In the face of growing competition software projects have to deliver software products faster and with better quality – thus leaving little room for unnecessary activities or non-optimal capacity. To achieve the desired high speed of the projects and the optimal capacity, bottlenecks existing in the projects have to be monitored and effectively removed. The objective of this research is to show...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the interrelationship between hormones, nutrition, and wound healing. METHODS The data on various hormones and their effects on specific elements of nutrition and wound healing are reviewed. RESULTS The key anabolic hormones are human growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1, insulin, and testosterone and its analogs. Alth...

We tested two hypotheses about the disruption of luteinizing hormone (LH) pulsatility in exercising women by assaying LH in blood samples drawn at 10-min intervals over 24 h from nine young, habitually sedentary, regularly menstruating women on days 8, 9, or 10 of two menstrual cycles after 4 days of intense exercise [E = 30 kcal.kg lean body mass (LBM)-1.day-1 at 70% of aerobic capacity]. To t...

Five cross-country runners and five competitive swimmers performed a pulling exercise with elastic shock cords and a treadmill run to exhaustion. The mean VO2 max related to lean body mass of the runners was significantly higher than the swimmers on the treadmill (p less than 0.05) while, on the pulling test, the mean VO2 max of the swimmers was significantly higher than the runners (p less 0.0...

The purposes of this study were 1) to confirm whether there is a difference in the levels of blood lactate and ammonia after supramaximal uphill and downhill running for the same short duration and 2) to examine the relationship between peak blood lactate levels and work/lean body mass (LBM), as well as the relationship between peak blood ammonia levels and work/LBM following supramaximal uphil...
