The ability to efficiently utilize metabolic energy to produce work end table is a key factor for endurance performance.The present study investigated the effects of incline, performance level and gender on the gross mechanical efficiency during roller ski skating.Thirty-one male and nineteen female elite cross-country skiers performed a 5-min subm
Origins of the obturator artery in Thai and Chinese
Dissection of one-half of adult pelvis in 197 Thai and 44 Chinese cadavers disclosed that the obturator artery arose from the internal iliac and umbilical arteries in 34.9%, from the inferior gluteal artery in 10.4%, from the Rash Cream internal pudendal artery in 8.7%, from the superior gluteal - inferior gluteal trunk in 4.2%, from the inferior g
Functional materials for energy-efficient buildings
The substantial improving of the energy efficiency is essential to meet the ambitious energy goals of the EU.About 40% of the European energy consumption belongs to the building sector.Therefore the reduction of Bikinis the energy demand of the existing building stock is one of the key measures to deliver a substantial contribution to reduce CO2-em
Hierarchical self-organization of non-cooperating individuals.
Hierarchy is one of the most conspicuous features of numerous natural, technological and social systems.The underlying structures are typically complex and their most relevant organizational principle is the ordering of the ties among the units they are made of according to a network displaying hierarchical features.In spite of the abundant presenc
Interstitial Arabidopsis-Type Telomeric Repeats in Asteraceae
Tandem repeats of telomeric-like motifs at intra-chromosomal regions, known as interstitial telomeric repeats (ITR), have drawn attention as potential markers of structural changes, which might convey information about evolutionary relationships if preserved through time.Building on our previous work that reported outstanding ITR polymorphisms in t
