Warming up at the poles

Warming up at the poles.

Introduction This series of meetings (Palazzo, 2002; Stearns & Winey, 1997) began as a joint ASCB/EMBO venture in 1997 with a meeting that was a landmark event, not only because a minor field had grown to fill an entire meeting, but also because key presentations defined the course of the field for years to come. The first biochemical mass spectrometric analysis of the budding yeast spindle pol...

Warming up the cold reception at a TRPM8 function.

Editor's Note: These short reviews of a recent paper in the Journal, written exclusively by graduate students or postdoctoral fellows, are intended to mimic the journal clubs that exist in your own departments or institutions.

Warming up to ischemia.

Warming-up in USRPT

Some activities for in-pool warm-ups have been evaluated. An historically important study was conducted by Carlile (1956). It was shown that the passive activity of tolerating a hot shower for as long as possible prior to performing a maximal 55-yard swim produced improved performances in all subjects significantly more than in a control group (no hot showers). A passive warm-up is possible if ...

Tracking down Penguins at the Poles

Recently, a systematic analysis of η0 pole contributions to radiative K decays was performed in the context of large Nc ChPT, in order to better understand the role of gluonic penguin operators in K → ππ transitions1. In this note, we emphasize some aspects of this study, in view of the forthcoming new experimental information on K+ → π+γγ by the NA48 Collaboration2. A number of issues, like th...
