- 2381: The Use of Supplements Creatine, Androstenedione, and HMB
- ... rescue by giving up its phosphate molecule to ADP, recreating ATP. This ATP can then be burned again as fuel for more muscle contraction. The primary purpose of phosphocreatine is to re-supply ADP with high-energy phosphates to buffer levels of ATP when ATP levels are falling rapidly as in intense exercise. ATP is the only direct source of energy that can be used by the cells. Glucose and free ... cell utilizes to do work such as muscular contraction. Skeletal muscle fatigues if ATP levels fall below 25-30% (ATP levels can not fall below 70%)(3). Creatine phosphate then acts as a reserve of high-energy phosphates. It transfers its phosphates to ADP to regenerate ATP while the glycolytic pathway is still warming-up. Indeed it has been shown in studies that phosphocreatine usage peaks within a third of the ... lactate levels after exercise (4). An increase ratio of ATP to ADP in skeletal muscle cells (fiber) causes the cells to be more relaxed during the resting state. Therefore, they have greater contractile potential for high-powered movements(1). Such as throwing a shot put or performing a high jump. Creatine is a true athletes supplement. It allows an athlete to become bigger, faster, and stronger. Creatine almost works like ...

- ... the supply while the black goes to the ground. The input enters from pin 6 and 2 of the 555 IC. If the voltage is LOW, the bottom LED lights. If the input voltage is HIGH, the top LED lights. When the input probe is disconnected, both LEDs light. Note that pin 3 of the 555 IC always goes to the opposite logic level of the input. Therefore, if the input is HIGH, the output of the 555 IC, which is pin 3, goes LOW. This in turn activates and lights the top LED (the HIGH indicator). Logic probes derive their operating power from the PCB under test. Care should be taken in attaching the clips to safe voltages; you may want to first use a Volt Meter (Digital Multi ...

CU-SeeMe was designed and implemented to provide "desktop videoconferencing" to people sharing a high-speed network, such as a campus-wide or company-wide 10 megabit/second Ethernet local area network. Almost immediately after its public release CU-SeeMe was taken on a digital joy-ride in directions its creators never imagined. Newcomers to the Internet, old-timers, students, telecommuters, educators, and artists began to use CU-SeeMe for their work, their play, and their artistic creations. And we didn't have high-speed networks; those who could afford it used the state-of-the-art 14.4 kbps of the day. CU-SeeMe was created at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, USA These are the ...

Although the price of the computer hardware and software has been one of the major factors prohibiting wide spread availability of virtual reality ... the instrumentation. During combat this is unacceptable. It occurred to Furness that he could display computer graphic representations of information outside the cockpit using the same type of technology. In effect the first work on high-tech flight simulators was begun. Furness depicted the three-dimensional graphic space through which the pilot was flying. This display rendered graphic objects of enemy missiles and enemy airspace. Pilots could look around in ...
