This study investigated the effects of voluntary wheel running on the myosin heavy chain (MHC) composition of the soleus (Sol) and plantaris muscles (Pla) in rats developing under hypobaric choronic hypoxia (CH) conditions during 4 wk in comparison with those of control rats maintained under local barometric pressure conditions (C) or rats pair-fed an equivalent quantity of food to that consume...

We hypothesized that a shift in muscle fiber type induced by clenbuterol would change monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) content and activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and isoform pattern and shift myosin heavy chain (MHC) pattern in soleus (Sol) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) of male rats. In the clenbuterol-administered rats (2.0 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) subcutaneously for 4 wk), the...

BACKGROUND Women with thermal discomfort from cold extremities (hands and feet; TDCE) often suffer from prolonged sleep onset latency (SOL). Suppressed anger could contribute to the genesis of both TDCE and prolonged SOL. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis whether stereotypic feminine gender socialization (SFGS) is related to anger suppression (experienced anger inwards, Anger-In),...

A theorem proving system embodying a systematic search procedure is de sen bed. Al though the search spaces are usually infinite, and not even locally finite, the asymmetric way in which thev are generated results in a speed that is es 11ma-ted to be one to two orders of magnitude faster than the theorem provers of Quinlan and Hunt, and Chang and the problem-solver of Kikes, to whi c h this sys...

Controlled nuclear fusion is the most promising candidate for being an inexhaustible, clean and intrinsically safe energy source. Research in the last 60 years has focused on the fusion reactor concept called tokamak, in which a high temperature plasma is confined using magnetic fields, producing fusion reactions. Because of turbulence, the confined plasma diffuses to the outermost region of th...

Novel copolymers containing both anionic and cationic pH-sensitive moieties were reported. These amphoteric copolymers exhibited special closed-loop reversible sol-gel-sol phase transitions in response to both pH and temperature.

Le sol est un écosystème complexe et précieux, qu’il faut veiller à économiser, préserver valoriser. Or, notre activité de concepteur, paysagiste d’architecte, témoigne d’une vraie difficulté, pour les différents acteurs la fabrique ville des territoires, faire du une préoccupation fondamentale. Cet article s’appuie sur pratique projets d’urbanisme paysage aux côtés maîtrises d’ouvrage publique...

Sunn hemp (SH), Crotolaria juncea, is known to suppress Rotylenchulus reniformis and weeds while enhancing free-living nematodes involved in nutrient cycling. Field trials were conducted in 2009 (Trial I) and 2010 (Trial II) to examine if SH cover cropping could suppress R. reniformis and weeds while enhancing free-living nematodes if integrated with soil solarization (SOL). Cover cropping of S...
