This study was designed to examine the physiological changes caused by long-term training in a world class female tennis player in preparation for a major championship. Additionally, we aim to describe the training interventions and determine a suitable cooling strategy that was to be used at the 2004 Paralympic Games. The athlete underwent regular physiological assessment during 2003-2004. Phy...

The formation of the Earth's Moon commonly involves a theory where Theia, a Mars-sized object [1,2], encounters the proto-Earth via a Giant Impact. Updated measurements based on lunar samples indicate an age of the Moon to be roughly 70-110 Myr [3,4] younger than the Calcium Aluminum Inclusions in the chondritic meteorites. This implies that Theia likely existed for 20-80 Myr as one of five sur...

Radiolysis of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was investigated in aqueous samples with different initial conditions: [SMX]0 (20 μM ÷ 140 μM), pH0 (2.0 ÷ 11.0), [H2O2]0 (0 ÷ 10 mM) and absorbed doses (D, 0.3 kGy ÷ 5.0 kGy). Five transformation products (TPs) of SMX were experimentally identified and evaluated using HPLC/UV and LC-QTOF-MS, respectively. Compared to the precursor SMX, they possess higher p...

Abstract. MacMahon’s definition of self-inverse composition is extended to n-colour self-inverse composition. This introduces four new sequences which satisfy the same recurrence relation with different initial conditions like the famous Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. For these new sequences explicit formulas, recurrence relations, generating functions and a summation formula are obtained. Two ...
