in many cases vacuity results are valued as highly informative, there are also cases...

ABSTRACT We study dynamics of relativistic coronal mass ejections (CMEs), from launching by shearing foot-points (either slowly – the ‘Solar flare’ paradigm, or suddenly ‘star quake’ paradigm), to propagation in preceding magnetar wind. For slow shear, most energy injected into CME is first spent on work done breaking through overlaying magnetic field. At later stages, sufficiently powerful CME...

We have identified in organic solvent extracts of whole cells of the gram-positive pathogen Rhodococcus equi two channel-forming proteins with different and complementary properties. The isolated proteins were able to increase the specific conductance of artificial lipid bilayer membranes made from phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylserine mixtures by the formation of channels able to be permeated...

derivation is consistent with the notion of abstract graph, i.e., any abstract derivation should start from an abstract graph and should end in an abstract graph. De nition 27 (well-de ned equivalences). For each abstract derivation [ ], de ne ([ ]) = f ( 0) j 0 2 [ ]g, and similarly ([ ]) = f ( 0) j 0 2 [ ]g. Then equivalence is well-de ned if for each derivation : G ) H we have that ([ ]) = [...

In this paper, empirical relations for the evaluation of both the resonant frequency fr and the quality factor Q for the dominant TM010 mode of a circular substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity resonator are proposed and validated. These formulas are based on well established analytical expressions valid for the case of circular metallic cavity resonator, in which an equivalent radius Req ...

Background Accurate identification of serious injury is critical to the tasking of scarce resources like air ambulances and for the effective triage of injured patients to trauma centres. This service dispatches a doctor-paramedic team to major trauma patients. Dispatch is based on mechanism of injury (MOI); dispatching control room paramedic interrogation of caller (INT) or request after asses...

Yes Vote Message: a cohort receives a VOTE REQ, and it responds by sending a yes or no vote message (Yes or NO VOTE, Yes Vote also known as PREPARED message) to the coordinator (Shanker, Misra, & Sarje, 2009a) Yet Another Workflow Language (YAWL): a process modelling and execution language based on the workflow patterns and Petri nets. YAWL is also the name of the corresponding workflow system ...
