PURPOSE Stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) is a rapidly growing sport and recreational activity for which only anecdotal evidence exists on its proposed health, fitness, and injury-rehabilitation benefits. PARTICIPANTS 10 internationally and nationally ranked elite SUP athletes. METHODS Participants were assessed for their maximal aerobic power on an ergometer in a laboratory and compared with ...

Actinomyces uiscosus was fractionated into cell wall (PEL) and intracellular supernatant (SUP) fractions following ultrasonication. In vitro lymphocyte transformation induced by each fraction was assessed using the lymphocytes obtained from subjects with minimal periodontal disease. In kinetic experiments, a detectable blastogenic response to both fractions was measured by the fourth day, with ...

The embryonic lethal gene pha-1 of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is required for late differentiation and morphogenesis of the pharynx in the developing embryo. Revertants of two temperature-sensitive alleles of pha-1 were isolated with the aim of obtaining mutations in genes that interact with pha-1. By various methods of mutagenesis, chemical, X-ray, transposon, or by spontaneous revers...

and Applied Analysis 3 In two main theorems in 20 , the authors proved the following results, which we now incorporate in the next theorem. Theorem A. Assume p ≥ 1 and φ is a holomorphic self-map of Π . Then the following statements true hold. a The operator Cφ : H Π → A∞ Π is bounded if and only if sup z∈Π Im z ( Imφ z )1/p < ∞. 1.8 b The operator Cφ : H Π → B∞ Π is bounded if and only if sup ...

We prove some inequalities related to the concepts of C1(st) -conservative matrices, C1(st) lim sup and C1(st) lim inf which are natural analogues of (c, st ∩ l∞) -matrices, st lim sup and st lim inf respectively.

High-resolution far-ultraviolet broadband Fourier-transform photoabsorption spectra of 32S16O, 33S16O, 34S16O, and 36S16O are recorded in a microwave discharge seeded with SO2. The B3Σ−(v=4−30)←X3Σ−(v=0) C3Π(v=0−7)←X3Σ−(v=0) bands observed or inferred the 43,000–51,000 cm−1 (196 to 233 nm) spectral range. This is first experimental detection C3Π(v>2) level any these an S-substituted isotopologu...

Abstract LaO bands are a characteristic feature in the spectrum of cool S-type stars. La is made primarily by s -process during asymptotic giant branch phase stellar evolution. The B 2 Σ + –X and A Π–X band systems can be used to determine abundances S with v <mml:mo accent="fals...

Thermal stability of the phosphor materials is crucial importance and scientific interest. Various Mn 4+ -activated fluoride, oxide, oxyfluoride phosphors show an anomalous thermal quenching (TQ) behavior, i.e., no decrease or increase in integrated photoluminescence intensity I PL with increasing temperature T , known as zero negative TQ. The purpose this article to discuss such behaviors dope...

Based on the theory of relativistic mean-field effective interactions, we explore effect superstrong magnetic fields (SMFs) nuclear single-particle level structure, blinding energy, and electron Fermi energy in strongly magnetized super-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs (SMSWDs). We also discuss capture (EC) instability from threshold mass density (TMD) pressure (TP) for some typical iron group nuclei...
