A group of 15 untrained male subjects pedalled on a friction-loaded cycle ergometer as fast as possible for 5–7 s to reach
the maximal velocity (V{immax}) against different braking forces (F
B). Power was averaged during a complete crank rotation by adding the power dissipated againstF
B to the power necessary to accelerate the flywheel. For each sprint, determinations were made of peak power output (
) power output attained atV
max (
) calculated as the product ofV
max andF
B and the work performed to reachV
max expressed in mean power output (
). The relationships between these parameters andF
B were examined. A biopsy taken from the vastus lateralis muscle and tomodensitometric radiographs of both thighs were taken
at rest to identify muscle metabolic and morphometric properties. The
value was similar for allF
B. Therefore, the average of values was defined as corrected maximal power (
). This value was 11 higher than the maximal power output uncorrected for the acceleration. Whereas the
determination did not require high loads, the highest
value (
) was produced when loading was heavy, as evidenced by the
-F
B parabolic relationship. For each subject, the braking force (
) giving
was defined as optimal. The
, equal to 0.844 (SD 0.108) N · kg−1 bodymass, was related to thigh muscle area (r = 0.78,P < 0.05). The maximal velocity (
) reached against this force seemed to be related more to intrinsic fibre properties (% fast twitch b fibre area and adenylate
kinase activity). Thus, from the
determination, it is suggested that it should be possible to predict the conditions for optimal exercise on a cycle ergometer. 相似文献

Summary Indices of salt resistance, based on the measurement of the Mean Relative Growth Rate
of the total plant biomass were shown to be more reliable and easily obtained than those based on the rooting technique.
Adaptation to salinity stress (NaCl toxicity, osmotic stress) differs essentially from heavy metal stress (mainly ion-toxicity).
Extension of the root system under saline conditions should therefore be regarded as a compensatory growth mechanism rather
than the direct result of salt stimulation.
The application of the rooting technique for optimum measurement of salt resistance is questioned.
The
index of salt resistance technique may be applied to all vascular plants, while unmodified application of the rooting technique
is confined to certain groups of the Monocotyledonae. 相似文献

Summary Barley plants (Hordeum vulgare L.) grown from seed for 28 days in flowing solution culture were subjected to different root temperatures (3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 25°C) for 14 days with a common air temperature of 25/15°C (day/night). Uptake of NH4 and NO3 ions was monitored separately and continuously from solutions maintained at 10 M NH4NO3 and pH 6.0. Effects of root temperature on unit absorption rate
, flux
and inflow
were compared. After 5 days
,
and
increased with temperature over the range 3–11°C for NH4 ions and over the range 3–13°C for NO3 ions, with little change for either ion above these temperatures. Q10 temperature coefficients for NH4 ions (3–13°C) were 1.9, 1.7 and 1.6 for
,
and
respectively, the corresponding values for NO3 ions being 5.0, 4.5 and 4.6. For both ions,
,
and
changed with time as did their temperature dependence over the range 3–25°C, suggesting that rates of ontogenetic development and the extent of adaptation to temperature may have varied among treatments. 相似文献

It has been shown in earlier work that one approach to what Rashevsky has called “abstract biology” is through the study of
the class of (
)-systems that can be formed in an arbitrary subcategory of the category of sets. The concept of the (
)-system, however, depends on the availability of mappings that contain other mappings in their range. It is shown that, by
introducing an appropriate measure for this property, the problem of characterizing those categories suitable for a rich theory
of (
)-systems reduces to a problem familiar from the general theory of graphs. Some new results in these directions are obtained,
and it is then shown that any category with mappings that possess properties we might expect to hold in the physical world
will also admit a rich theory of (
)-systems. In particular, it is shown that a sufficiently large family of mappings drawn at random from such a category will
with overwhelming probability contain an (
)-system.

Undifferentiated Friend erythroleukemic cells (FL cells) acquire membrane microviscosity (
), in accord with the culture cell density. At low cell density
poise, whereas at confluency it increases to
poise. Concomitantly, the total number of available transferrin receptors per cell decreases by about 80% upon increase in
cell density. Modulation of membrane microviscosity, by artificial alteration of the membrane cholesterol level, mediates
similar modulations of the availability of the transferrin receptors. The correlation between the availability of the transferrin
receptors and the membrane lipid fluidity may take part in the overt decrease in iron uptake by erythroid cells along the
erythropoiesis pathway. 相似文献

A quantitative study of these three subsets
in the three frames 0, 1, 2 of protein genes, and the 5′ and 3′ regions of eukaryotes, shows that their occurrence frequencies
are constant functions of the trinucleotide positions in the sequences. The frequencies of
in the frame 0 of protein genes are 49, 28.5 and 22.5% respectively. In contrast, the frequencies of
in the 5′ and 3′ regions of eukaryotes, are independent of the frame. Indeed, the frequency of

, both equal to 32.25% (respectively 31%) in the three frames.
Several frequency asymmetries unexpectedly observed (e.g. the frequency difference between

in the frame 0), are related to a new property of the subset
involving substitutions. An evolutionary analytical model at three parameters (p, q, t) based on an independent mixing of the 22 codons (trinucleotides in frame 0) of
with equiprobability (1/22) followed by t ≈ 4 substitutions per codon according to the proportions p ≈ 0.1; q ≈ 0.1 and r = 1 − p − q ≈ 0.8 in the three codon sites respectively, retrieves the frequencies of
observed in the three frames of protein genes and explains these asymmetries. Furthermore, the same model (0.1, 0.1, t) after t ≈ 22 substitutions per codon, retrieves the statistical properties observed in the three frames of the 5′ and 3′ regions.
The complex behaviour of these analytical curves is totally unexpected and a priori difficult to imagine. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to assess the relationship between the rapidity of increased gas exchange (i.e. oxygen uptake
) and increased cardiac output (
) during the transient phase following the onset of exercise. Five healthy male subjects performed multiple rest-exercise or light exercise (25 W)-exercise transitions on an electrically braked ergometer at exercise intensities of 50, 75, or 100 W for 6 min, respectively. Each transition was performed at least eight times for each load in random order. The
was obtained by a breath-by-breath method, and
was measured by an impedance method during normal breathing, using an ensemble average. On transitions from rest to exercise,
rapidly increased during phase I with time constants of 6.8–7.3 s. The
also showed a similar rapid increment with time constants of 6.0–6.8 s with an apparent increase in stroke volume (SV). In this phase I,
increased to about 29.7%–34.1% of the steady-state value and
increased to about 58.3%–87.0%. Thereafter, some 20 s after the onset of exercise a mono-exponential increase to steady-state occurred both in
and
with time constants of 26.7–32.3 and 23.7–34.4 s, respectively. The insignificant difference between
and
time constants in phase I and the abrupt increase in both
and SV at the onset of exercise from rest provided further evidence for a cardiodynamic contribution to
following the onset of exercise from rest. 相似文献

Summary Six Standardbred horses were used to evaluate the time course of pulmonary gas exchange, ventilation, heart rate (HR) and acid base balance during different intensities of constant-load treadmill exercise. Horses were exercised at approximately 50%, 75% and 100% maximum oxygen uptake (
max) for 5 min and measurements taken every 30 s throughout exercise. At all work rates, the minute ventilation, respiratory frequency and tidal volume reached steady state values by 60 s of exercise. At 100%
max, the oxygen consumption (
) increased to mean values of approximately 130 ml/kg·min, which represents a 40-fold increase above resting
. At the low and moderate work rates,
showed no significant change from 30 s to 300 s of exercise. At the high work rate, the mean
at 30 s was 80% of the value at 300 s. The HR showed no significant change over time at the moderate work rate but differing responses at the low and high work rates. At the low work rate, the mean HR decreased from 188 beats/min at 30 s to 172 beats/min at 300 s exercise, whereas at the high work rate the mean HR increased from 204 beats/min at 30 s to 221 beats/min at 300 s exercise. No changes in acid base status occurred during exercise at the low work rate. At the moderate work rate, a mild metabolic acidosis occurred which was nonprogressive with time, whereas the high work rate resulted in a progressive metabolic acidosis with a base deficit of 16 mmol/l by 300 s exercise. It is concluded that the kinetics of gas exchange during exercise are more rapid in the horse than in man, despite the relatively greater change in
in the horse when going from rest to high intensity exercise.Symbols and abbreviations E

The position of the body and use of the respiratory muscles in the act of rowing may limit ventilation and thereby reduce maximal aerobic power relative to that achieved in cycling or running, in spite of the greater muscle mass involved in rowing. This hypothesis was investigated for three groups of male subjects: nine elite senior oarsmen, eight former senior oarsmen and eight highly trained athletes unskilled in rowing. The subjects performed graded exercise to maximal effort on a rowing ergometer, cycle ergometer and treadmill while respiratory minute volume
and oxygen consumption
were monitored continuously. The VE at a given
during intense submaximal exercise (greater than 75% of maximal
) was not significantly lower in rowing compared with that in cycling and treadmill running for any group, which would suggest that submaximal rowing does not restrict ventilation. At maximal effort,
and
for rowing were less than those for the other types of exercise in all the groups, although the differences were not statistically significant in the elite oarsmen. These data are consistent with a ventilatory limitation to maximal performance in rowing that may have been partly overcome by training in the elite oarsmen. Alternatively, a lower maximal VE in rowing might have been an effect rather than a cause of a lower maximal
if maximal
was limited by the lower rate of muscle activation in rowing. 相似文献

Summary The influence of NPK-fertilizer on decomposition of litter layers and deposited logging residues (brash) on a clearfelled
Sitka spruce stand was followed during two years by zero-tension lysimetry and litterbags. Root development of second rotation
planted trees on this peaty gley soil are restricted to the litter layers (LFH) and without fertilizer are dependent on its
decomposition for release of nutrients. A comparison of fertilized and control plots showed few site differences and similar
hydrological properties.
Fertilizer addition (urea-N, rock-P and KCl) immediately raised leachate concentrations of NH4−N, K and PO4−P, the last remaining high over the period. NO3−N increased dramatically in the second year leachates from the fertilized area. Within two years 45, 60 and 75% of added
NPK respectively were recovered in leachates.
Two-year-old litter in litterbags lost weight significantly more slowly after fertilization. The calculated
values were 0.28 (control plot) and 0.15 (fertilized plot). Mean
values were derived from individual regressions and allowed microsite variation to be assessed. The difference in
is attributed to available C limitation although N concentration of needles increased on both plots, P concentration increased
slowly on the control plot while K and Mg decreased on both. Ca concentrations doubled with fertilization and remained constant
over two years.
The rapid loss of fertilizer and slight response from planted trees indicate delayed application of fertilizers may be desirable. 相似文献

Linkage analysis using multiple DNA polymorphic markers in normal families and in families with fragile X syndrome 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3

Summary Linkage data, using the polymorphic markers 52A (DXS51), F9, 4D-8(DXS98), and St14(DXS52), are presented from 14 fragile X pedigrees and from 7 normal pedigrees derived from the collection of the Centre d'Étude du Polymorphisme Humaine. A multipoint linkage analysis indicates that the most probable order of these four loci in normal families is DXS51-F9-DXS98-DXS52. Recombination frequencies (
) corresponding to maximum LOD scores (
) were obtained by two-point linkage analysis for a nuber of linkage groups, including: DXS51-F9 (
=5.94,
=0.03), F9-DXS98 (
=0.51,
=0.26), F9-DXS52 (
=0.84,
=0.27), and DXS98-DXS52 (
=0.32,
=0.20). A multipoint linkage analysis of these loci, including the fragile X locus, was also performed for the fragile X population and the data support the relative order (DSX51, F9, DXS98)-FRAXA-DXS52. Recombination frequencies and maximum LOD scores, which again were derived from two-point linkage analyses, were obtained for the linkage groups DXS51-F9 (
=9.96,
=0) and F9-DXS52 (
=0.07,
=0.45), as well as for the groups DXS51-FRAXA (
=2.42,
=0.15), F9-FRAXA (
=1.30,
=0.18), DXS98-FRAXA (
=0.05
=0.36), and DXS52-FRAXA (
=2.42
=0.15). The linkage data was further tested for the presence of genetic heterogeneity both within and between the fragile X and normal families for the intervals DXS51-F9, F9-DXS52, F9-FRAXA, and DXS52-FRAXA using a modification of the A test. Except for the interval F9-FRAXA (P<0.10) there was no evidence of genetic heterogeneity for each of the various linkage groups examined. The heterogeneity detected for the interval F9-FRAXA, however, was most likely due to one family (Fx-28) that displayed very tight linkage between these two loci. 相似文献

Summary The resting membrane potential data existing in the literature for the giant axon of the squid, frog muscle and barnacle muscle have been analyzed from the standpoint of the theory of membrane potential due to Kobatake and co-workers. The average values derived for the effective charge density
(where
is a constant,
, and represents the fraction of counterions that are free, and
is the stoichiometric charge density in the membrane) present on the different biomembranes existing in their normal ionic environment are 0.3, 0.325 and 0.17 M for the squid axon, frog and barnacle muscles, respectively. On the assumption that the values of
are 0.4 and 0.2 for nerve and muscle membranes, respectively, values of 0.75, 1.62 and 0.85 M have been derived for the stoichiometric charge density
present in the respective biological membranes. These correspond to 1 negative charge per 222, 103 and 195 Å of the membrane area of the squid axon, frog and barnacle muscles, respectively. 相似文献

Growth of Oscillatoria agardhil was studied in ammonium-limited chemostat cultures, at various dilution rates (=growth rates, μ). The uptake kinetics for
ammonium of nitrogen (ammonium or nitrate)-limited chemostat cultures also was investigated.
The kinetics of ammonium-limited growth could be adequately described by both the Monod and Droop equations, and were closely
similar to the nitrate-limited growth kinetics of this species. The uptake kinetics for ammonium showed similarities as well
as differences with the uptake kinetics for nitrate. The similarities were apparent in the uptake capacity values for ammonium
and nitrate
, which were identical, high and independent of μ. The differences were to be found in the half-saturation constants for ammonium
uptake
and nitrate uptake
, the former being hardly influenced by μ. A consitutive, high affinity, system is likely to operate in the uptake and assimilation
of ammonium by nitrogen-limited O. agardhii.
The use of ammonium uptake parameters in studies of growth-limiting factors in nature can provide information as to whether
a nitrogen-limitation prevails in natural habitats of this species. 相似文献

To assess the rate-limiting factor of oxygen uptake (
) kinetics at the onset of exercise, six healthy male sedentary subjects performed repeated one-legged constant-load cycle exercise. The one-legged constant-load exercise test consisted of two 5-min periods of pedalling at an exercise intensity of 50 W, with a 5-min rest between periods (these exercise periods, i.e. first and second exercises, were performed by the same leg). The exercise was then repeated using the other leg. In addition, two-legged incremental exercise was investigated to establish whether
kinetics were affected by slower heart rate kinetics. The incremental exercise test consisted of two-legged pedalling first with the cycle unloaded as a warm-up for 5 min followed by 50-W exercise for 5 min. The exercise intensity was then increased to 100 W for 5 min. During exercise, gas exchange parameters were determined by the breath-by-breath method and cardiac output (
) was determined continuously by an impedance technique with a computer-based automated system. To determine the kinetics of heart rate (HR),
and
, a best fit procedure was employed using least-squares criteria with a time delay, except during the initial increase. During the one-legged constant-load exercise test,
kinetics were significantly accelerated by repeated exercise using the same leg. On the other hand, when the exercise was changed to the other leg,
kinetics were significantly slower, although
kinetics continued to be faster. During the incremental exercise test, although the HR response was slower at the transition from 50-W to 100-W exercise than at the transition from warm-up to 50-W exercise, there were no significant changes in
kinetics. These findings suggest that
kinetics may be affected by metabolic conditions in the muscle, but not by blood flow (
and/or HR) kinetics. 相似文献

max in 38 elite male long - distance runners
max = 71.4 ± 5.5 ml.kg–1.min–1 and
max = 21.8 ± 1.2 km.h–1). The lactate threshold (LT) was defined as a starting point of accelerated lactate accumulation around 4 mM and was expressed in
max. Tlim value was negatively correlated with
max (r = -0.362, p< 0.05) and
max (r = –0.347, p< 0.05) but positively with LT (%v
max) (r = 0.378, p < 0.05). These data demonstrate that running time to exhaustion at
max in a homogeneous group of elite male long-distance runners was inversely related to
max and experimentally illustrates the model of Monod and Scherrer regarding the time limit-velocity relationship adapted from local exercise for running by Hughson et al. (1984) . 相似文献

intensities. Our model also allows us to predict the oxygen uptake time series given the time series for the exercise intensity
as well as to investigate the oxygen uptake response to nonlinear exercise intensities. Neither of these features is possible
using the currently used three-phase model. We also present a review of both the underlying physiology and the three-phase

Summary The resting oxygen consumption
and breathing pattern of nine newborn and adult species (ranging in body size from mouse to human) have been compared on the basis of data collected from the literature. Minute ventilation
is similarly linked to
at both ages, the percent of
extracted as O2
about 2.2. Tidal volume/kg is an interspecies constant in newborns and adults, approximately 8 ml/kg. Breathing frequency decreases with the increase in size in a different way at the two ages: large species have newborns breathing at rates 2–3 times above the corresponding adults' values, while in the small species newborns and adults breathe at almost the same rate. Therefore the newborns of the smallest species have both
and
below the expected values, implying a greater inability to cope with the external demands than newborns of larger species. Several considerations indicate that in the smallest newborns the mechanical properties of the respiratory system could be a constraint to resting ventilations larger than observed. It is therefore possible that their low
is the cause, and not the effect, of the relatively small
