Although Step 10 of the UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiatives requires that accredited maternity units provide post-natal breastfeeding support groups, the availability and uptake of these services remains unclear.40 The effectiveness of peer - support for long - term breastfeeding success has been well documented in middle - income countries, 35,41 and a systematic review has emphasized the importance of skilled post-natal breastfeeding support in the UK.39 However Graffy et al. 40 concluded from a randomized controlled trial of support provided by volunteer breastfeeding counsellors that although such support was rated by mothers as helpful, volunteer support was not effective at increasing breastfeeding duration, perhaps owing to mothers not actively taking up such support.

Despite a 56 % decrease in the national incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) from 1.2 deaths per 1000 live births in 19921 to 0.53 death per 1000 live births in 2003,2 SIDS continues to be the leading cause of postneonatal mortality in the United States.3 The decreased rate of SIDS is largely attributed to the increased use of the supine sleep position after the introduction of the «Back to Sleep» campaign in 1994.4 - 7 More recently, it has been suggested that the decrease in the SIDS rate has leveled off coincident with a plateau in the uptake of the supine sleep position.8 Although caretakers should continue to be encouraged to place infants on their backs to sleep, other potentially modifiable risk factors in the sleep environment should be examined to promote further decline in the rate of SIDS.

This decreased uptake of carbon does not decrease growth rates but does mean an increase in tree deaths.

Certain kinds of male fruit flies, for instance, use a cocktail of proteins in their ejaculate as a secret weapon to gain the edge; these proteins induce the female to increase her sperm uptake or her rate of egg - laying, or even to prevent her from considering any new suitors.

Dr. Houghton and colleagues conclude that the greater certainty in atmospheric carbon measurements has led to an increased certainty in the calculated rate of carbon uptake by land and oceans.

For example, the classical equations used to predict the performance of such materials have indicated that the logarithm of the reaction rate should vary linearly as voltage is increased — but experiments have shown a nonlinear response, with the uptake of lithium flattening out at high voltage.

One hallmark of cancer is the accelerated metabolism, high energy requirements, and increased glucose uptake by the tumor cells, the latter being the first and rate - limiting step for glucose metabolism [2,3].

Functionally, SGBS adipocytes displayed higher ISO - induced basal leak respiration and overall oxygen consumption rate, along with increased triglyceride accumulation and insulin - stimulated glucose uptake.

The accelerated catabolic rate of ApoC - III — depleted TRLs in Ndst1fl / fl Alb - Cre + mice was associated with increased [3H] TRL uptake in the liver (Figure 9D), whereas liver accumulation did not differ when ApoC - III — bearing [3H] TRLs were injected into Ldlr — / — Lrp1fl / fl Alb - Cre + mice (Figure 9F).

Six days of dietary nitrate supplementation in the form of beetroot juice (~ 0.5 L / d) has been reported to reduce pulmonary oxygen uptake (VO ₂) during submaximal exercise and increase tolerance of high - intensity work rates, suggesting that nitrate can be a potent ergogenic aid.

And then there's the «afterburn effect» or, scientifically speaking, «excess post-exercise oxygen consumption» (EPOC), which is an increased rate of oxygen uptake that occurs after exercise and results in additional calories burned.

... In another small study, women who jumped rope for five minutes a day over a four - week period were rewarded with lower pulse rates, increased oxygen uptake and a 25 % improvement in physical work capacity.

With a faster blood rate tissues in the body receive; a sizeable increase in the uptake of essential nutrients.

«Short bursts of high intensity trigger the heart and lungs to increase their efficiency in oxygen uptake at a faster rate than endurance training, which in turn increases your fitness and translates to better overall health,» says Phillips.

When exercise intensity increases, heart rate also increases to match the increased rate of energy expenditure and oxygen uptake.

It also revealed that schools show a significant increase in free school meal uptake which is crucial in encouraging healthy eating habits, and that twice as many primary schools receive an Outstanding Ofsted rating after working with the Food for Life Partnership.

I know that limiting intakes is not part of the No Kill equation; but in this case strategically engaging their community on many levels could very well mean the Richmond SPCA is able to outperform (through keeping pets in homes, increasing s / n uptake and improving the rate of adoptions) their previous performance, actually saving more pets than when they were open admission.

Since OHC uptake efficiency associated with surface warming is low compared with the rate of radiative restoring (increase in energy loss to space as specified by the climate feedback parameter), an important internal contribution must lead to a loss rather than a gain of ocean heat; thus the observation of OHC increase requires a dominant role for external forcing.

According to Hansen et al. (2008, note 2 above), «It is assumed that uptake of carbon via reforestation will increase linearly until 2030, by which time reforestation will achieve a maximum potential sequestration rate of 1.6 GtC per year (S28).

- any increase of the decay rate from the biosphere over the uptake would lead to increased oxygen use, but we see the opposite: oxygen use is less than expected from fossil fuel burning, thus the biosphere is a net absorber of CO2.

Considering all the short - term factors identified by the scientific community that acted to slow the rate of global warming over the past two decades (volcanoes, ocean heat uptake, solar decreases, predominance of La Niñas, etc.) it is likely the temperature increase would have accelerated in comparison to the late 20th Century increases.

Temporarily increased rates of lime deposition by fertilization are completely offset over the long - term by decreased CO2 uptake into the ocean and lower rates of precipitation of limestone by coral reefs, etc..

Irrespective of what one thinks about aerosol forcing, it would be hard to argue that the rate of net forcing increase and / or over-all radiative imbalance has actually dropped markedly in recent years, so any change in net heat uptake can only be reasonably attributed to a bit of natural variability or observational uncertainty.

«It tells us that climate changes not only increase the rate of loss of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, by killing trees, but also slow down the rate of uptake.

Discussions of isotope ratios and uptake and emission of CO2 by all the various and sundry physical and biological processes are distractions to the simplest and most compelling line of evidence that the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations is primarily anthropogenic — to wit, comparing the expected concentration increase based on anthropogenic emission rates with the actual increase over a given period of time.
