Warming-up in USRPT

Some activities for in-pool warm-ups have been evaluated. An historically important study was conducted by Carlile (1956). It was shown that the passive activity of tolerating a hot shower for as long as possible prior to performing a maximal 55-yard swim produced improved performances in all subjects significantly more than in a control group (no hot showers). A passive warm-up is possible if ...

Waking up to Global Warming

Warming up at the poles.

Introduction This series of meetings (Palazzo, 2002; Stearns & Winey, 1997) began as a joint ASCB/EMBO venture in 1997 with a meeting that was a landmark event, not only because a minor field had grown to fill an entire meeting, but also because key presentations defined the course of the field for years to come. The first biochemical mass spectrometric analysis of the budding yeast spindle pol...

Nuclear Pore Structure: Warming up the Core

Structural determination of the nuclear pore complex has been limited by the complexity and size of this cellular megalith. By taking advantage of exceptionally stable nucleoporins from the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum, Amlacher et al. (2011) provide new insight into a core element of the nuclear pore scaffold.
