PURPOSE To quantify the power-output demands of men's road-cycling stage racing using a direct measure of power output. METHODS Power-output data were collected from 207 races over 6 competition years on 31 Australian national male road cyclists. Subjects performed a maximal graded exercise test in the laboratory to determine maximum aerobic-power output, and bicycles were fitted with SRM pow...

BACKGROUND Research on injuries in racing drivers is limited. OBJECTIVE To gain more information about such injuries. METHODS Injuries recorded during and after races between 1996 and 2000 were investigated using the medical charts from the circuit medical centre at Fuji Speedway, which is one of the biggest circuits in Japan. Races were in either single seat/formula cars or saloon cars. ...

French populations of the European corn borer consist of two sympatric and genetically differentiated host races. As such, they are well suited to study processes that could be involved in sympatric speciation, but the initial conditions of host-race divergence need to be elucidated. Gene genealogies can provide insight into the processes involved in speciation. We used DNA sequences of four nu...

Changes in the levels of haemolymph metal ions of two binoltine races of the silkworm, Bombyx mori (NB4D2 and CSR2) and the multivoltine race (Pure Mysore ) was studied at different stages of larval and pupal development. The haemolymph metal ions showed significant changes during different stages of larval development like moult, post-moult, feeding and spinning and pupal stages like pre-pupa,...

Deployed multithreaded applications contain many races because these applications are difficult to write, test, and debug. Worse, the number of races in deployed applications may drastically increase due to the rise of multicore hardware and the immaturity of current race detectors. LOOM is a “live-workaround” system designed to quickly and safely bypass application races at runtime. LOOM provi...
