Introduction The SPADI, developed by Roach et al in 1991, is a self-administered questionnaire designed to measure pain and disability associated with shoulder pathology in the outpatient setting. It consists of 13 items5 pain and 8 disability, all scored 0 to 100. All items are equally weighted then added for a percentage score 0 (best) to 100 (worst). Completion time is documented generally t...

Zooplankton was the only food component of common bream and silver bream, and the main food component of roach and bleak in the pelagic zone of the Dobczyce Reservoir (southern Poland) from April to October 1994. Cladocera and Copepoda constituted 67.9% of the food consumed by the whole fish community. The average size of eaten individuals ranged from 0.62 to 1.43 mm. Planktivorous fishes selec...

Evidence has been presented for the possible transport function of conjugated roach plasma proteins during molting. Extensive changes in these proteins are evident during the premolt stage. The remainder of the instar appears to be devoted to a gradual return to the intermolt stage. This recovery process is characterized principally by a transformation of less mobile lipoproteins to lipoprotein...

A rabbit liver protein kinase (PCO.,), able to phosphorylate glycogen synthase and phosvitin, has been extensively purified. The enzyme had apparent M, = 170,000-190,000 as judged by gel filtration and was associated with two major polypeptide species, a (Mr = 43,000) and lp (Mr = 25,000). Two other polypeptides, Mr = 38,000 and M, = 35,000, were also detected. Treatment with trypsin led to an...

The accumulation of cadmium, copper and zinc and the induction of metallothioneins (MT) in liver of three freshwater fish species was studied. Gudgeon (Gobio gobio), roach (Rutilus rutilus) and perch (Perca fluviatilis) were captured at 6 sampling sites along a cadmium and zinc gradient and one reference site in a tributary of the Scheldt River in Flanders (Belgium). At each site up to 10 indiv...

The ovary of the roach Periplaneta americana has been studied by techniques of light and electron microscopy. Each ovariole (panoistic type) contains a linear array of oocytes in varying stages of development. Newly formed oocytes become encased by a layer of follicle cells and begin pinocytosis. All subsequent growth stages of the oocytes are dependent, in part, on this phenomenon. All of the ...

We address the problem of designing the shape of solid objects to satisfy a given set of functional specifications. In particular, we show how to design elementary components of mechanical devices (kinematic pairs) from a description of their desired behavior and a set of constraints. This is done using a backtracking algorithm that modifies (or creates) object shapes by adding and deleting lin...

Herbivorous fish feed on cyanobacteria. Digestability differs, however, between cyanobacteria species without mucous cover and mucilaginous genera such as Microcystis. The latter can pass fish guts almost undamaged, and it has been hypothesized that they can take up nutrients during gut passage. Here we tested whether live Microcystis, as food for juvenile roach labeled with 33P, indeed showed ...
