Download or read book Lift Lab written by Zane Kono and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-19 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This logbook is designed specifically for high level bodybuilding workout tracking. In this book the 'RIR' or 'Reps in Reserve' system is utilized. For more information on how to use the RIR system, see below. Each book contains 90 workouts logs. The book is 6 by 9 inches to make it more portable and convenient.In the introduction of the book you will find an example template already filled in to further demonstrate how to properly utilize this logbook.RIR System:Generally, with any program I write, I will have a set amount of reps to execute. I will stop at that rep number, even if I have more reps I could have completed. From there, I estimate how many more reps I could have done; Was that failure, so 0 more reps? Or did I have 1 or 2 reps left? Or was it too light and I could have done 5 more? Do your best to estimate how many you could have done had you kept going to failure. This is your Reps in Reverse, or RIR. I have created a way to use RIR in order to keep progressing, but not always pushing every set to failure. Always pushing to failure is not necessarily conducive to more results, and often leads to more nervous system fatigue than desired. You do want to go to failure sometimes, but you also want to keep that in moderation.What I have done is create the '20% Reps In Reserve Rule'. The 20% Reps In Reserve rule states that you should only go up in weight when you are able to do 20% more than your goal reps with a given weight. An example of this would be if I was doing a set of 10 reps, I would execute that set, then estimate my RIR. If I stopped at 10 and that was my failure, meaning 0 RIR, then I will come back to that same weight next time. If I had one more rep I could have completed, meaning, 1 RIR, that is only 10% more. Therefore I still come back to the same weight next time. However, if I feel I could have done two more, or 2 RIR, that is 20% over my desired reps, meaning, next time I come back to that exercise I will increase the weight. Then repeat that same process for the new weight, once at 20% or more RIR, go up in weight again. Easy math says, if the goal reps was 5, 20% RIR is 1. 10 Reps is 2, 15 Reps is 3, and 20 is 4. If you rep range is somewhere in the middle, like 8, then round to the nearest multiple of 5 (10, in this case) and use that as your number to find your RIR percentage. The final thing to note is that if you didn't hit your desired reps with a weight, but got close, you can write it as a negative RIR. For example, if I was aiming for 10 reps, but only got 8, that's -2 RIR. This simply tells you next week you'll need to back down in weight. A negative RIR should only occur at the beginning of your program, where you're trying to find your starting weights. If you're seeing negative RIRs later into the program, as in you're not even able to hit weights you've logged in previous weeks, this is usually an indication of needing a deload. The only real exception to that is if you're on a hard diet, then you may see strength loss simply due to that.

This book was released on 2023-11-03 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of the mission was to continue to support the BCRP in its effort to research the conditions for success for a CBDC, as well as the role of various stakeholders. The IMF has been providing Technical Assistance to BCRP on the topic of CBDC since 2021. The initial TA mission supported the central bank during the first phase of the project, called the Preparation phase, which involved clarifying the context, key questions, and potential approaches to study a CBDC. The second phase of the BCRP’s CBDC project, known as the Proof of Assumptions phase, started with the publication of a paper by the central bank, supported by the current mission. The white paper outlined the context, goals and challenges related to a potential CBDC in Peru. Consistent with recommendations from the first mission, the BCRP recognized the need to focus on an initial engagement with stakeholders, including representatives of the banking sector, payment service providers, and the Fintech and technology sector.

Download or read book Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine written by Maria H. Santana and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cell niches are present in several human body tissues as a dynamic microenvironment essential to modulate stem cells’ behavior in health, under injury, and in regenerative processes. The interplay between stem cells and their niche is necessary for sustaining tissues. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the crucial component of the stem cell. It defines the architectural space, physical binding to the cell membrane, and interactions with the neighborhood cells and supports physical stress. Domains with nano or micrometric sizes define the surface and topology of the ECM, mediating cell interactions and macrophage recruitment to injured sites. Over the last two decades, the integration of biomedicine with other engineering and biomaterial sciences promoted the development of nanotechnology and regenerative medicine toward mimicking the specialized stem cell niches to treat diseases with less invasive and efficient therapies. Innovative approaches in nanotechnology, such as targeting the immunological system, transporting drugs across blood–brain/BBB and blood–retinal barriers/BRB, directing active moiety to specific disease location/organs, encapsulation of multiple components, and promoting signalization and pathway-specific surfaces for cell interactions and growth, are indeed promising. On the other side, developments of biomaterial scaffolds to mimic the cell niches for interactions with stem cells in vitro or in vivo have tremendous potential. The three-dimensional printing technology offers a base for a wide array of applications, for example, developing tissue constructs, mimetic organs, organoids, and organ-on-a-chip, thus avoiding the differences between animal model species and humans. Aiming closer to the natural environments, fresh autologous products from the blood, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), contain platelets and leukocytes, providing growth factors, cytokines, and proteins for the resident stem cells in the stages of regeneration. PRP also provides pain relief, reducing disabilities in elderly or diseased people. This book brings thought-provoking multidisciplinary topics on the diverse aspects of basic and applied sciences. The prime focus of the compilation is to understand the challenges researchers encounter in combining nanotechnology and regenerative medicine, ultimately integrating both disciplines for the benefit of the patient and offering them a ray of hope to be cured. Presents multi-disciplined knowledge on bench-to-bedside application of nanotechnology in regenerative medicines Highlights the fundamentals, frontiers, limitations, and challenges faced by regenerative medicines Exhibits synergy of biotechnology, nanomedicine, biomedicine, chemical-material engineering, pharmaceutical technology, and applied medical sciences in success of regenerative medicines

Download or read book Lift written by Ray Anderson and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If music is a universal language, and mathematics a universal truth, could the two be combined to form a new world language that would create common understanding across all cultures? In 2489, mathematicians who govern the world calculate that if our species doesn’t reduce wars and killing, humanity will be driven to extinction in fifteen months. They further divine that the only way out of the crisis is to create the optimum language for humans, which, it turns out, will be based on mathematics, linguistics, and music. Charles De Costa, a brilliant mathematics student, with help from great minds resurrected (Lifted) from the past, works with the World Council of Mathematicians (WCM) to create the language, but the endemic human virus of evil thwarts progress. Charles also has trouble navigating a romance with his girlfriend, Andrica, but in a year, he grows from an awkward teen into a formidable young man. Juanita Popov, Chairperson of WCM, leads the world and struggles to save humanity. Her World Army commander, General Roy Braun, is tasked with reducing wars, eliminating conflicts, and policing a society of over 11 billion on the planet. One of his renegade generals brings the planet to another crisis. Meanwhile, a beta version of M-L-M, transmitted to space, triggers a multitude of SETI responses from all over the galaxy. However, no one understands the replies. What do these alien signals say? At the last possible moment, M-L-M is perfected, but it can’t be inculcated to all humans in time. Simulations using complex algorithms reveal that only weeks remain for humanity not to slide into a blackhole of extinction. A starship able to take 3000 passengers to a hospitable planet in another star system has been readied in order to propagate our species. Who will be selected to survive? Ensuing chaos tests the best and worst of humanity. And now the starship is under siege.
