Physiology is often considered a challenging course for students. It is up to teachers to structure courses and create learning opportunities that will increase the chance of student success. In an undergraduate exercise physiology course, concept maps are assigned to help students actively process and organize information into manageable and meaningful chunks and to teach them to recognize the...

In this note we improve the known L p-bounds for Bochner-Riesz operators and their maximal operators.

We review recent progress in the gauging of maximal supergravity theories.

Let X be a Tychonoff space and A a subalgebra of C(X) containing C∗(X). Suppose that CK(X) is the set of all functions in C(X) with compact support. Kohls has shown that CK(X) is precisely the intersection of all the free ideals in C(X) or in C∗(X). In this paper we have proved the validity of this result for the algebra A. Gillman and Jerison have proved that for a realcompact space X, CK(X) i...

PURPOSE To analyze the load-, force-, and power-velocity relationships and determine the load that optimizes power output on the pull-up exercise. METHODS Eighty-two resistance-trained men (age 26.8 ± 5.0 y; pull-up 1-repetition maximum [1-RM; normalized per kg of body mass] 1.5 ± 0.34) performed 2 repetitions with 4 incremental loads (range 70-100%1-RM) in the pull-up exercise while mean pro...

We investigate harmonic forms of geometrically formal metrics, which are defined as those having the exterior product of any two harmonic forms still harmonic. We prove that a formal Sasakian metric can exist only on a real cohomology sphere and that holomorphic forms of a formal Kähler metric are parallel w.r.t. the Levi-Civita connection. In the general Riemannian case a formal metric with ma...

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) initiates potent anti-inflammatory effects via activating its cell surface receptor, composed of IL-10R1 and IL-10R2 subunits. The level of IL-10R1 is a major determinant of the cells' responsiveness to IL-10. Here, via a series of biochemical analyses using 293T cells reconstituted with IL-10R1, we identify the latter as a novel substrate of βTrCP-containing ubiquitin E3...

We suppose that S is a smooth hypersurface in Rn+1 with Gaussian curvature re and surface measure dS, it) is a compactly supported cut-off function, and we let pa be the surface measure with dßa = u>Ka dS. In this paper we consider the case where S is the graph of a suitably convex function, homogeneous of degree d, and estimate the Fourier transform ßa. We also show that if S is convex, with n...

The study investigated differences in skeletal muscle function between obese and non-obese children using a force platform. Forty obese children and adolescents (age range 8 to 18 years; 21 girls) and 40 age- and sex-matched controls performed two tests: (1) single two-legged jump, a countermovement jump for maximal height; (2) multiple one-legged hopping on the forefoot, a test of maximal forc...

Given an approach region Γ ∈ Z+ and a pair U , V of commuting nonperiodic measure preserving transformations on a probability space (Ω,Σ, μ), it is shown that either the associated multiparameter ergodic averages of any function in L(Ω) converge a.e. or that, given a positive increasing function φ on [0,∞) that is o(log x) as x → ∞, there exists a function g ∈ Lφ(L) (Ω) whose associated multipa...
