Effect of anaerobic bout using wingate cycle ergometer on pressure pain threshold in normal individuals
No full textIntroduction: Published studies reveal that incremental graded and short term anaerobic exercise lead to an increase in beta-endorphin levels, the extent correlating with the lactate concentration. Beta- endorphin can be released into the circulation from the pituitary gland or can project into areas of the brain through nerve fibers. Exercise of sufficient intensity and duration has been demonstrated to increase circulating Beta-endorphin levels. Thus, our study investigates the effect of anaerobic activity on pressure pain threshold (PPT) in normal individuals. Materials and Methods: Normal individuals (N = 30) between the age group of 20-30 years were recruited for this study. The subjects performed an anaerobic bout on Monark Wingate cycle egometer. A pre and post assessment of PPT was evaluated. Data Analysis: Graphpad Instat 3 software program was used for statistical analysis. A paired't' test was done to analyse the level of statistical significance between the pre and post PPT. Results: Study revealed that post anaerobic bout there was statistical significant difference between pre and post PPT in quadriceps, Mean 14.41,95% CI[12.95,15.87], Mean 16.73,95% CI[15.06,18.40] & (P value 0.0411) and gastrocnemius,Mean 13.56, 95% CI[12.18,14.93], Mean 15.55,95% CI[13.94,17.16] & (P value <0.0001). Conclusion: The study emphasizes the influence of pain modulation after an anaerobic bout
Effects of Mobilization with Movement (MWM) in Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Patients on Acromiohumeral Distance using Ultrasonography
No full textQuantum Weyl invariance and cosmology
No full textAbstractEquations for cosmological evolution are formulated in a Weyl invariant formalism to take into account possible Weyl anomalies. Near two dimensions, the renormalized cosmological term leads to a nonlocal energy-momentum tensor and a slowly decaying vacuum energy. A natural generalization to four dimensions implies a quantum modification of Einstein field equations at long distances. It offers a new perspective on time-dependence of couplings and naturalness with potentially far-reaching consequences for the cosmological constant problem, inflation, and dark energy
Mock Modularity In CHL Models
Get PDFDabholkar, Murthy and Zagier (DMZ) proved that there is a canonical
decomposition of a meromorphic Jacobi form of integral index for
with poles on torsion points
into polar and finite parts, and showed that
the finite part is a mock Jacobi form. In this paper we generalize the results
of DMZ to meromorphic Jacobi forms of rational index for congruence subgroups
of . As an application, we establish that a large
class of single-centered black hole degeneracies in CHL models are given by the
Fourier coefficients of mock Jacobi forms. In this process we refine the result
of DMZ regarding the set of charges for which the single-centered black hole
degeneracies are given by a mock modular form. In particular, in the case
studied by DMZ, we present examples of charges for which the single-centered
degeneracies are not captured by the mock modular form of the expected index.Comment: 64 Page

Mean or green? Values, morality and environmental significant behavior.
Get PDFIn most cases, pro-environmental behavior does not maximize individual interests, but mainly benefits other people or the environment. We propose that although acting on the basis of egoistic considerations may result in pro-environmental behavior, altruistic and biospheric considerations provide the most stable basis for pro-environmental behavior. We present two strategies to promote stable pro-environmental behavior. The first way is increasing the saliency of altruistic and biospheric values in specific situations, thereby reducing the relative strength of egoistic values. The second way is making the often “anti-environmental” egoistic values compatible with “pro-environmental” altruistic and biospheric values. We explain these options and translate it to possible interventions, policy implications, and follow-up research to promote “green” behavior
