DYNAMIC ASSESSMENT OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY PARAMETERS DURING ELECTROMYOSTIMULATION IN ATHLETES by G. A. Khairetdinova, Yu. N. Fedulaev, O. N. Andreeva, V. V. Ar’kov

“…After 10 electro-stimulation procedures, there was a significant decrease in the number of supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles, a reduction in QT interval dispersion (within the range of baseline and dynamic normal values), and an increase in circadian index. No significant change in time and spectral parameters of heart rate variability was observed; however, there was a tendency towards a greater reduction in vegetative disbalance among athletes.…”

Spatial variability of air temperature in a free-stall in the Northeastern semi-arid region of Brazil by Indira C. M. Gonçalves, Silvia H. N. Turco, Clóvis M. C. Ramos

“…Air temperature data was collected in the winter and in the summer, in the months of July and August (2013) and January and February (2014), at different times (9 and 15 h). According to the results, the use of geostatistics enabled to define areas with different spatial variabilities in air temperature and specific areas in the free-stall with values higher than the recommended levels for thermal comfort. …”

Role of hydrometeorological factors and solar activity in interannual variability of ice extent in the East Siberian Sea by L. A. Timokhov, V. E. Borodachev, I. V. Borodachev, N. A. Vyazigina, E. U. Mironov, M. Janout

“…Multivariate statistical analysis of time series of the ice cover, hydrometeorological elements, and the solar activity (SA), was performed for the period from 1950 to 2012 with regard for the cross-correlations of the analyzed variables that made possible to develop the equations of interannual fluctuations of the ice coverage in the East Siberian Sea in August and September. …”

Solar cycle variation of the statistical distribution of the solar wind ε parameter and its constituent variables by E. Tindale, S. C. Chapman

“…We find the distribution is multicomponent and has the same functional form at all solar cycle phases; the change in distribution is captured by a simple transformation of variables for each component. The ε parameter is less sensitive than its constituent variables to changes in the distribution of extreme values between successive solar maxima. …”

Heart Rate Variability Monitoring in Special Emergency Response Team Anaerobic-Based Tasks and Training by Colin Tomes, Ben Schram, Elisa F. D. Canetti, Robin Orr

“…Members of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams are allocated particularly demanding law enforcement operations and may therefore attain high fitness levels but may accumulate excessive stress. Heart rate variability (HRV), an assessment of time differences between heartbeats, likely indicates holistic load in field settings. …”

Inter-annual variability and forecast of the spring ice phenomena on Lake Baikal and reservoirs of the Angara cascade by E. N. Sutyrina

“…It has been found that the interannual changes of these dates are the opposite to the inter-annual fluctuations of values of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) index, that allows using the AO index as a predictor in regional predictive dependencies.Using results of analysis of the AO index values, averaged over different time intervals, and the data series of the first dates of the ice-free situations we constructed regional equations allowing to foresee a character of the ice situation with the average earliness from 21 to 33 days. …”
