Breaking up prolonged sitting time with walking does not affect appetite or gut hormone concentrations but does induce an energy deficit and suppresses postprandial glycaemia in sedentary adults
(
NRC Research Press
, 2016 , Article)
Background: Breaking up periods of prolonged sitting can negate harmful metabolic effects but the influence on appetite and gut hormones is not understood and is investigated in this study. Methods: Thirteen sedentary (7 ...
Opposing calcium-dependent signalling pathways control skeletal muscle differentiation by regulating a chromatin remodelling enzyme
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Calcium signalling is important for differentiation-dependent gene expression, but is also involved in other cellular functions. Therefore, mechanisms must exist to distinguish calcium signalling relevant to differentiation. ...
Promoting Learning Outcomes Assessment in Higher Education : Factors of Success
(
Penn State University Press
, 2013 , Article)
This article presents results of a study on factors that contribute to successful learning outcomes assessment practices. This qualitative study uses the case study method to analyze factors of success in higher education ...

This research claims that some of the grammatical reasons are fallible explanations whose authenticity can be reviewed Explaining the function of Noun or verb-specific particles, for instance, in light of the governance ...
Regression estimator under inverse sampling to estimate arsenic contamination
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2011 , Article)
The fate of arsenic introduced to the environment as a result of the natural and human activities is an important issue. Surveys of arsenic typically involve sampling from a large area. Measuring arsenic concentrations in ...
Outlier robust nonlinear mixed model estimation
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In standard analyses of data well-modeled by a nonlinear mixed model, an aberrant observation, either within a cluster, or an entire cluster itself, can greatly distort parameter estimates and subsequent standard errors. ...
Dark solitons near potential and nonlinearity steps
(
American Physical Society
, 2016 , Article)
We study dark solitons near potential and nonlinearity steps and combinations thereof, forming rectangular barriers. This setting is relevant to the contexts of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (where such steps can be ...
Impacts of CO2-induced seawater acidification on coastal Mediterranean bivalves and interactions with other climatic stressors
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2014 , Article)
The effects of seawater acidification caused by increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), combined with other climatic stressors, were studied on 3 coastal Mediterranean bivalve species: the mussel ...
Hot and Hypoxic environments inhibit simulated soccer performance and exacerbate performance decrements when combined
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of heat and/or hypoxia have been well-documented in match-play data.However,large match-to match variation for key physical performance measures makes environmental inferences difficult to ascertain from soccer ...
Temperature dependence of the pressure induced monoclinic distortion in the spin S=1/2 Shastry–Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)2
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
We investigate the monoclinic distortion that occurs at 4.7 GPa at room temperature in the frustrated Shastry-Sutherland model quantum magnet SrCu 2(BO3)2 as a function of pressure and temperature by means of powder and ...
