    This study found no evidence that obesity significantly modifies the effect of 4 months of CPAP treatment on HOMA-IR. Longer duration of CPAP treatment may be needed in order to reduce insulin resistance and determine whether obesity modifies the effect. ...

    Objectives. Obesity-related physiological changes can limit improvements of obese subjects after training. The aim was to investigate obesity, muscular strength, and physical function in community-dwelling nonsarcopenic old adults. Methods. Nonsarcopenic ...
  • Sigurdardottir, Heida Maria (Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, 2013)
    In this thesis, we explore how objects affect the space around them. We show that spatial information is extracted from even completely novel objects. Information derived from the shape of objects is swiftly and automatically integrated into a variety ...
  • Liu, Danfeng; Wang, Liguo; Benediktsson, Jon Atli (MDPI AG, 2020-05-21)
    Most of the available hyperspectral image (HSI) visualization methods can be considered as data-oriented approaches. These approaches are based on global data, so it is difficult to optimize display of a specific object. Compared to data-oriented ...
  • Hajihoseini, Hamidreza; Kateb, Movaffaq; Ingvarsson, Snorri; Gudmundsson, Jon Tomas (Beilstein Institut, 2019-09-20)
    Background: Oblique angle deposition is known for yielding the growth of columnar grains that are tilted in the direction of the deposition flux. Using this technique combined with high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) can induce unique ...
  • Waldherr, Max; Lundt, Nils; Klaas, Martin; Betzold, Simon; Wurdack, Matthias; Baumann, Vasilij; Estrecho, Eliezer; Nalitov, Anton; Cherotchenko, Evgenia; Cai, Hui; Ostrovskaya, Elena A.; Kavokin, Alexey V.; Tongay, Sefaattin; Klembt, Sebastian; Höfling, Sven; Schneider, Christian (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-08-16)
    Bosonic condensation belongs to the most intriguing phenomena in physics, and was mostly reserved for experiments with ultra-cold quantum gases. More recently, it became accessible in exciton-based solid-state systems at elevated temperatures. Here, ...
  • Huang, Guo-yuan; Ohlsson, Tommy; Zhou, Shun (American Physical Society (APS), 2018-04-05)
    We investigate possible interactions between neutrinos and massive scalar bosons via g ϕ ¯ ν ν ϕ (or massive vector bosons via g V ¯ ν γ μ ν V μ ) and explore the allowed parameter space of the coupling constant g ϕ (or g V ) ...
  • Cano, Zach; Wang, Shan-Qin; Dai, Zi-Gao; Wu, Xue-Feng (Hindawi Limited, 2017)
    We present a detailed report of the connection between long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places emphasis on how observations, and the modelling of observations, have constrained ...
