The goal of this study was the investigation of the relationship between 200 m performance and motor abilities and anthropometric characteristics of different level of male sprinters (200 m performance 23.80 ± 2.16 s--the best results 21.40 s). The physical fitness measures included: 50 m from standing and flying start, standing long jump (SLJ) standing five jump (SFJ), double and single leg co...

PURPOSE The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex comprises M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and M. africanum, and causes tuberculosis in humans and animals. Identification of Mycobacterium spp. and M. tuberculosis complex to the species level is important for practical use in microbiological laboratories, in addition to optimal treatment and public health. MATE...

There are p-local spectra T (m) with BP∗(T (m)) = BP∗[t1, . . . , tm]. In this paper we determine the first nontrivial differential in the Adams– Novikov spectral sequence for each of them for p odd. For m = 0 (the sphere spectrum) this is the Toda differential, whose source has filtration 2 and whose target is the first nontrivial element in filtration 2p + 1. The same goes for m = 1, and for ...

A new component of the complement (C).system, with a specific binding affinity for the activated Ss-protein (C4) has been identified in mouse serum. This protein, named Ss- (or C4)-binding protein (Ss-bp), was purified about 200 times from mouse plasma. Ss-bp is a heat stable (56 degrees C, 60 rain) beta-globulin with a sedimentation coefficient in sucrose density ultracentrifugation of 10s. It...

background: tuberculosis (tb) is a major cause of death worldwide. finding an effective vaccine against tb is the best way to control it. several vaccines against this disease have been developed but none are completely protective. the aim of this study was to design and construct a cloning vector containing the mycobacterium tuberculosis (m. tuberculosis) heat shock protein x (hspx). methods: ...

BACKGROUND Left-ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity. Antihypertensive treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) is able to induce the regression of LVH in adults. However, there has been no study of the ability of ACEI to induce the regression of LVH in children. Our aim was to investigate the effect of ramipril on left-ventricular ma...

base pairs (bp) from the C1H4 gene segment into unrelated rearrangements of V186.2. In the sample from B220lo GC cells, only a single VH V23 rearrangement encoded the YYYGS motif in CDR3, and three rearrangements, all V186.2, were not in-frame. Two of these nonproductive (nP) rearrangements resulted from incomplete codons at the V-D-J junction, whereas the third contained a complex 215-bp inser...

We investigated mtDNA sequence variation in five populations of the loggerhead shrike Lanius ludovicianus, representing four subspecies, including the San Clemente loggerhead shrike L. l. mearnsi, a critically endangered California Channel Island endemic. Variability in 200 bp of control region and 200 bp of cytochrome b was extremely low, and defined four haplotypes. Strong structure was appar...
