A Study on the energy consumption of Awaodori-Taisou and Awaodori

阿波踊り体操と阿波踊りのエネルギー消費量を測定することを目的とし，男性13名，女性27名（平均年齢43歳）の被験者に対し，実施中の呼気ガス分析を行った。 阿波踊り体操の平均エネルギー消費は1回（3分半）あたり12kcalで，しっかり強めに実施すると18%増加し，シニア編を座位で行うと8.6kcalであった。 阿波踊りの平均エネルギー消費は1分間あたり5.7kcalで，阿波踊り体操の平均メッツは3.3，しっかり強めに実施すると3.9メッツであった。 エネルギー消費量に影響を与えている要因は，阿波踊り体操の場合は性別と運動習慣であり，阿波踊りでは性別と有名連での経験の有無であった。本研究ではこれらの要因を組み入れたエネルギー消費量の推定式を作成した。Purpose: the aim of this study was to measure an average energy consumption of Awaodori-Taisou and Awaodori. Methods: The participants for this experimentation were composed of 13 males and 27 females, and the average age was 43. The breath was examined during the exercise of Awaodori-Taisou and Awaodori. Result: The average energy consumption of Awaodori-Taisou was 12 kcal/time. When did it briskly, the energy consumption increased by 18%. In the case of senior version with sitting, the average was 8.6 kcal/time. The average of energy consumption of Awaodori was 5.7 kcal per minute. The average mets of Awaodori-Taisou was 3.3. Brisk Awaodori-Taisou was 3.9 mets. Senior version with sitting was 2.3 mets. Awaodori was 5.4 mets. The effect factors influencing energy consumption of Awaodori-Taisou were gender and custom of exercise. The estimate formula of energy consumption was made as follows: Energy consumption (kcal) = weight×0.2×1.1(if male)×1.1(if do exercise more than 3 times a week)×1.1(if do briskly) The effect factors influencing energy consumption of Awaodori were gender and experience of professional group. The estimate formula of energy consumption and mets as follows: Male (professional): 0.13 kcal × time (minutes) × weight: (7.5 mets) Male (none-professional): 0.12 kcal × time (minutes) × weight: (6.5 mets) Female (professional): 0.11 kcal × time (minutes) × weight: (6 mets) Female (none-professional): 0.09 kcal × time (minutes) × weight: (5 mets) Conclusion: The result shows that Awaodori-Taisou and Awaodori have effective intensity for life-style related disease. However, since the quantity of energy consumption of doing Awaodori-Taisou just one time is so little, those who wish to prevent life-style related disease have to do more exercise.

Effects of cellooligosaccharide or a combination of cellooligosaccharide and live Clostridium butyricum culture on performance and intestinal ecology in Holstein calves fed milk or milk replacer

The effects of oral administration of a prebiotic (cellooligosaccharide [CE]) and a combination of a probiotic (a commercial Clostridium butyricum strain) and prebiotics (referred to as symbiotics [SB]) on performance and intestinal ecology in Holstein calves fed milk replacer (MR) or whole milk were evaluated. Forty female calves (experiment 1) and 14 male and female calves (experiment 2) were used in this study. Calves were fed MR (experiment 1) or whole milk (experiment 2) necessary for daily weight gain of 0.3 kg based on birth weight in two daily feedings and weaned at 46 days. Calves were divided into a CE feeding group, SB feeding group (only in experiment 1), and control group. The CE and SB groups were fed CE at 5 g/day before weaning and 10 g/day postweaning. Only the SB group received 108 colony-forming units (CFU) of C butyricum culture per day. Commercial calf starter was offered for ad libitum intake. Health and feed intake of the animals were monitored daily, and body weight was measured weekly. Fecal samples were analyzed for determination of bacterial community composition by an RNA-based method (sequence-specific SSU rRNA cleavage method) and for organic acid profiling. In 49-day experiments, feed intake, daily gain, and occurrence of diarrhea of the calves were unaffected by either CE supplementation or SB supplementation, and all calves were healthy during each experiment. The fecal bacterial community compositions and the organic acid profiles were not different among groups in experiment 1. In experiment 2, the level of the Clostridium coccoides-Eubacterium rectale group was higher in the feces of CE group than controls at 4 weeks of age and fecal butyric acid concentration was higher (8.0 vs. 12.2 [mmol/kg feces], P <0.05) at that time. There were no differences in prebiotic bacteria (the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) between groups at this time point. These results suggested that CE and C. butyricum supplementation have less effect on the performance of healthy calves fed MR. However, prebiotic supplementation seems effective for modulation of the intestinal bacterial community of calves when administered with whole milk.ArticleLIVESTOCK SCIENCE. 153(1-3):88-93 (2013)journal articl

Antitumor studies. Part 1: Design, synthesis, antitumor activity, and AutoDock study of 2-deoxo-2-phenyl-5-deazaflavins and 2-deoxo-2-phenylflavin-5-oxides as a new class of antitumor agents

Novel 2-deoxo-2-phenyl-5-deazaflavins and 2-deoxo-2-phenylflavin-5-oxides were prepared as a new class of antitumor agents and showed significant antitumor activities against NCI-H 460, HCT 116, A 431, CCRF-HSB-2, and KB cell lines. In vivo investigation, 2-deoxo-10-methyl-2-phenyl-5-deazaflavin exhibited the effective antitumor activity against A 431 human adenocarcinoma cells transplanted subcutaneously into nude mouse. Furthermore, AutoDock study has been done by binding of the flavin analogs into PTK pp60(c-src), where a good correlation between their IC50 and AutoDock binding free energy was exhibited. In particular, 2-deoxo-2-phenylflavin-5-oxides exhibited the highest potential binding affinity within the binding pocket of PTK

Probability-Changing Cluster Algorithm for Potts Models

We propose a new effective cluster algorithm of tuning the critical point automatically, which is an extended version of Swendsen-Wang algorithm. We change the probability of connecting spins of the same type, $p = 1 - e^{- J/ k_BT}$, in the process of the Monte Carlo spin update. Since we approach the canonical ensemble asymptotically, we can use the finite-size scaling analysis for physical quantities near the critical point. Simulating the two-dimensional Potts models to demonstrate the validity of the algorithm, we have obtained the critical temperatures and critical exponents which are consistent with the exact values; the comparison has been made with the invaded cluster algorithm.Comment: 4 pages including 5 eps figures, RevTeX, to appear in Phys.

Broad histogram relation for the bond number and its applications

We discuss Monte Carlo methods based on the cluster (graph) representation for spin models. We derive a rigorous broad histogram relation (BHR) for the bond number; a counterpart for the energy was derived by Oliveira previously. A Monte Carlo dynamics based on the number of potential moves for the bond number is proposed. We show the efficiency of the BHR for the bond number in calculating the density of states and other physical quantities.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
