What Motivates Patients with COPD to Be Physically Active? A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Motivation can be broadly defined as what moves people to act. Low motivation is a frequently reported factor for the reduced physical activity (PA) levels observed in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study assessed patients’ motives to be physically active, according to three pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) participation ...

Introduction to the physics of the total cross section at LHC [PDF]
This review describes the development of the physics of hadronic cross sections up to recent LHC results and cosmic ray experiments. We present here a comprehensive review â written with a historical perspective â about total cross sections from medium to the highest energies explored experimentally and studied through a variety of methods and ...

Physical activity and gut microbiota: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
Abstract Background The composition of gut microbiota, and in particular the intestinal abundance of the two main bacterial phyla of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, are associated with human health and diseases and may be conditioned by host and environmental factors such as age, gender and diet.

The NUMEN Project: Toward New Experiments with High-Intensity Beams
The search for neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay is currently a key topic in physics, due to its possible wide implications for nuclear physics, particle physics, and cosmology.

Sedentary behaviour and physical activity in bronchiectasis: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
The impact of bronchiectasis on sedentary behaviour and physical activity is unknown. It is important to explore this to identify the need for physical activity interventions and how to tailor interventions to this patient population. We aimed to explore the patterns and correlates of sedentary behaviour and physical activity in bronchiectasis.Physical

A Cross-Sectional Study on the Physical Activity of Selected Elderly Diabetics [PDF]
Regular exercise may prevent or delay the development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). In addition to moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise, daily physical activity is also important for the prevention and management of T2D. Elderly diabetics (50-70 years) were selected from the PSG Hospitals - a multi-specialty hospital.

Measurements of the ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S) differential cross sections in pp collisions at s=7TeV
Differential cross sections as a function of transverse momentum pT are presented for the production of ϒ(nS) (n = 1, 2, 3) states decaying into a pair of muons.

Extra Dimensions and Higgs Pair Production at Photon Colliders [PDF]
We show that new physics effects due to extra dimensions can dramatically affect Higgs pair production at photon colliders. We find that the cross section due to extra dimensions with the scale $M_S$ of new physics around 1.5 TeV, the cross section can ...

On the W&Y interpretation of high-energy Drell-Yan measurements
High-energy neutral and charged Drell-Yan differential cross-section measurements are powerful probes of quark-lepton contact interactions that produce growing-with-energy effects. This paper provides theoretical predictions of the new physics effects at

Associated Top Quark-Higgs Boson Production at the LHC [PDF]
We compute the O(alpha_s^3) inclusive cross section for the process pp -> t-tbar-h in the Standard Model, at sqrt(s)=14 TeV. The next-to-leading order corrections drastically reduce the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of the Born cross
