The properties of the new observed charmed strange mesons D⋆ SJ(2317) , DSJ(2460) ± and DSJ(2632) + are simply listed. The status of investigations of these states is reviewed. An analysis to these states with Regge trajectories was made. We found that D⋆ SJ(2317) ± and DSJ(2460) ± could be arranged as (0, 1), but DSJ(2632) + seems not possible to be an orbital excited tensor particle. As a byp...

PURPOSE To determine the reliability and variability of the Dynamic Strength Index (DSI) calculated from squat-jump (SJ) vs countermovement-jump (CMJ) peak force (PF) and to compare DSI values between methods. METHODS Male youth soccer and rugby league players (N = 27; age 17.2 ± 0.7 y, height 173.9 ± 5.7 cm, body mass 71.1 ± 7.2 kg) performed 3 trials of the SJ, CMJ, and isometric midthigh p...

Plyometric training is a popular method utilized by strength and conditioning professionals to improve aspects of functional strength. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of extrinsic verbal cueing on the specificity of jumping movements. Thirteen participants (age: 23.4 ± 1.9 yr, body height: 170.3 ± 15.1 cm, body mass: 70.3 ± 23.8 kg,) performed four types of jumps: a depth...

For m ≥ 1 and p ≥ 3, given a set of integers s1, . . . , sq with sj ≥ p + 1 for 1 ≤ j ≤ q and ∑q j=1 sj = mp, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existence of a hamilton decomposition of the complete p-partite graph Km,...,m−E(U), where U is a 2-factor of Km,...,m consisting of q cycles, the jth cycle having length sj . This result is then used to completely solve the problem ...

SJ-200 (Himcospaz), an herbal preparation, was investigated for antispasmodic activity on gastrointestinal smooth muscles of guinea pig, rats, rabbits, and mice. SJ-200 dosedependently inhibited acetylcholine, histamine and barium chloride-induced contraction of guinea pig ileum. It inhibited spontaneous contraction of rabbit and rat colon. Oxytocininduced contraction of rat uterus was also inh...

A singular value inequality for sums and products of Hilbert space operators is given. This inequality generalizes several recent singular value inequalities, and includes that if A, B, and X are positive operators on a complex Hilbert space H, then sj ( A 1/2 XB 1/2 ) ≤ 1 2 ‖X‖ sj (A+B) , j = 1, 2, · · · , which is equivalent to sj ( A 1/2 XA 1/2 −B 1/2 XB 1/2 ) ≤ ‖X‖ sj (A⊕B) , j = 1, 2, · · ...

In the mammalian peripheral nervous system, nerve insulation depends on the integrity of paranodal junctions between axons and their ensheathing glia. Ultrastructurally, these junctions are similar to the septate junctions (SJ) of invertebrates. In Drosophila, SJ are found in epithelia and in the glia that form the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Drosophila NeurexinIV and Gliotactin, two components ...

A singular value inequality due to Bhatia and Kittaneh says that if A and B are compact operators on a complex separable Hilbert space such that A is self-adjoint, B 0, and A B; then sj(A) sj(B B) for j = 1; 2; :::We give an equivalent inequality, which states that if A;B; and C are compact operators such that A B B C 0; then sj(B) sj(A C) for j = 1; 2; :::Moreover, we give a sharper inequality...
