Effect of isometric exercise on resting blood pressure: A meta analysis
, 2010 Dynamic physical exercise (walking, swimming, and so on) is an important component of lifestyle changes to reduce blood pressure; however, many individuals are unwilling or unable to adopt this lifestyle change.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

Reductions in resting blood pressure after 4 weeks of isometric exercise training
, 2010 There is some evidence to suggest isometric training can reduce resting blood pressure in a shorter period than the typical 8 weeks, reported most commonly.

The Journal of Symbolic Logic, 2013 AbstractWe say that an uncountable metric space is computably categorical if every two computable structures on this space are equivalent up to a computable isometry. We show that Cantor space, the Urysohn space, and every separable Hilbert space are computably categorical, but the space [0, 1] of continuous functions on the unit interval with the ...

Isometric Mapping Hashing [PDF]
, 2015 Hashing is a popular solution to Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) problems. Many hashing schemes aim at preserving the Euclidean distance of the original data. However, it is the geodesic distance rather than the Euclidean distance that more accurately characterizes the semantic similarity of data, especially in a high dimensional space. Consequently,

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Immediate post-isometric exercise cardiovascular responses are associated with training-induced resting systolicblood pressure reductions [PDF]
, 2015 Purpose: The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to investigate the effect of four-weeks of bilateral-leg isometric exercise training on the immediate isometric post-exercise cardiovascular responses, and (2) to ascertain whether any changes in ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.
