-For much of the 20th century a clear north-south inverse production pattern for Pacific salmon had a time dynamic that closely followed that of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), which is the dominant pattern of North Pacific sea surface temperature variability. Total Alaska salmon production was high during warm regimes of the PDO, and total Alaska salmon production was relatively low dur...

Zhang et al. (Reports, 4 April 2014, p. 84) interpret TEX86 and U(37)(K') paleotemperature data as providing a fundamentally new view of tropical Pacific climate during the warm Pliocene period. We argue that, within error, their Pliocene data actually support previously published data indicating average western warm-pool temperature similar to today and a reduced zonal gradient, referred to as...

Twenty-six renal grafts four months or more after transplantation have been shown to function satisfactorily when the donor's age has varied from 10 to 64 years and the period of warm ischaemia has been between 26 and 133 minutes. It is suggested that a more lenient view be adopted with respect to the age of the donor, but that a warm ischaemia time of two hours should not be exceeded.

Native glycogen was isolated from Tetrahymena pyriformis (HSM) by isopycnic centrifugation in cesium chloride density gradients. A density of 1.62 to 1.65 was isopycnic for glycogen. Most of the banded glycogen existed as 35 to 40 mmicro particles which had a sedimentation coefficient of 214. These particles were composed of aggregates of 2 to 3 mmicro spherical particles. Extraction of glycoge...

Background. Wrestling is one of the most popular sports in the world. United World Wrestling have developed “Wrestling+” injury prevention program similar to the FIFA 11+. Objectives. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks “Wrestling+” warm-up program on Functional Movement Screen scores in cadet wrestlers. Methods. The study population included all cadet wrest...

as water is the most restrictive factor in national agricultural production, it is necessary to take decreased water consumption and increased water us efficiency in crop production into consideration. nowadays, spring sugar beet production areas are concentrated in the region with water limitation and hence, the increase in spring production area contradicts the principle of water and soil con...

PURPOSE Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) occurs when vigorous exercise induces bronchoconstriction. Preexercise warm-up routines are frequently used to elicit a refractory period and thus reduce or prevent EIB. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of preexercise routines to attenuate EIB. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performe...
