動揺映像の物理的特徴量と動揺認知量との関係(視聴覚技術,ヒューマンインタフェースおよび一般)

Background: Previous research has individually investigated how different types of training affect the physical, physiological, and training characteristics of distance runners. However, there is a lack of studies that collectively examine the effects of interval and power training programs on these factors in trained distance runners. Objectives: This study aims to provide a more comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of how combined training approaches may impact the physical, physiological, and training characteristics of competitive distance runners. Methods: A census sampling approach was used, with all 108 athletes (100%) participating in the study. Participants were divided into three parallel training groups: The interval training group (ITG), the power training group (PTG), and the control training group (CTG). Each group contained 36 participants, and a randomized block design was implemented within each group, with 12 athletes in each block. The intervention lasted for 32 weeks, with three training sessions per week, on non-consecutive days, lasting 45 - 60 minutes per session. The intensity of the training sessions was maintained between 50 - 70% of the participants' exercise capacity. The measured physical characteristics included demographic and anthropometric variables such as age, sex, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), fat and fat-free mass, and various circumferences. The physiological characteristics assessed included resting heart rate, exercise heart rate, maximum oxygen consumption, measures of leg strength (LS) and power, endurance performance metrics such as time trials (TTs), and aerobic thresholds. The training characteristics assessed included living and training altitude, training habits, training experience, training volume, training sessions, recovery practices, and nutritional intake. Statistical significance was determined with a P-value of < 0.05, and effect size was calculated (η² > 0.14). Results: Interval and power training led to improvements in several physical characteristics, including chronological age (P = 0.02), Body Mass Index (P = 0.03), fat-free mass (P = 0.000), and maximum thigh circumference (P = 0.000). However, no significant changes were observed in certain physical characteristics such as sex, field, and weight (P = 1.000). Interval and power training also resulted in significant improvements in various physiological characteristics, including 400 m sprint performance (P = 0.000), 1.5 km Kosmin test (P = 0.000), 3 km maximum speed TT (P = 0.000), LS (P = 0.000), Sprint Bounding Index (SBI) (P = 0.000), and maximum exercise heart rate (P = 0.000). In contrast, the post-test (POT) results for the ITG and PTG groups, when compared to the CTG, showed no significant differences in certain areas of physiological characteristics, including Balke V̇O2Max (P = 0.000), leg press (P = 0.000), and squat (p = 0.000). Regarding the third subgroup analysis of training characteristics, all POT results showed a decrease, except for the habit of sleeping (P = 0.04). In general, the POT results of the CTG demonstrated less change in all subgroup analyses of performance indices compared to the ITG and PTG. Conclusions: Our key findings emphasize the importance of combined interval and power training in improving V̇O2Max, overall strength endurance, speed endurance, running economy (RE), and muscle adaptation compared to the control group. These factors are vital for enhancing physical and physiological characteristics. Future research should explore additional factors, such as nutrition and psychological needs, which may influence athletic performance.

This study aimed to investigate the consistency of attacking tactical and technical behaviour, and physical characteristics, over multiple bouts, and variability across days, of a specific rugby union forwards small-sided game (SSG). Data was collected from 21 professional rugby union forwards during four training sessions. The SSG, consisting of five bouts of work (150-s) interspersed by passive recovery (75-s), aimed to elicit specific attacking tactical behaviour. Tactical behaviour (i.e., regularity of attacking shape [entropy]), and technical (e.g., passes) and physical (e.g., total distance) characteristics were quantified. Results showed that technical characteristics remained consistent, whereas the regularity of width of the attacking shape and two physical characteristics (i.e., total distance, training impulse) varied across bouts. However, these effects had limited practical significance. Technical characteristics were consistent across days, but minimal variability was observed for tactical behaviour and physical characteristics, as shown by their small random effects with 95% profile likelihood confidence intervals (PLCI) including zero (e.g., SD[95%PLCI] = 0.03[0.00, 0.06]). Consequently, consistency of stimulus over bouts and days is achievable for the majority of the variables investigated, thus supporting the use of SSG to elicit consistent attacking behaviour, but also technical and physical characteristics in rugby union forwards.

Fermented soybean sprouted milk (yogurt) has components that play a role in health. The physical and functional characteristics of soybean sprouted milk yogurt can be improved by the addition of local ingredients, including green grass leaf . This study aims to determine the effect of adding green grass leaf extract on fiber content, antioxidant activity , the physical and sensory characteristics of soybean sprouted yogurt. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments, namely the proportion of addition of grass leaf extract: 1, 3, 5, and 7 percent and 1 control without the addition of love leaf extract. Repetitions were carried out 5 times. Analyzes were carried out on the levels of fiber, antioxidants, physical characteristics (pH and viscosity) and sensory (color, aroma, taste and consistency) of yogurt. The results showed that the addition of green grass jelly leaf extract to soybean sprouted milk yogurt had an effect on fiber content, antioxidant activity and physical characteristics (pH and viscosity) but green did not affect sensory characteristics.

Biometrics are physical or behavior characteristics of human that can be used to identify someone. One form of physical characteristics possessed by humans is fingerprints, retinal scanning, face and hand geometry, while one form of behavioral characteristics possessed by humans is handwriting, signatures, mouse usage analysis, walking patterns, etc. Basically, physical characteristics are more easily observed than behavioral characteristics. Therefore, physical characteristics are more often used in many aspects of security. One of the most common physical characteristics is face. By seeing the face, we can find out or predict how old they are, their gender and even their expression. However, there are still many mistakes in predicting a gender through person’s face. In fact, there are still many crimes in falsifying self-identity (such as gender). So, we need a method that is able to classify identity (gender) based on a person’s face appropriately. One method that can be used is Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Later, CNNs will classify a person’s gender (male / female) based on a person’s face image data. And based on.

Overexpression of the HER2/neu protooncogene has been shown to correlate with poor clinical prognosis. A murine monoclonal antibody (4D5) directed against the extracellular domain (ECD) of p185HER2 has been shown to inhibit in vitro and in vivo growth of carcinomas overexpressing HER2 and has been humanized (rhuMAb HER2). The objective of the study was the identification of an agent which might be useful for in vitro studies, tumor imaging and/or radioimmunotherapy by linking beta-emitting radionuclides to these HER2-targeted antibodies. Murine 4D5 and humanized rhuMAb HER2 were radiolabeled with 125I, 131I or 186Re. Physical characteristics (TCA precipitability, SDS-PAGE, size exclusion chromatography), binding affinities to the HER2 ECD (in an ELISA and on SK-BR-3 cells) and antiproliferative activities of the radiolabeled antibodies were determined. Although 131I-4D5 and 131I-rhuMAb HER2 usually retained > 85% ECD binding, they exhibited increased aggregation and fragment content, drastically reduced antiproliferative activities and poor stability upon storage at 4 degrees C. For these antibody preparations, conservation of binding did not necessarily correlate with preservation of bioactivity indicating the importance of bioactivity determinations in radiolabeled antibody studies. Conversely, 4D5 and rhuMAb HER2 labeled with 125I or 186Re maintained physical properties, ECD binding, antiproliferative activities and were stable upon storage at 4 degrees C for at least 8 days. The superior retention of physical and biological characteristics of 186Re-labeled 4D5 and rhuMAb HER2 compared with their 131I-labeled counterparts suggests the potential for their use as radioimaging and radioimmunotherapeutic agents in the treatment of HER2 overexpressing tumors.

BackgroundThe success of soil management depends on understanding of how soils respond to agricultural land use practices over time. Nitisols are among the most extensive agricultural soils in the Ethiopian highlands but soil degradation threatens their productive capacity. In this study, the effects of two land use systems, intensive cereal and agroforestry systems, and slope class on physical and chemical characteristics of some Nitisol profiles were investigated. In total 12 sample profiles were described and soil samples were collected from each of the identified master horizon. Soil physical characteristics evaluated were particle size distribution, structural aggregate stability, water holding capacity and bulk density. Chemical characteristics determined were exchangeable bases and cation exchange capacity, soil pH and the contents of organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (AP) and some micronutrients.ResultsAmong the physical characteristics, land use and slope significantly (p < 0.05) affected particle size distribution and plant available water content. The mean sand (28%) and silt (26%) particles in the intensive cereal system were significantly (p < 0.05) higher compared to 15% sand and 18% silt in the agroforestry system. Conversely, the mean values of fine grained texture materials including 39% fine sand, 42% fine silt and 67% clay in the agroforestry system were significantly higher than 30% fine sand, 21% fine silt and 46% clay in the cereal system. Similarly, the lower slope had significantly (p < 0.05) higher fin texture materials (39% fine sand, 30% fine silt, and 63%) clay) compared to 17% fine sand, 14% fine silt and 51% clay fractions in the upper slope. The proportion of water stable aggregate (WSA) were highlight (63–94%) and there was no significant difference between land types and slope classes. Following from high structural aggregate stability, the soils have high water holding capacity that ranged from 22 to 32% at PWP to 34–49% at FC while plant available water content (AWC) was in the 120–230 mm m−1 range. Considering the chemical characteristics, land use significantly affected soil pH, total nitrogen (TN), exchangeable magnesium (Mg2+), potassium (K+), percent base saturation (PBS), and available micro nutrients—iron (Fe2+), manganese (Mn2+) and zinc (Zn2+). The mean pH value (5.29) in the intensive cereal system strongly acidic while the pH value for the agroforestry system (6.12) was taken moderately acidic. The mean OC content was 2.0 and 2.1% for the intensive cereal and agroforestry systems that were rated very low. The mean TN values were 0.15 and 0.22% for intensive cereal and agroforestry systems that were taken as low to very low. Similarly the mean values for AP were 8 and 10 mg kg−1 for cereal and agroforestry systems that were rated low. On the other hand, the CEC, exchangeable bases (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) and PBS of the soil were rated high while Na+ appeared only in trace amount, and there was no significant difference between land use type and slope classes except for Mg2+, K+ and PBS. Mean values of Mg2+ and K+ (15 and 3 cmol(+) kg−1) and PBS (75%) in the agroforestry system were significantly higher than those in the cereal system (6 and 1.6 cmol(+) kg−1 of Mg2+ and K+ and 51% PBS). Among micronutrients, land use significantly (p < 0.05) affected available Fe2+, Mn2+ and Zn+. The mean values of Fe2+ (97 mg kg−1) and Mn2+ (68 mg kg−1) in the agroforestry system were taken as excessively high while they were moderately sufficient (37, 39 mg kg−1, respectively) in the cereal system. Slope effects were significant for OC, TN and AP having higher mean values (2.5% OC, 0.22% TN and 17 mg kg−1 AP) in the lower slope than in the upper slope (1.5% OC, 0.13% TN and 8 mg kg−1 AP).ConclusionLand use and slope had significant effect on some soil physical and chemical characteristics. The land use practices in the intensive cereal system are adversely affecting important soil characteristics as compared to the soil under the agroforestry system. These include alteration of particle size distribution, strongly acidic soil reaction, organic matter and nutrient depletion (N, P, K and Zn) and low plant available water content. Among the inappropriate land use practices include repeated cultivation to create fine seedbed that predisposes the soil to erosion, unbalanced fertilizer application, rotation of maize with potato that are depleting soil nutrient stocks (e., K and Zn), and removal of crop residues from fields. Therefore, a more balanced fertilizer blend application that contain N, P, K and Zn combined with liming to raise soil pH, organic matter management and integrated soil water conservation are recommended.

Variations of two maternal behavior components (time spent with litter and rapidity of pup retrieving) as well as certain physical and developmental characteristics of pups (weight, relative weight gain, and neuromotor maturation) in rats were simultaneously studied in 29 various-sized litters in which interindividual variations were not experimentally amplified. Results showed mothers' behavioral adaptations to litters' characteristics (size and weight). Time spent with young was linked to litter size, whereas rapidity of pup retrieving was related to the pups' physical characteristic. Beyond these adaptive variabilities, residual variations subsisted between mothers. These variations were determinant for differences in pup development for only one component: the time that mothers spent with their litters, while pup retrieving component variations did not have any effect.

This study analyzes the mediating role of the appraisal of environmental stressors in the relationship between physical characteristics in the offices and health symptoms. It also studies the moderating role of positive emotions in the relationship between physical characteristics and the appraisal of environmental stressors using a diary study on 59 office workers ( n = 432 time points) and sensor data. The results show that the appraisal of environmental stressors mediates the relationship between physical office characteristics and health symptoms, emphasizing the important link of stress appraisal in the stressors–strain relationship. The results also show that positive emotions moderate the relationship between the sound level and the appraisal of noise, supporting the fact that emotions can have an impact on people’s appraisals. The contributions of this study are the objective measurement of physical stressors in offices, along with their appraisals by the office users, using the diary study design.

White compound chocolate is a type of chocolate that does not contain cocoa solids, causing low phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Adding ingredients rich in bioactive compounds, such as carrot powder, is an alternative solution to overcome this issue. The addition of powder ingredient could lead into a gritty texture in chocolate. Therefore, a milling process is necessary to improve smoothness of the product. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of carrot powder concentrations (10%, 15%, 20%) and milling duration (2.5 hours; 5 hours; 7.5 hours) on the physical characteristics (color and hardness), chemical characteristics (moisture content, phenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity using DPPH and FRAP methods), and sensory characteristics (liking test, emo-sensory test, collative perception, and discrimination test) of white compound chocolate. The results showed that carrot powder concentration and milling time significantly affected white compound chocolate's physical and chemical characteristics. On the other hand, carrot powder concentration and milling time did not significantly affect the sensory characteristics of white compound chocolate, except in the discrimination test.

HighlightsPhosphoric acid (PA) increased water-soluble phosphorus (WSP) from 0.31 to 47.4 g P kg-1 in poultry litter ash (PLA).Ideal granule size was identified at 29% acidulation (14.5 g acid to 50 g PLA) with granules averaging 3.14 mm.Bulk fertilizer production needed 32% PA addition, and adequate mixing equipment is important for PA efficiency.Granule size and strength were adequate as compared to industry standards and commercial fertilizers.Abstract. Manure-to-energy systems effectively recycle poultry litter (PL) into poultry litter ash (PLA) that densifies and concentrates the phosphorus (P) content by a factor of 4 to 10. However, high conversion temperatures reduce nutrient solubility and produce small particulate materials. To redistribute manure nutrients beyond the original production location by improving the physical and chemical characteristics of PLA, the objectives of this research were to: (1) determine the phosphoric acid (H3PO4) acidifying effect on water-soluble P (WSP), measurable total P (TP), granulation point, and granule size and (2) conduct large-scale granulated poultry litter ash bulk (GPLA-B) granulation to determine the larger-scale formulations and granule physical characteristics produced. We measured bulk density, force and friction resistance, and granule size as compared to industry-standard triple superphosphate (TSP). Acidulation experiments were arranged in a completely randomized design with four replications per H3PO4 acidulation percentage. Increasing acidulation percentages from 0% to 50% H3PO4 (laboratory-grade white phosphoric acid) increased measurable TP from 50.63 to 116.90 g kg-1 and WSP from 0.31 to 47.4 g P kg-1 (LSD0.05 10.13 and 2.65 g P kg-1, respectively). Acidulation dose response relationships created simple linear regression equations to predict changes in measurable TP and WSP, pH, and exothermic reaction temperature, which all increased with acidulation. The loose (1.01 g cm-3) and packed (1.03 g cm3) bulk densities of GPLA-B were significantly less than those of TSP (1.14 and 1.30 g cm3, respectively) (LSD0.05 = 0.03 and 0.02 g cm-3). Compared to TSP particles (2.86 mm), GPLA particles (3.73 mm) were significantly larger (LSD0.05 = 0.61 mm); however, the force resistance of GPLA (4.53 kgf) was significantly less than that of TSP (5.95 kgf) (LSD0.05 = 0.61 kgf). Results showed that the physical characteristics of GPLA met industry standards and validated the adaptability of GPLA as an alternative P source. Furthermore, GPLA has higher elemental analysis, greater solubility, and improved form, which addresses the undesirable characteristics of ungranulated PLA and supports the use of GPLA for fertilizer and nutrient distribution. Keywords: Acidulation, Fertilizer, Granulation, Phosphorus, Poultry litter ash.

The aim of the present study was to design a liquid bandage containing ginger extract and to evaluate its physical and chemical characteristics. The liquid bandage containing Ginger extract (LBGE) was formulated and its physico-chemical characterization was carried out. Physical characteristics like pH, viscosity, drying time, surface morphology and chemical characteristics like drug release at different time intervals were assessed. Surface morphology was carried out using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and drug release studies were assessed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).The results showed that pH of formulated LBGE was 6, drying time was 55seconds and viscosity was 6cps at 30rpm. SEM images indicated a smooth and uniform spray pattern. The liquid bandage film was found to be intact at the end of 24 hours. Cumulative drug dissolution was found to be 3.67% at the end of 24 hours. Based on the result we can conclude that LBGE possess satisfactory physical characteristics and drug release to provide the therapeutic response.

The goal was to assess the effect of different substitution levels (SL) of wheat flour with germinated basul flour (GBF) on nutritional, physical, and sensory characteristics of bread. The previously soaked basul fruits were germinated, dried, and transformed into flour. This product substituted wheat flour in the following SL: 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, and 20% of GBF, respectively, for the processing of loaves of bread. Nutritional values were determined by AOAC method. The physical characteristics assessed were weight, volume, porosity, and colour. The Flash Profile technique was used for the sensory assessment. A significant increase in the content of protein and crude fibre (3.86 and 50.49%, respectively) and a decrease in the content of carbohydrates (2.57%) were observed in all loaves with SL of 20%. With this same SL, it was observed that the physical characteristics did not differ significantly, except for height. In the sensory characteristics, loaves made with 20% SL also had a sweet flavour and a spongy appearance, except for the colour (change to opaque colour), which gradually decreased with the increased SL. The inclusion of GBF in bread improved nutritional and sensory quality, without affecting physical quality, which is why it can be considered healthy food.

The anti-scatter grid (grid) is a major component of X-ray imaging devices, improving the quality of the image by removing X-rays scattered while passing through the subject. However, problems such as image distortions or increasing the dose of a patient unnecessarily may result if the grid is not suitable for a specific digital x-ray receptor (detector.) Selecting a suitable grid can take significant work and testing due to the wide range of specifications and physical characteristic of both grid and digital imaging x-ray detectors. In order to reduce the time cost and to improve the accuracy of selecting a suitable grid, this study implemented a Monte Carlo simulation for estimating the physical characteristics of the grid and verified the accuracy of the result by comparing with the physical characteristics of the actual grid. For the verification, this study compared the estimated physical characteristics with the measured physical characteristics for ten (10) grids with different specifications. The physical characteristics were measured at RQR (Radiation Qualities in Radiation Beams emerging from the X-ray Source Assembly) 4/6/8/9 of the Radiation conditions and analyzed Transmission of Primary radiation (Tp), Transmission of Total radiation (Tt) and Transmission of Scattered radiation (Ts) of the physical characteristics of the grid. As a result of the analysis, less than 1% average deviation between simulation and physical measurement was observed with all ten (10) grids. The changes of the physical characteristics as the specifications (line density and ratio) of the grid changed were also evaluated, and found to have a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.998 between simulation and measurements. From the above results, the proposed program in this paper is judged reasonable as a grid physical characteristics prediction program.

The locomotive syndrome (LS) is a condition of reduced mobility due to impairment of locomotive organ. The LS was screened by Lococheck in elderly population. Prior research has been shown that physical characteristic such as age, gender, body weight, body height and body mass index has correlation with mobility limitation in elderly. We aimed to asses if the physical characteristic in elderly is able to use as a screening tool for locomotive syndrome in Indonesia. To investigate the association between physical characteristic and locomotive syndrome in elderly. This study was an observational cross-sectional study. A total 63 participants (37 females and 27 males) age 60-78 years participated in this study. This study was conducted by filling the Lococheck Indonesian version and measuring physical characteristic (Age, gender, body weight, body height and body mass index). The correlation between the Lococheck Indonesian version with physical characteristic was analyzed using Kendall’s tau correlation test. Forty participant answer “yes” at least one item of the lococheck Indonesian version questionnaire. The lococheck result showed an insignificant correlation with age r&lt;0.3 (0.01), p&gt;0.05 (0.926), gender r&lt;0.3 (0.061), p&gt;0.05 (0.563), Body weight r&lt;0.3 (0.061), p&gt;0.05 (0.562), body height r&lt;0.3 (-0.104), p&gt;0.05 (0.328) and body mass index r&lt;0.3 (0.122), p&gt;0.05 (0.245). To sum up, these findings confirmed that no correlation between physical characteristic and locomotive syndrome in elderly
