- 147: What is ISDN?
- ... protocol information is also sent, making the connection instantaneous. [Griffiths] ISDN Concepts: With ISDN, voice and data are carried by bearer channels (B channels) occupying a bandwidth of 64 kbit/s each. A delta channel (D channel) handles signalling at 16 kbit/s or 64 kbit/s. H channels are provided for user information at higher bit rates. [Stallings] There are two types of ISDN service: Basic Rate ISDN (BRI) and Primary Rate ISDN (PRI). BRI: consists of two 64 kbit/s B channels and one 16 kbit/s D channel for a total of 144 kbit/s. The basic service is intended to meet the needs of most individual users. PRI: intended for users with greater capacity requirements. Typically the channel structure is 23 B channels plus one 64 kbit/s D channel for a total of 1.544 Mbit/s. H channels can also be implemented: H0=384 kbit/s, H11=1536 kbit/s, H12=1920 kbit/s.

We are not able ... allowed one to "telescope the future into the present", as the President's Committee on Social Trends noted18. This strategy created artificial demand for products which people could not ordinarily afford. It put off the day of reckoning, but it made the downfall worse when it came.

- 149: Creatine Supplements and Athletes
- ... ADP must be sustained at longer rate. Having more PCr in the muscles can continue the reconstruction of ATP for longer periods. It has been reported that short-term creatine supplementation (15 to 25 grams/day for 5 to 7 days) has increased PCr stores by 10 to 40%. Performance in the 5 to 7 days of creatine supplementation has improved high intensity exercise from maximal power/strength to work performed during repetitive sprint performance. Long-term supplementation of creatine (15 to 25 grams/day, for 5 to 7 days and 2 to 25 grams/day thereafter for 7 to 84 days) has suggested significantly greater gains in strength and sprint performances. This extra PCr in the muscle regenerate ATP at a faster and longer rate comparison to subjects with ...
