A glucoseoxidase-peroxidasemethod for continuous automated monitoring of blood glucosehas been developed.The responseis linear over the range 0-800 mg/100 ml. Sensitivity can be maintained for 24 hr or longer and can be restored by rinsing the analytic system with sulfuric acid to permit studies of longer than 48 hr in duration. A precisionof ± 1% can be maintained between rinsesfor samplescont...

The idea behind IDIPS is to provide ordered paths according to pre-defined criteria. IDIPS is composed of three entities: the client, the destination and the IDIPS server itself. The client is the entity sending request for QoS and path information towards a destination. The IDIPS server aims at providing the requested information to the client. IDIPS is operated by an ISP or an AS. A client se...

Delayed conditional discriminations in which a sample indicates which comparison stimulus is correct have typically been used in working memory research with animals. Following acquisition with no (0-sec) delay between the offset of the sample and the onset of the comparison stimuli, delays of variable duration are introduced. The resulting retention functions are taken as a measure of memory. ...

This study investigated the effect of different repetition durations on ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) in active muscles (RPE-AM) and the overall body (RPE-O). 19 male volunteers (M age = 25.4 yr., SD = 3.5) performed strength training protocols with multiple sets matched by the number of sets and repetitions, intensity and rest interval but different repetition durations: 4 sec., 6 sec., ...

To date, no published data exists on distances and speeds traveled by rugby or basketball players during game play. The purpose of this study was to provide quantitative information of selected characteristics of wheelchair basketball and rugby game play. A miniaturized data logger was used to collect the distance traveled, average velocity, activity time, and number of starts and stops during ...

We have determined a source rupture model for the 1992 Landers earthquake (Mw 7.2) compatible with multiple data sets, spanning a frequency range from zero to 0.5 Hz. Geodetic survey displacements, near-field and regional strong motions, broadband teleseismic waveforms, and surface offset measurements have been used explicitly to constrain both the spatial and temporal slip variations along the...

Seventy-five Ss trained on a pursuit rotor for 10 trials, with ambient illumination from a strobe light flashing at frequencies of either 2, 5, 10, 15, or 20/sec. A transfer trial followed, with a strobe flashing frequency of 10/sec for all Ss. Results supported hypotheses derived from Adams' (1971) closed-loop theory of motor learning that (a) performance would improve during training as a fun...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate, by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the effects of Nd:YAG laser irradiation applied perpendicular or parallel to the root canal dentin wall. METHODS Thirty human teeth were divided into two groups: Group A (20 roots), laser application with circular movements, parallel to the dentin root surface; and Group B (10 roots), roots cut longitu...

We investigated ventilation (V ． E) control factors during recovery from light impulse-like exercise (100 watts) with a duration of 20 sec. Blood ions and gases were measured at rest and during recovery. V ． E, end tidal CO 2 pressure (PETCO 2) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) were measured continuously during rest, exercise and recovery periods. Arterial CO2 pressure (PaCO 2 pre) was estim...
