Eduard Friedrich Wilhelm Pflüger was a physiologist known for his research on respiration and the respiratory quotient, experiments on the effects of electricity on muscles and nerves, and his study of the ovaries and eggs development. His experiments on how the gravitational orientation of frog [5] eggs affects their cleavage plane inspired embryologists such as Wilhelm Roux [6] and Gustav Bor...

Human tests show that long-term high-fat diet adaptation can increase fat oxidation in the exercise significantly than high-carbohydrates. Fewer studies focus on single high fat diet on glucose and lipid metabolism and the change of fat oxidation. This test attempts to use respiratory quotient as an effective indicator to reflect the body's metabolism of glucose and lipid and evaluate the oxida...

We study partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms satisfying a trapping property which makes them look as if they were Anosov at large scale. We show that, as expected, they share several properties with Anosov diffeomorphisms. We construct an expansive quotient of the dynamics and study some dynamical consequences related to this quotient.

Glycolytic activity of rat peritoneal mast cells has been measured by the Cartesian ampulla diver technique. The rates of anaerobic glycolysis, expressed as CO(2) expelled from a bicarbonate medium, are 1.70 x 10(-6) microl and 1.43 x 10(-6) microl per cell per hour with and without glucose, respectively. The aerobic glycolysis rate in the presence of glucose, assuming the respiratory quotient ...

We describe hypergeometric functions of Deligne-Mostow type for open subsets of the configuration space of six points on P, induced from those for seven points on P. The seven point ball quotient example DM(2, 1) does not appear on Mostow’s original list [9], but does appear on Thurston’s corrected version [12]. We show that DM(2, 1) is a finite cover of the moduli space of cubic surfaces MC en...

We study the notion of a strongly normal sequence in the dual E∗ of a Banach space E. In particular, we prove that the following three conditions are equivalent: (1) E∗ has a strongly normal sequence, (2) (E∗, σ(E∗, E)) has a Schauder basic sequence, (3) E has an infinite-dimensional separable quotient.

We examined the variability and determinants of the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) at rest and during exercise in 61 trained cyclists. Fasting (10-12 h) RER was measured at rest and during exercise at 25, 50, and 70% of peak power output (W(peak)), during which blood samples were drawn for [lactate] and [free fatty acid] ([FFA]). Before these measurements, training volume, dietary intake and ...
