UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Elite adolescent female figure skaters compete in an aesthetic-based sport that values thin builds and lithe figures. To conform to the sport's physical requirements, skaters may alter their eating patterns in unhealthful directions. This study assesses the eating attitudes and dietary intakes of elite adolescent female figure skaters to assess the potential nutritional...

Figure skating is a physically demanding sport that requires a unique combination of artistic ability, speed, agility, flexibility and power. During the last decades not only the competitive schedule has become tougher, but after introduction of the new judging system in 2003, also more emphasis is put on difficult technical elements, jumps, steps and spins (ISU Rules, 2006). More studies about...

1. Desirability Index 1.1 Comparing Experimental Participants to Other Clients We first show that the experimental participants are comparable to regular clients of the dating site. We compare the distribution of the desirability index among experimental participants and regular members of the dating company. Regular members are individuals who used the dating service between January 2005 and J...

The Journal of Cell Biology instituted electronic submission of manuscripts in December, 2001. Our brief experience in handling the review process electronically has raised an important issue regarding the manipulation of digital images that I would like to bring to the attention of the members of the cell biology community, who are our authors and reviewers. Our concern is not that the manipul...

The case presents a Caucasian female, who had been consulting dermatology for nine years for asymptomatic lesions on the central thorax, present from the first days of life. On physical examination, multiple brown and skin-colored papules were observed 2-3 mm in size (Figure 1). With dermoscopy (polarized light), the lesions showed an agminated homogeneous blue pattern (Figure 2) and a pore, th...

Grasshoppers are divided into two major subgroups: the short-horned grasshoppers (Figure 1) and the long-horned grasshoppers, Mormon crickets and katydids (Figure 2). Short-horned grasshoppers are responsible for most of the reported crop losses. As a result, individuals of this subgroup are popularly referred to as “grasshoppers.” Figure 1. A mature two-striped female grasshopper (Melanoplus b...
