Intense Exercise Training and Immune Function

2013
Regular moderate exercise reduces the risk of infection compared with a sedentary lifestyle, but very prolonged bouts of exercise and periods of intensified training are associated with increased infection risk. In athletes, a common observation is that symptoms of respiratory infection cluster around competitions, and even minor illnesses such as ...

Intensity Function of the Cochlea and Cortex

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1971
Amplitude changes of the cochlear potential due to increases in sound intensity were compared in the same animals with amplitude changes in the evoked potential from the cortex. As is well known, the cochlear potential is linear over a 30–50 dB range.

Tourism Intensity as a Function of Accommodations

Journal of Travel Research, 1992
This study uses the tourist function index to analyze the spatial composition of the tourism supply resources with special reference to accommodations in the eight coastal counties of South Carolina. The article concludes with management and marketing implications as suggested by the study findings.

The Performance/Intensity Function: An Underused Resource

Ear & Hearing, 2008
The purpose of this tutorial is to demonstrate the potential value of the Performance versus Intensity (PI) function in both research and clinical settings. The PI function describes recognition probability as a function of average speech amplitude. In effect, it shows the cumulative distribution of useful speech information across the amplitude domain,

Pulmonary function testing in the intensive care unit

Respiratory Medicine, 1990
A number of tests of pulmonary function have been successfully developed for use in the intensive care unit. When performed in the ICU on critically ill patients, many of the traditional laboratory-based tests will have different clinical implications than when performed in ambulatory patients, for example vital capacity measurement. Also, the clinical

Performance-intensity functions at absolute and masked thresholds

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1993
In most applications of audibility and articulation theories, it is assumed that absolute thresholds and thermal noise maskers affect speech recognition performance-intensity (P-I) functions similarly. The purpose of this study was to evaluate that assumption.

Function of the Acoustic Reflex in Discrimination of Intense Speech

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1979
It is known that the middle ear acoustic reflex (AR) alters the transmission characteristics of the auditory system; however, disagreement exists on how these changes may influence the ears; transfer of speech stimuli. In this study, speech with and without a competing message was delivered at supra-AR levels to cat ears that demonstrated an active and

A Welfare Function Using "Relative Intensity" of Preference

The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1971
Two separate problems appear to be associated with attempts to formulate voting processes or social welfare functions that incorporate "intensity" of preference. The first is that of identifying a measure for intensity of preference. The second problem is that of incorporating the measure into a voting process.

A language for specifying functionality of data intensive applications

1986 IEEE Second International Conference on Data Engineering, 1986
We are building an application generation environment to provide user friendly means for rapid development of interactive information systems. The environment consists of two closely integrated subsystems: one for specifying the functionality of an application and the other for defining its user interfaces.
