The purpose of this study was to evaluate the muscle synergy of collegiate rowers during 6 min maximal rowing on different stretcher mechanisms: fixed (FE) and slides ergometer (SE). The association of muscle synergy to rowing economy and physiological variables was further quantify by statistical analysis. Method: Ten collegiate rowers were recruited at the end of their competitive season. Mus...

The aim of the study was to evaluate whether the addition of activated carbon in the photocatalytic oxidation of biologically pretreated greywater and of a polar aliphatic compound gives synergy, as previously demonstrated with phenol. Photocatalytic oxidation kinetics were recorded with fivefold concentrated biologically pretreated greywater and with aqueous tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether...

Analysis of the interactive effects of combinations of hormones or other manipulations with qualitatively similar individual effects is an important topic in basic and clinical endocrinology as well as other branches of basic and clinical research related to integrative physiology. Functional, as opposed to mechanistic, analyses of interactions rely on the concept of synergy, which can be defin...

In this work, we address the issue of exploiting the synergy between different modalities to facilitate Internet information retrieval. It is well-known that information typically exists jointly in different modalities, and this is true for information in the Internet. We intend to demonstrate that exploiting the synergy between the different modalities of the information may enhance the inform...

BACKGROUND Incomplete endothelialization is the primary substrate of late stent thrombosis; however, recent reports have revealed that abnormal vascular responses are also responsible for the occurrence of late stent failure. The aim of the current study was to assess vascular response following deployment of biodegradable polymer-based Synergy (Boston Scientific) and Nobori (Terumo) drug-eluti...

Promoting synergy creation of technology in industrial cluster is the key of advancing innovation ability and technology level. The technology innovation of industrial cluster is synergy innovation process, according to the analysis for activities of innovation. And the paper explains the synergy process of cluster innovation activities. The process includes: technological decision and concept ...

“Cognitive synergy”– a dynamic in which multiple cognitive processes, cooperating to control the same cognitive system, assist each other in overcoming bottlenecks encountered during their internal processing. – has been posited as a key feature of real-world general intelligence, and has been used explicitly in the design of the OpenCog cognitive architecture. Here category theory and related ...

Virtual Synergy is a three-dimensional environment for collaboration between humans, software agents and robots. We have created several tools to enable the use of Virtual Synergy as a viable tool for classroom instruction as well as research work. We have created software to enable robots to work inside of a three-dimensional environment of Virtual Synergy as well as libraries for agent creati...

This study analyses self-rated health and non-employment and potential synergy effects among lone and couple mothers aged 25-59 in Britain, Sweden and Italy, representing different family policy categories using data from national surveys (2000-2005). Synergy effects on health were calculated by synergy index. Non-employment only marginally contributed to the excess risk of poor health among lo...
