Purpose: To compare performance and physiological responses between a standard-paced 3-minute time trial (TT_SP, ie, pacing based on normal intention) and a consistently all-out-paced 3-minute time trial (TTAOP). <p> <p>Methods: Sixteen well-trained male cyclists completed the TT_SP and TT_AOP, on separate days of testing, on a cycling ergometer with power output and ...

Purpose: To critically appraise the utility of heart rate (HR) and power output (PO) to predict metabolic rate (MR) and oxygen consumption ( ˙ V O 2 ) during variable-intensity roller skiing and cycling. Methods: National-level cyclists (n = 8) and cross-country skiers (n = 9) completed a preliminary session to determine ˙ V O 2 max , and a variable-intensity protocol with 3 high-intensity ...

Nannochloropsis gaditana is a promising microalga for biotechnology. One of the strategies to stimulate its full potential in metabolite production is exposure to flashing lights. Here, we report how N. gaditana adapts to different flashing light regimes (5, 50, and 500 Hz) by changing its cellular physiology and the relative expression of genes related to critical cellular functions. We analyzed ...

Enterococci are gram-positive commensals in the human gut microbiota that may cause severe infections, especially in immunocompromised and hospitalised patients. Their ability to accumulate antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes has been vital in their evolution into leading pathogens. Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) are among the most important resistant pathogens causing outbreaks ...

Background: Research on the use of digital technologies for delivering behavioral interventions has shown mixed evidence on their efficacy for improving both autistic symptoms and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. Little knowledge exists on the specific use or efficacy of using social media in interventions aimed at autistic individuals. <p><p>Objective: To review and describe the current existing ...

This article contributes to Construction Grammar, historical linguistics, and Russian linguistics through an in-depth corpus study of predicate agreement in constructions with quantified subjects. Statistical analysis of approximately 39,000 corpus examples indicates that these constructions constitute a network of con- structions (“allostructions”) with various preferences for singular or plural ...

The 1918–20 pandemic influenza killed 50–100 million people worldwide, but mortality varied by ethnicity and geography. In Norway, areas dominated by Sámi experienced 3–5 times higher mortality than the country’s average. We here use data from burial registers and censuses to calculate all-cause excess mortality by age and wave in two remote Sámi areas of Norway 1918– 20. We hypothesise that geographic ...

Climate change may affect reindeer herding and the health and disease of reindeer in several ways. One way of mitigating such changes is supplementary feeding, both in corrals and by bringing fodder to the animals on natural pastures. Feeding, when the right feed and feeding regime are used, may compensate for the loss of natural pastures and increase animal welfare. However, feeding may also cause ...

En redegjørelse og vurdering av føringene som kan utledes av EMDs avgjørelser mot Norge i saker om adopsjon.

The years 2021-2030 have been declared by the United Nations (UN) both as the UN Decade on Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development1 and as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration2. As a crossway between those two major ambitions for the upcoming years, the present thesis aims at building bridges between the general law of the sea and the law of ecological restoration by examining the potential ...
