The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between the electromyographic (EMG) activity and heart rate (HR) responses induced by isometric exercise performed by knee extension (KE) and flexion (KF) in men. Fifteen healthy male subjects, 21 +/- 1.3 years (mean +/- SD), were submitted to KE and KF isometric exercise tests at 100% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). The e...

Hyperpolarizing and depolarizing square steps were imposed on the membrane potential of excised human intercostal muscle fibers by means of a 3-microelectrode voltage clamp. The steady-state amplitudes of the membrane currents inducing such steps were investigated as a function of the membrane potential, while the muscle was bathed in solutions varying in potassium content (Ke = 1, 3.5, 7, 20, ...

We consider the following graph modification problem. Let the input consist of a graph G = (V,E), a weight function w : V ∪E → N, a cost function c : V ∪E → N and a degree function δ : V → N0, together with three integers kv, ke and C. The question is whether we can delete a set of vertices of total weight at most kv and a set of edges of total weight at most ke so that the total cost of the de...

We study the problem of identifying an initially unknown m-bit number by using yes-no questions when up to a fixed number e of the answers can be erroneous. In the variant we consider here questions are restricted to be the union of up to a fixed number of intervals. For any e ≥ 1 let ke be the minimum k such that for all sufficiently large m, there exists a strategy matching the information th...

The abnormal regulation of the Ke 6 gene has been linked to the development of recessive polycystic kidney disease in the mouse. In this report, we have shown that Ke 6 is a 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and can regulate the concentration of biologically active estrogens and androgens. The Ke 6 enzyme is preferentially an oxidative enzyme and inactivates estradiol, testosterone, and dihyd...

115 Znanstveni ~lanak Retrospektivno su analizirane klini~ke i epidemiolo{ke zna~ajke legionarske bolesti u 60 bolesnika, dobi od 26 do 85 godina (53 mu{karaca i 7 ̀ ena), koji su hospitalizirani u Klinici za infektivne bolesti u Zagrebu u ~etverogodi{njem razdoblju, 2000. — 2003. godine. Dijagnoza legionarske bolesti utvr|ena je serolo{kim testovima. Bolest je registrirana tokom cijele godine, ...

This paper presents a new dynamic one equation eddy viscosity model for LES of compressible flows. Based on the compressible version of dynamic Smagorinsky model (DSM), the transport equation for sub-grid scale (SGS) kinetic energy (KE) is introduced to predict SGS KE, instead of the commonly used Yoshizawa’s model. The SGS KE transport equation for compressible flow is derived, and the unclose...

In this paper we describe a KE tableau system for a Logic of Formal Inconsistency (LFI) called mCi. The family of LFIs is a family of paraconsistent logics with philosophical relevance and applications in computer science. We prove that the KE System for mCi is correct and complete, and describe the implementation of such a system, presenting the strategies designed for the actual implementatio...
