The effect of submaximal exercise on recovery hemodynamics and thermoregulation in men and women

Five women and 5 men were studied to examine the effects of submaximal exercise on thermoregulatory and hemodynamic variables during recovery in two environments: (a) control (C), 22 degrees C, 33% rh; and (b) hot humid (H), 32 degrees C. The participants exercised on a cycle ergometer at 60% of peak oxygen consumption for 35 min prior to 90 min of seated recovery. Sessions were identical, except for environment. Variables evaluated (p < .05) were: core temperature (TR), mean skin temperature (Ts), sweat rate (SR), heart rate (HR), stroke index (SI), cardiac index (CI), forearm blood flow (FBF), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Men and women exhibited similar patterns of TR, Ts, and SR in both environments. Ts and SR (collapsed means for gender) were higher in the H than in the C. DBP was higher in men than in women throughout recovery in both environments. With combined means for gender, HR was higher in the H than in the C. CI, SI, FBF, and SBP were similar in both environments and returned to baseline within 15 min into recovery. These data suggest that heat dissipation during extended recovery was accomplished with similar contributions of cutaneous vasodilation and sweating in M and F. Furthermore, the moderate exercise level did not influence hemodynamics beyond 15 min of recovery in either environment.     

GaIN (Georgia Interactive Network for Medical Information) study on health professionals' search requests and continuing education needs

Health sciences librarians are being called upon to be more proactive in their institutions' continuing education efforts. In an effort to identify whether search requests indicated CE needs, a study was conducted by a group of members of GaIN (Georgia Interactive Network for Medical Information). MEDLINE requests from health care professionals for subject specific clinical topics were collected during a six-month period via a standard search request form created for the study. Copies of all completed requests were collected and broad ICD-9 codes assigned to the search topics. Institutional reports were generated for each participating library to share with hospital CE coordinators. They were also compiled for the group as a whole, and reflected the "hottest" topics requested during the study period for physicians and for non-physicians (nurses, allied health, administrators). A survey to hospital librarians and CE educators showed some value in the reports, but greater potential for further collaboration between librarians and CE coordinators.     

铜合金藏品保护的一种新方法

这是一种去除青铜病保护古代铜器和铜合金物品的新方法。有机化合物2—胺基—5—巯基—1,3,4—噻重氮是优良的铜器缓蚀剂,它可以完全除去青铜病,并在金属表面形成一层保护性的多聚络合物,防止腐蚀继续发展。     

现代女子中长跑运动员的训练问题

一、比赛的特点为了创造优异成绩,挖掘运动员的最大潜力应当充分考虑到运动员速度与距离变化的关系。中长运动员的成绩预测是依据对全程的开始、中间和结束时的速度而提出的。但无论何时,速度又取决于步长和步频。因此,中长跑运动员的任务是保持每段距离所特有的步长和步频。掌握运动员的比赛指标的方法是根据对世界记录的预测和搜集与记录速度高度相关的步长与步频的统计资料来决定的。尤其重要的是,要通过计算和分析找出训练中负荷跑的最合理的安排。现在经过计算,分析得知,女子中长跑运动员要进入世界记录水平,必须达

鲍士伟与中国图书馆的发展:国际合作的一个篇章

本世纪20年代,美国图书馆学家鲍士伟先生对中国进行了短暂的七周考察,旨在鼓动公共资金对中国发展公共图书馆事业的投资。这一事件构成了当时中美图书馆界一大“热点”。本文就是遵循这一历史事实,探索中国图书馆当时所处的大环境、鲍先生访问背景和相关的人物,及其对这一创举所具备的短期和长远影响进行客观评价。     

信息系统研究中的尺度设计——一个实现一维性评价的范例

由于尺度在评价信息系统产品时具有多方面的作用,因此在信息系统领域,设计和评价用来度量潜在现象的尺度一直是人们感兴趣的话题。一般来说,尺度的度量性质是通过传统技术来评价的,如项与总体相关法(item—to—total correlations),a系数和探索因子法(ex-ploratory factor analysis)。尽管在探索状况下它们很有效,但它们却很少提供有关一维性的评价。一维尺度只度量单一的特征。这一性质是测度论中的一条基本假设,它在精确度量变量间的相关关系中也是相当重要的。这篇论文中主要讲了一个设计一维尺度的范例,这个范例是从市场研究、教育、心理学中的成熟技术得到启发,使用了确认因子分析法(CFA—Con-firmatory Factor Analysis)来评价度量性质。重要的是,CFA对一维性的解释比传统方法更严格,并且在许多情况下对尺度的可接受性会得到不同的结论。
