Badania nad zjawiskiem męskiej sterylności w kukurydzy rozpoczęły się latach 30tych ubiegłego wieku. Od tamtego czasu odnotowano tej materii wiele osiągnięć, które umożliwiły wytworzenie funkcjonalnego systemu CGMS, z powodzeniem wykorzystywanego produkcji nasiennej odmian mieszańcowych kukurydzy. W historii badań tym spotykamy również przykłady spektakularnych błędów, wynikających nadmiernej u...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reflects the cumulative glucose exposure of erythrocytes over a preceding time frame proportional to erythrocyte survival. HbA1c is thus an areal function of the glucose-time curve, an educationally useful concept to aid teaching and clinical judgment. METHODS An ordinary differential equation is formulated as a parsimonious model of HbA1c. T...

The degree to which an individual's glycemic response to a meal is determined by the glycemic index (GI) and other components of the meal remains unclear, especially when meals are not consumed in a highly controlled research setting. To address this question, we analyzed data collected during the run-in period of a clinical trial. Free-living, nondiabetic adults (n = 57) aged 53.9 ± 9.8 y (mea...
