Suppression of soleus H-reflex amplitude in stationary legs is seen during rhythmic arm cycling. We examined the influence of various arm-cycling parameters on this interlimb reflex modulation to determine the origin of the effect. We previously showed the suppression to be graded with the frequency of arm cycling but not largely influenced by changes in peripheral input associated with crank l...

The sliding filament and cross-bridge theories of muscle contraction provide discrete predictions of the tetanic force-length relationship of skeletal muscle that have been tested experimentally. The active force generated by a maximally activated single fiber (with sarcomere length control) is maximal when the filament overlap is optimized and is proportionally decreased when overlap is dimini...

The short arm of Triticeae homeologous group 1 chromosomes is known to contain many agronomically important genes. The objectives of this study were to physically localize gene-containing regions of the group 1 short arm, enrich these regions with markers, and study the distribution of genes and recombination. We focused on the major gene-rich region ("1S0.8 region") and identified 75 useful ge...

Shortened telomere length may cause chromosomal instability in Barrett's esophagus and thus promote tumorigenesis. However, whether short telomere length in all chromosomes or just some of them is associated with increased esophageal cancer (EC) risk is largely unknown. To address this question, we examined the overall and chromosome-specific telomere lengths of 17p, 12q, 2p, and 11q and assess...

Birth order and its effect on growth and development of children and youths have rarely been studied so far. The objective of this research was an analysis of the birth order effects on some anthropometric properties of the boys 11-16 years old. The sample consisted of 748 boys from the Tuzla region. As the sample included very few boys born as the third, forth, or fifth child, we decided to co...

A recently proposed and popular model for the mechanism of meiotic homologue pairing relies on prior association of nonhomologous chromosome arms of most similar length. According to this model, the diploid complement is organized into two genomic linear chains, each containing the various heterologues in the same sequence. At meiosis, then, appression of the two genomic chains could presumably...

We present coarse-grained simulations of the self-assembly of 3-armed ABC star polyphiles. In systems of star polyphiles with two arms of equal length the simulations corroborate and expand previous findings from related miktoarm star terpolymer systems on the formation of patterns containing columnar domains whose sections are 2D planar tilings. However, the systematic variation of face topolo...

This article discusses the processing of signals using fast Fourier transformation in lowpower microcontrollers based on the ARM core. Simple microcontrollers do not support floating point numbers so fixed point data types must be used. Two ways of calculating FFT are analyzed: CMSIS library and special algorithm optimized for use on ARM processors (FFT-ARM). Both methods utilize a radix-4 deci...

A Microfactory is a new concept for an extremely miniaturized manufacturing facility that enables dramatic space and energy conservation. As a material transfer and assembly component of a prototype Microfactory, a micro transfer arm that provides 4 DOF and a maximum length of approximately 100mm has been developed. To achieve a compact-lightweight structure, large workspace and positioning acc...
