This research explores how to determine when mathematical problems are solved by retrieval versus computation strategies. Past research has indicated that verbal reports, solution latencies, and neural imaging all provide imperfect indicators of this distinction. Participants in the current study solved mathematical problems involving two distinct problem types, called 'Pyramid' and 'Formula' p...

It is unclear whether gender differences in the relative strength of the upper and lower body are due to differences in muscle mass distribution or dissimilarity of use. There is also controversy as to whether prolonged resistance training increases strength per unit cross-sectional area (CSA). To help resolve these questions, maximum isometric torque per unit muscle and bone (M+B) CSA was meas...

The present study examined the sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) activity to its inhibitor malonyl-CoA (M-CoA), and simulated metabolic conditions of rest and exercise, in aerobically trained and untrained humans. Maximal CPT I activity was measured in mitochondria isolated from resting human skeletal muscle. Mean CPT I activity was 492.8 +/- 72.8 and 260.8 +/- 33.6 microm...

Effect of high-intensity exercise training on lactate/H1 transport capacity in human skeletal muscle. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Endocrinol.

INTRODUCTION Few children in the United States achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Identifying successful interventions that increase physical activity for children is critical. This observational study evaluated the effects of Move-To-Improve (MTI), a classroom-based physical education program designed for kindergarten to third-grade teachers in New York City publi...

Several studies have shown that extensive training with synthetic speech sounds can result in substantial improvements in listeners' perception of intraphonemic differences. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of listening experience on the perception of intraphonemic differences in the absence of specific training with the synthetic speech sounds being tested. Phone...

Systemic hypoxia produces microvascular inflammation in several tissues, including skeletal muscle. Exercise training (ET) has been shown to reduce the inflammatory component of several diseases. Alternatively, ET could influence hypoxia-induced inflammation by improving tissue oxygenation or increasing mechanical antiadhesive forces at the leukocyte-endothelial interface. The effect of 5 wk of...

DOHM, G. LYNIS, RICHARD L. HUSTON, E. WAYNE ASKEW, AND PHILIP c. WIZISER. Effects of exercise on activity of heart and muscle mitochondria. Am. J. Physiol. 223(4) : 783-787. 1972.-After 12 weeks on a rigorous schedule of treadmill running, trained and untrained rats were physically exhausted to assess the effects of acute exercise on the activity of several mitochondrial enzyme systems. Skeleta...

SEVERALLS Hospital has 1,825 beds, and fairly recently was divided into a geriatric unit, and five units consisting of two wards and two villas each, with a total of some 750 beds. In spite of repeated advertisements for trained psychiatric social workers over several years, no applications had been received. At the end of 1960 the hospital authorities decided to appoint untrained social worker...
