This study was conducted on a group of male sprinters (n = 8) to compare heart rate (HR) and blood lactate (La) response in 400 m flat and 400 m hurdle running during weekly trial race. Durations of the flat and hurdle races were 51.65 +/- 1.51 and 58.27 +/- 1.97 sec respectively. Peak HR attained at the end of the flat and hurdle races were 192.4 +/- 5.3 and 193.6 +/- 4.1 beats/min, whereas, a...

The competitive disadvantage of Oklahoma and the Southwest resulting from discriminatory rates is a material factor retarding the general e...

Design for Manufacturability (DFM) has always been important, but is vital as we move to 90nm technologies. The line between defects and process variation has blurred to the point that in some cases it is no longer meaningful. This means that yield and quality level are becoming more design dependent than ever, and that test effectiveness cannot be guaranteed without strict DFM guidelines. With...
