The effect of phenobarbital (PB) on the induction of tolerance to the organophosphorous insecticide temephos (TE) was investigated in Aedes aegypti L4 larvae submitted to two different PB-treatments:(1) continuous treatment from the egg to the larval L4 stage and (2) discontinuous treatment in which L4 larvae were exposed for 30 h. Mosquitoes from two Brazilian cities were studied: São José do ...

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the concurrent validity of a commonly used electronic switch mat (ESM), or jump mat, compared with force plate (FP) data. The efficiency of collection and accuracy of data are paramount to athlete and player field testing for the strength and conditioning coach who often has access only to a jump mat. Ten subjects from 5 different sporting back...

The aim of this study was to determine the precise effect of plyometric training (PT) on vertical jump height in healthy individuals. Meta-analyses of randomised and non-randomised controlled trials that evaluated the effect of PT on four typical vertical jump height tests were carried out: squat jump (SJ); countermovement jump (CMJ); countermovement jump with the arm swing (CMJA); and drop jum...

Epithelial sheets play essential roles as selective barriers insulating the body from the environment and establishing distinct chemical compartments within it. In invertebrate epithelia, septate junctions (SJs) consist of large multi-protein complexes that localize at the apicolateral membrane and mediate barrier function. Here, we report the identification of two novel SJ components, Pasiflor...

To become mature T cells, developing thymocytes must first assemble a T cell receptor (TCR) chain gene encoding a TCR chain that forms a pre-TCR. These cells then need to generate a TCR chain gene encoding a TCR chain, which, when paired with the TCR chain, forms a selectable TCR. Newly generated VJ rearrangements that do not encode TCR chains capable of forming selectable TCRs can be excised f...

In this paper we obtain the central limit theorems, moderate deviations and the laws of the iterated logarithm for the energy Hn = ∑ 1≤j<k≤n ωjωk1{Sj=Sk} of the polymer {S1, . . . , Sn} equipped with random electrical charges {ω1, . . . , ωn}. Our approach is based on comparison of the moments between Hn and the self-intersection local time Qn = ∑ 1≤j<k≤n 1{Sj=Sk} run by the d-dimensional rando...

This study evaluated force and velocity parameters of vertical jump performance in countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) and compared results for sprint runners and volleyball players. Twenty-four male athletes (12 regional/national-level sprint runners and 12 national-level volleyball players) performed CMJ and SJ on a force platform. The following variables were analyzed: jump perfor...
