Kathryn Maitland, Charles Newton, Kevin Marsh, Mike Levin The study by Planche et al. [1] provides important new information addressing intracellular volume depletion in children with severe childhood malaria, but does not address the question of whether intravascular volume depletion (hypovolemic shock) is present. Using sophisticated methodology to determine total body water and extracellular...

Muscle architecture has been proposed as one of the most important determinants muscle strength and power performance. The purpose present investigation was to correlate with power, agility maximal in Italian division I Field Hockey (FH) players. Twenty players (age = 25.4 ± 5.2 y; body mass 78.5 9.0 kg; height 179.6 7.8 cm) were assessed for composition, agility, sprint isometric force squat (...

In this paper we consider transformations of sequences of orthogonal polynomials associated with a Hermitian linear functional L using spectral transformations of the corresponding C-function FL. We show that a rational spectral transformation of FL with polynomial coefficients is a finite composition of four canonical spectral transformations.

The Cucurbitaceae family is noted for a diversity of sex expression phenotypes. Typically, a phase of male fl owers precedes either female or bisexual fl ower production. Sex determination of individual fl owers is regulated by a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. Ethylene, auxins, and gibberellins have all been shown to infl uence fl ower sex expression in cucurbits. ...
