AVALIAÇÃO DA EFICÁCIA ADAPTATIVA DE ATLETAS DE BASQUETEBOL

O objetivo deste estudo foi de analisar e descrever a eficiência adaptativa dos atletas de basquetebol sub19, e verificar se o resultado obtido apresenta implicações no desempenho dos mesmos nos jogos, assim como, de alguma forma, classificá-los a partir da qualidade de adaptação. Método: levantou-se a qualidade da eficácia adaptativa de oito atletas de basquetebol da categoria sub19 com idades entre 18 e 19 anos, todos do gênero masculino e ensino médio completo, por meio de entrevista clínica preventiva e da EDAO (Escala Diagnóstica Adaptativa Operacionalizada). Os índices de desempenho foram verificados a partir dos Índices de Eficácia Técnica da Federação Paulista de Basquete, em sete jogos. Os resultados indicaram um equilíbrio considerável em relação às qualidades adaptativas mostradas pelos atletas no momento da entrevista clínica preventiva, dentre os oito entrevistados dois tiveram como resultado adaptação eficaz; dois obtiveram classificação em adaptação ineficaz leve e quatro em adaptação ineficaz moderada. A análise da EDAO indicou prognóstico bom e ótimo a 50% da amostra e prognóstico regular a 50% da amostra. Os resultados desse estudo em relação à qualidade de adaptação e implicação no desempenho dos atletas (eficiência técnica) mostraram possíveis relações. Concluímos que por meio da EDAO pode-se investigar as demandas de atletas e comissões técnicas para o planejamento de programas de intervenção psicológica eficazes, adequando o instrumento ao contexto desportivo.

Analysis of Acanthamoeba polyphaga surface carbohydrate exposure by FITC-lectin binding and flourescence evaluation

Aims: Characterization of the representative protozoan Acanthamoeba polyphaga surface carbohydrate exposure by a novel combination of flow cytometry and ligand-receptor analysis. Methods and Results: Trophozoite and cyst morphological forms were exposed to a panel of FITC-lectins. Population fluorescence associated with FITC-lectin binding to acanthamoebal surface moieties was ascertained by flow cytometry. Increasing concentrations of representative FITC-lectins, saturation binding and determination of K d and relative Bmax values were employed to characterize carbohydrate residue exposure. FITC-lectins specific for N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine and mannose/glucose were readily bound by trophozoite and cyst surfaces. Minor incremental increases in FITC-lectin concentration resulted in significant differences in surface fluorescence intensity and supported the calculation of ligand-binding determinants, Kd and relative B max, which gave a trophozoite and cyst rank order of lectin affinity and surface receptor presence. Conclusions: Trophozoites and cysts expose similar surface carbohydrate residues, foremost amongst which is N-acetylglucosamine, in varying orientation and availability. Significance and Impact of the Study: The outlined versatile combination of flow cytometry and ligand-receptor analysis allowed the characterization of surface carbohydrate exposure by protozoan morphological forms and in turn will support a valid comparison of carbohydrate exposure by other single-cell protozoa and eucaryotic microbes analysed in the same manner.

Low density parity check codes: a statistical physics perspective

The modem digital communication systems are made transmission reliable by employing error correction technique for the redundancies. Codes in the low-density parity-check work along the principles of Hamming code, and the parity-check matrix is very sparse, and multiple errors can be corrected. The sparseness of the matrix allows for the decoding process to be carried out by probability propagation methods similar to those employed in Turbo codes. The relation between spin systems in statistical physics and digital error correcting codes is based on the existence of a simple isomorphism between the additive Boolean group and the multiplicative binary group. Shannon proved general results on the natural limits of compression and error-correction by setting up the framework known as information theory. Error-correction codes are based on mapping the original space of words onto a higher dimensional space in such a way that the typical distance between encoded words increases.
