The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of extreme exercise on vitamin B-6
metabolism and urea nitrogen. Nine men and five women completed two 5-day trials; Trial 1
(T1) included a 50-km ultramarathon on day 4 and during Trial 2 (T2) subjects were "inactive"
on day 4....
A transient code (TFETC) for calculating the temperature
distribution throughout the radial and axial positions of a
thermionic fuel element (TFE) has been successfully developed.
It accommodates the variations of temperatures, thermal power,
electrical power, voltage, and current density throughout the
TFE as a function of time as well as...
The enantioselective total synthesis of quinolizidine-containing natural product cermizine D and formal syntheses of senepodine G and cermizine C has been achieved. These natural products are members of the lycopodium alkaloids, which have attracted significant attention due to their exciting biological activities and the diverse structural scaffolds. Key steps in...
This multidisciplinary study integrates remote sensing, stratigraphy, siliciclastic and carbonate sedimentology, tectonics, and petrography of the Nisai, Khojak and Sharankar Formations to reveal the Paleogene depositional, diagenetic and deformational history of the Katawaz Basin.
Study of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) digital data shows that maximum discrimination of different rocks is...
