OBJECTIVE: In this study, we compare muscular strength of the internal rotators and adductors of the shoulder between asymmetrical (backstroke and freestyle) and symmetrical (breaststroke and butterfly) swimming strokes. METHOD: We evaluated: shoulders of (a) asymmetrical swimmers (aged 21.8 ^ 3.8 years), (b) symmetrical swimmers (aged 20.3 ^ 4.5 years), (c) recreational swimmers (aged 24.5 ^ 4...

We consider the ultraviolet divergence structure of general noncommutative super-symmetric U (N c) gauge theories, and seek theories which are all-orders finite. September 2001

Alternative splicing events that are conserved in orthologous genes in different species are commonly viewed as reliable evidence of authentic, functionally significant alternative splicing events. Several recent bioinformatic analyses have shown that conserved alternative exons possess several features that distinguish them from alternative exons that are species-specific. One of the most stri...

To assess the role of second-order channels in symmetry perception we measured the effects of check size, spatial frequency content, eccentricity and grey scale range on the detection of symmetrical and anti-symmetrical patterns. Thresholds for symmetrical stimuli were only moderately affected by these manipulations. Anti-symmetrical stimuli composed of large black and white checks elicited low...
