Thin and fat sets for doubling measures in metric spaces
We consider sets in uniformly perfect metric spaces which are null for every doubling measure of the space or which have positive measure for all doubling measures. These sets are called thin and fat, respectively. In our main results, we give sufficient conditions for certain cut-out sets being thin or fat.
New approach to numerical computation of the eigenfunctions of the continuous spectrum of three-particle Schrödinger operator: I. One-dimensional particles, short-range pair potentials
Basing on analogy between the three-body scattering problem and the diffraction problem of the plane wave (for the case of the short range pair potentials) by the system of six half transparent screens, we presented a new approach to the few-body scattering problem. The numerical results have been obtained for the case of the short range nonnegative pair potentials. The presented method allows a natural generalization to the case of the long range pair potentials.
A function whose graph has positive doubling measure
We show that a doubling measure on the plane can give positive measure to the graph of a continuous function. This answers a question by Wang, Wen and Wen. Moreover we show that the doubling constant of the measure can be chosen to be arbitrarily close to the doubling constant of the Lebesgue measure.
Rigidity of quasisymmetric mappings on self-affine carpets
We show that the class of quasisymmetric maps between horizontal self-affine carpets is rigid. Such maps can only exist when the dimensions of the carpets coincide, and in this case, the quasisymmetric maps are quasi-Lipschitz. We also show that horizontal self-affine carpets are minimal for the conformal Assouad dimension.
Effects of alfa-hydroxy-isocaproic acid on body composition, DOMS and performance in athletes
Abstract Background Alfa-Hydroxy-isocaproic acid (HICA) is an end product of leucine metabolism in human tissues such as muscle and connective tissue. According to the clinical and experimental studies, HICA can be considered as an anti-catabolic substance. The present study investigated the effects of HICA supplementation on body composition, delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) and physical performance of athletes during a training period. Methods Fifteen healthy male soccer players (age 22.1+/-3.9 yr) volunteered for the 4-week double-blind study during an intensive training period. The subjects in the group HICA (n = 8) received 583 mg of sodium salt of HICA (corresponding 500 mg of …
α-Hydroxy-Isocaproic Acid (HICA)—Effects on Body Composition, Muscle Soreness and Athletic Performance
Alfa-hydroxy-isocaproic acid (HICA) is an end product of leucine metabolism in human tissues such as muscle and connective tissue. Clinical and experimental studies indicate that HICA may be considered as an anti-catabolic substance. Intensive exercise leads not only to anabolism but also to catabolism in the muscle. The latter is associated with breakdown of muscle proteins and delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Several studies indicate that free branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), especially leucine, and their transaminated metabolites, such as α-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC), may alleviate symptoms associated with exercise-induced catabolism. Recent findings suggest that HICA effectively …
Random cutout sets with spatially inhomogeneous intensities
We study the Hausdorff dimension of Poissonian cutout sets defined via inhomogeneous intensity measures on Ahlfors-regular metric spaces. We obtain formulas for the Hausdorff dimension of such cutouts in self-similar and self-conformal spaces using the multifractal decomposition of the average densities for the natural measures.
