Responses to oral glucose challenge differ by physical activity volume and intensity: A pilot study

BackgroundOne-hour postprandial hyperglycemia is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical activity (PA) has short-term beneficial effects on post-meal glucose response. This study compared the oral glucose tolerance test results of 3 groups of people with habitually different levels of PA.MethodsThirty-one adults without diabetes (age 25.9 ± 6.6 years; body mass index 23.8 ± 3.8 kg/m²; mean ± SD) were recruited and divided into 3 groups based on self-reported PA volume and intensity: low activity < 30 min/day of moderate-intensity activity (n = 11), moderately active ≥ 30 min/day of moderate-intensity PA (n = 10), and very active ≥ 60 min/day of PA at high intensity (n = 10). Participants completed an oral glucose tolerance test (50 g glucose) with capillary blood samples obtained at baseline, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min post-ingestion.ResultsThere were no significant differences between groups for age or body fat percentage or glycated hemoglobin (p > 0.05). The groups were significantly different in terms of baseline glucose level (p = 0.003) and, marginally, for gender (p = 0.053) and BMI (p = 0.050). There was a statistically significant effect of PA on the 1-h postprandial glucose results (p = 0.029), with differences between very active and low activity groups (p = 0.008) but not between the moderately active and low activity groups (p = 0.360), even when baseline glucose level and gender differences were accounted for. For incremental area under the curve there was no significant effect of activity group once gender and body fat percentage had been accounted for (p = 0.401). Those in the low activity group took 15 min longer to reach peak glucose level than those in the very active group (p = 0.012).ConclusionThe results suggest that high levels of PA have a beneficial effect on postprandial blood glucose profiles when compared to low and moderate levels of activity.     

液滴撞击凹凸槽道表面液膜的动态演变

为研究固体表面结构对液滴撞击液膜后演变行为的影响规律,采用CLSVOF方法模拟液滴撞击不同尺寸槽道上的表面液膜的流动过程,获得不同槽道高度和宽度时液滴撞击液膜后的演变行为,探索撞击速度、液膜黏度和表面张力对撞击后液膜铺展行为、水花飞溅高度和二次液滴形成的影响。结果表明,槽道结构对液滴撞击液膜后的动态行为具有显著影响,随着槽道高度的增加,冠状水花厚度越薄,越容易产生二次液滴;随着液膜黏度的增大,则抑制冠状水花形成与二次液滴的产生;液膜表面张力减小时,射流更加明显,二次液滴数更多,飞溅现象提前,冠状水花消失时间延后。

Influences affecting the soil-water characteristic curve

INTRODUCTION The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) gives the relationship between the amount of water in the soil (i.e. gravimetric or volumetric water content) and soil suction (i.e. matric suction at low suction and total suction at high suction). Many properties of a partially saturated soil such as the coefficient of permeability, shear strength and volume strain, pore size distribution, the amount of water contained in the pores at any suction, can be obtained from the SWCC. …     

长白山地区蒙古栎光合特性

基于单叶尺度上的光强－光合响应以及CO2－光合响应测定，对长白山地区蒙古栎成树和幼树的光合特性分别进行了研究．结果表明，蒙古栎成树的光补偿点（Lcp）为21μmol/m2/s，光饱和点（Lsp）为1564μmol/m2/s，表观量子效率（a）为0.045μmol/mol；幼树的Lcp、Lsp、a以及CO2补偿点、饱和点分别为29μmol/m2/s、1581μmol/m2/s、0.049μmol/mol、73μmol/mol、625μmol/mol．幼树和成树具有相似的光响应特征，但前者的光合同化能力要高于后者．蒙古栎具有典型的喜光性，但对高光的利用效率要低于弱光．     

基于基尼系数的中国重要矿产资源分布不均衡性分析

为对我国矿产资源空间分布的不均衡性进行定量化的测度和比较,进一步明晰不同种类的矿产资源的空间分布特征,进而为政府进行差别化管理和精细化管理提供支撑,本文采用基尼系数和洛仑兹曲线相结合的方法,以矿种在省域空间的地均查明资源储量作为指标,对我国28种重要矿产资源的空间分布状况进行定量分析,并按不均衡程度将28种矿产划分为4类,结论显示：总体上看,我国矿产资源的空间分布均具有明显的不均衡性,有15种矿产的空间分布不均衡程度相对较高,而不均衡程度相对较低和极高的矿种较少,共6种,不均衡程度相对中等的矿种有7种。从矿类上看,3种能源矿产的空间分布不均衡程度都相对较高,金属矿产基本属于相对中等和相对较高,共有13种,所选取的10种非金属矿产在四种分类中均有,根据分析结论,进一步提出将矿种的空间分布不均衡性作为矿产资源分类管理的空间要素。

新经济现象的成因与供需理论替代初论——兼论货币与物价的真实关系

作为现代经济学的基础的供需平衡理论并不是无懈可击的。它将物价归咎于货币，扭曲经济信号，偷换概念，误导政府行为，阻碍经济的发展，引发经济危机。李世福先生提出的新供需理论认为，物价、产量是以物的效用为基础的，货币只是使真实物价得到实现的外部原因。货币发行如果为劳动者的充分就业、增加劳动收入服务，经济增长、充分就业、物价稳定都会得到实现，这时候的社会经济发展曲线不再是供给曲线与需求曲线的交叉，而是供需完全重合的没有终点的永恒发展的曲线，这有些像马克思所设想的共产主义社会，但其核心内容是货币制度。
