columns like the stigmata of ascidian and doliolid tunicates, while the presumed atria extended far forwards right and left of the stigmata and therefore right and left of the pharynx, as in ascidian tunicates. Furthermore, the atria opened antero-dorsally as in ascidian tunicates, and these anterior openings were paired as in post-larval ascidian tunicates. As a tunicate, Jaekelocarpus probabl...

Maximal force production per unit of muscle mass (muscle quality, or MQ) has been used to describe the relative contribution of non-muscle-mass components to the changes in strength with age and strength training (ST). To compare the influence of age and gender on MQ response to ST and detraining, 11 young men (20-30 years), nine young women (20-30 years), 11 older men (65-75 years), and 11 old...

Link Adaptation (LA) is a term used in wireless communications to adjust the physical transmission rate of nodes according to the channel conditions it senses and optimize the bit transmission by using multi-rate transmissions. It has a direct impact on the transmissions of all active calls and can cause a general degradation on the quality of service (QoS). Besides, Call admission control (CAC...
