The Body Appreciation Scale-2: Item interpretation and sensitivity to priming

Body Image, 2019
The Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) is a widely-used measure of positive body image. Items are worded ambiguously to allow reference to any aspect of the body during measure completion. We examined (a) how BAS-2 items are interpreted and whether this interpretation is influenced by the content of measures administered prior to it, (b) whether ...

A Sensitive Method for the Determination of Th in Body Fluids

Health Physics, 1989
A method involving neutron activation followed by simple radiochemical separation was developed and applied to determine the concentrations of Th in blood serum and urine. The method is sufficiently sensitive to detect 0.025 ng of 232Th. The average concentration of Th found in the blood serum and urine of subjects from normal environments is 7.9 ng L ...

The Calibration of a High-Sensitivity Large Area Whole-Body Counter

Physics in Medicine & Biology, 1968
The whole-body counter considered is based on a design which uses total internal reflection as the method of light collection. It is shown that a calibration curve in which the response of the counter is plotted as a function of weight is adequate over a wide range of patient size.

Adiposity is The Enemy: Body Composition and Insulin Sensitivity

2009
It was once thought that declining insulin sensitivity was associated with age—the older you get, the more insulin resistant you become. However, since the advent of advanced imaging techniques in the 1980s and 1990s, it has become apparent that insulin resistance is actually associated with the increase in body fatness that occurs during aging, rather

The rubber hand illusion: Sensitivity and reference frame for body ownership

Consciousness and Cognition, 2007
When subjects view stimulation of a rubber hand while feeling congruent stimulation of their own hand, they may come to feel that the rubber hand is part of their own body. This illusion of body ownership is termed 'Rubber Hand Illusion' (RHI). We investigated sensitivity of RHI to spatial mismatches between visual and somatic experience.

Receptor

IUPAC Standards Online, 2019
Insulin sensitizing and adverse effects of KY-201, a novel PPAR  agonist, in female KK-A y mice and ovariectomized (OVX) rats were compared with those of rosiglitazone.

Sensitivity of the three-body calculations to different effects

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1980
The bound state of few-body systems in light nuclei is studied as a three-body problem. The three-body problem is solved following the different approaches of the Faddeev formalism as well as the unitary pole approximation. Separable approximations are introduced to reduce the three-body problem to a set of coupled integral equations.

[Insulin sensitivity of the body in experimental hypothalamic obesity].

Patologicheskaia fiziologiia i eksperimental'naia terapiia, 1991
Two-month hyperphagia after injury inflicted to the ventromedial hypothalamus in rats led to the development of marked obesity in an essential increase of the content of immunoreactive insulin, glucagon, and C-peptide in the blood. Increase of excessive body weight was attended by gradual diminution of the organisms sensitivity to exogenous insulin ...

Sensitization to the Other – The Phenomenological Vignette as a Resonating Body of Sound

STUDIUM EDUCATIONIS - Rivista semestrale per le professioni educative
This article examines the aesthetic potential of the phenomenological vignette, a qualitative research tool grounded in phenomenology and used in professional development. Vignettes are concise, evocative narratives that capture co-experiential moments. As bodies of sound, they preserve fleeting instances through language and emphasize the pregnant and
