The growth rate of flagellar hooks in Salmonella typhimurium was analyzed by computer-aided simulation of the length distributions of mutant hooks of uncontrolled length (polyhooks). The wild-type hook has a relatively well-controlled length, with an average of 55 nm and a standard deviation of 6 nm. Mutations in the fliK gene give rise to polyhooks. A histogram of the lengths of polyhooks from...

The proximal hooks of plain and complex flagella produced by a strain of Pseudomonas rhodos have been analyzed by electron microscopy and optical diffraction and filtering. Plain flagellar hooks are cone-shaped, 70 nm long, and 13 to 21.5 nm wide, and consist of helically arranged subunits. Complex flagellar hooks are cylinders, 180 to 190 nm long, and 15 to 16 nm wide, and are composed of glob...

To examine the effect of concurrent verbal encouragement on the performance of the WAnT in female athletes vs. female non-athletes. College-age female subjects were recruited where ten of the subjects were intercollegiate athletes (ATH, n1 =10) and the nine were non-athletes (NON, n2 =9). The WAnT was novel to all subjects and the subjects were blinded to the study's purpose. Prior to the exper...

restoration of the sagittal alignment is one of the fundamental goals in scoliosis correction surgery. having an increase in popularity of segmental spinal instrumentation, thoracic kyphosis (tk) is often sacrificed to achieve frontal and axial plane correction. patients with a lenke type 1 deformity underwent selective thoracic fusion (lowest instrumented vertebra of t12 or l1) using correctiv...
