Although the sport of karate has been somewhat neglected by scientists, the following two isolated biomechanical studies exist in literature: (1)-tracings of a karate chop in two planes were presented, but no data was given concerning the rates of movement of the limb segments, and (2) preand postimpact phenomena of five subjects were studied, and hand velocities and forces at impact were repor...

Two groups of educable mentally retarded children were compared as to their arithmetic and classification performances attributable to the presence or absence of four and a half week exposure to classification tasks (taken from Inhelder and Piaget). The randomized block pretest-posttest design was used. The experimental group (N=16) and the control group (N=16), constituting 16 pairs, were matc...

Cystic fibrosis is associated with increased inflammatory responses to pathogen challenge. Here we revisited the role of IL-1b in lung pathology using the experimental F508del-CFTR murine model on C57BL/6 genetic background(Cftr or d/d), on double deficient for d/d and type 1 interleukin-1 receptor (d/d XIL-1R1), and antibody neutralization. At steady state, young adult d/d mice did not...

Providing efficient support is one of the key issues for the integration of ICT in teaching and learning. But what exactly is good support? According to literature findings (Beggs, 2000; Donovan, 1999; Gilbert, 2001) an ideal support for faculty should be flexible, scalable, accessible, easy to learn, voluntary and comprehensive. Based on the above criteria for best practice support, the WICeD ...

We conducted an experiment to examine the effects of sex and food intake on growth, mass gain, and attainment of sexual maturity in Western Diamond‐backed Rattlesnakes (Crotalus atrox). We also measured testosterone levels to determine whether testosterone might be involved in the male‐biased sexual size dimorphism observed in this species. We collected neonate rattlesnakes and raised them in t...
