this study attempts to answer the question of distinguishing appropriate intensity measure parameter for performance-based design or assessment, taking into account the efficiency aspect. the comprehensive comparative tables proposed in this paper could be an effective support in the decision making procedure for intensity measure selection, comprising most of the frequently utilized intensity ...

Averaged auditory evoked vertex responses were obtained from eight normal-hearing sub~cts in response to 32 monaural 1000-Hz tone bursts at 30 combinations of recovery period and stimulus intensity. From curves describing N1-P2 peak-to-peak amplitudes, an equation was derived that describes the combined effects of recovery period and stimulus intensity on evoked response ampfitude. The results ...

The effect of exercise intensity on skeletal muscle AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling and substrate metabolism was examined in eight men cycling for 20 min at each of three sequential intensities: low (40 +/- 2% VO(2) peak), medium (59 +/- 1% VO(2) peak), and high (79 +/- 1% VO(2) peak). Muscle free AMP/ATP ratio only increased at the two higher exercise intensities (P < 0.05). AMPK...

Laboratory measurements of the upward intensity distribution in young thin sea ice illustrate the variation of this distribution and peak intensity with growth temperature and ice thickness.

We study numerically the nonlinear magneto-optical rotation of polarization (NMOR) of the laser pulse during its propagation through a cold Rb cloud with induced Zeeman coherences and electromagnetically induced transparency. Evolution of NMOR is calculated by solving the Maxwell–Bloch equations. We consider a linearly polarized Gaussian pulse with different pulse peak amplitudes and widths. Fo...
