conclusions the he jump mat can be recommended in relation to the validity of constraints. in this study, only a part of the quality criteria were examined. for the final recommendation it is advised to examine the he jump mat on the other quality criteria (test-retest reliability, sensitivity change). background in the field of vertical jump diagnostics, force plates (fp) are the reference sta...

Here we characterize the relationship between the PRE-2 pheromone receptor and its ligand, CCG-4, and the general requirements for receptors, pheromones, G proteins, and mating type genes during fusion of opposite mating-type cells and sexual sporulation in the multicellular fungus Neurospora crassa. PRE-2 is highly expressed in mat a cells and is localized in male and female reproductive struc...

Mating type genes are central to sexual reproduction and compatibility in Ascomycete fungi. However the "MAT" loci experience unique evolutionary pressures that can result in rapid divergence and enhanced inter-specific gene-flow (lateral gene transfer). In this study, molecular evolution of MAT loci was considered using the genus Fusarium (Teleomorph: Gibberella) as a model. Both MAT1-1 and MA...

Filamentous cyanobacteria often dominate benthic microbial communities of antarctic lakes and usually exhibit saturation of photosynthesis at light intensities approximately 100 microEinst m-2 s-1. Incident light regimes are controlled by ice and snow accumulations overlaying water columns during much of the year. Thus, light availability to microbial mats is often below saturation intensity an...

Dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a primary characteristic of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an experimental model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Matrine (MAT), a quinolizidine alkaloid derived from the herb Radix Sophorae Flave, has been recently found to suppress clinical EAE and CNS inflammation. However, whether this effect of MAT is through protecting the integ...

Twenty-five isolates of Fusarium fujikuroi acquired from rice seeds and rice plants evidencing symptoms of Bakanae disease were evaluated to determine their mating types and characterize the formation of their sexual state. The mating types of the isolates were evaluated via multiplex PCR with the diagnostic primers of the mating-type (MAT) region: GFmat1a, GFmat1b, GFmat2c, and GFmat2d. Among ...

A multiplex PCR test for determining mating type of the pathogens Tapesia yallundae and Tapesia acuformis is described. The test involves three primers: a "common" primer annealing to DNA sequence conserved in the flanking region of both mating-type idiomorphs and two specific primers annealing to sequence in either the MAT-1 or the MAT-2 idiomorphs. Locating the specific primers in different p...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental determination of fiber bed permeability variation with porosity. Flow measurement experiments were designed to measure fiber mat permeability for fiber beds with various fiber volume fractions. Woven fiberglass, chopped fiberglass, and carbon fiber mats were used as reinforcements. The effects of reinforcement type and porosity on fiber ...

background and objectives: infection is the most common cause of death among burnt patients and infection control decrease the rate of mortality. the use of sticky mat can control contamination by preventing the entrance microorganisms into the hospital wards. this study was designed to evaluate the sticky mats effect in reduction of microorganism’s entry by personnel shoes to burn intensive ca...

During apparatus dismounts gymnasts land from up to 4 m above the landing surface. The gymnast needs withstand high impact forces and use of mats allows attenuate with their strategy interaction mats. Competition landings various gymnastics involve a 200 mm thick mat, an additional 100 mat placed on top. purpose this research was investigate experimental protocols for measuring using force plat...
