Antioxidants and Exercise

Key antioxidants include Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Carotenoids, Glutathione (GSH), and Coenzyme Q10 (Q10).

Enzymatic Antioxidant Systems

• Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
• Catalase
• Glutathione Peroxidase

Functions of Antioxidants

• Neutralize free radicals by donating electrons (e-) and hydrogen ions (H+).
• Decrease lipid peroxidation both at rest and after exercise.
• Note: Supplementation may not necessarily decrease overall oxidative stress markers.
• Note: Vitamin E supplementation does not appear to decrease neutrophil count after exercise.

Benefits and Roles of Oxidative Species

• Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) are important for cellular development, function, and as stimuli (cellular messaging) – involved

In professional and personal contexts, knowing how to write a sincere and effective apology is crucial. This document outlines key elements and provides an example to help you master the art of apology communication.

Key Elements of an Apology Letter or Email

A well-structured apology addresses the issue clearly, expresses genuine regret, explains the situation, outlines corrective actions, and offers appropriate compensation or goodwill gestures.

Introduction: Acknowledging the Issue

• Thank you for your letter...
• I was sorry to hear that...
• Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Apology: Expressing Regret

• I can only apologize for...
• Please accept my sincere apologies (for...).
• We apologize for any inconvenience caused / for the inconvenience.

Communicative Competence in English

Acquisition, Learning, and Teaching Methods

Communicative competence is the main objective in English language learning. It involves developing several subcompetences:

1. Linguistic: Understanding and using vocabulary, grammar, and syntax.
2. Strategic: Using techniques to overcome language gaps and modify text for audience and purpose. Acquiring conversational fluency.
3. Socio-linguistic: Having knowledge of the social rules of language, non-verbal behaviors, and cultural references.
4. Discourse: Understanding how ideas are connected through patterns of organization, cohesive, and transitional devices.

Block of Contents

1. Oral texts comprehension (Listening).
2. Oral texts production, expression, and interaction (Speaking).
3. Written

Refugee Movements: The Syrian Crisis

The Worst European Humanitarian Crisis Since WWII

The current situation of Syrian refugees is the worst European humanitarian crisis since World War II. Thousands of people are fleeing the war in the Middle East, crossing the Mediterranean Sea, and seeking refuge in Europe. Many have died trying to reach European shores, and those who have arrived now face a lack of aid from the EU.

The Origins of the Conflict

The conflict's origin can be traced back to the Arab Spring of 2010, when numerous conflicts erupted between populations and dictators in several countries. While Tunisia and Egypt saw changes in their governments, the dictators of Libya and Syria refused to relinquish power.

Polymerization –plus and minus ends of actin, Kd, critical concentration, phases of growth of polymers (lag, growth, and steady-state), nucleating factors, why growth occurs preferentially at plus end.

a.High Kd and Cc= ADP + Factin lower affinity actin so dissociate

b.Lower kd and Cc= Gactin/Factin + ATP higher affinity actin so dissociate

c.Profilin and thymosin: Profilin binds to (-) end = plus end grow fast

d.Thymosin buffer + actin monomer = prevent polymerization or ATP hydrolysis.

e.Actin monomer (is above Kd) & regulates actin filament assembly.

Arp2/3 comples to make a seed (nucleate) acting growth. Can create tree-like web

Java LinkedQueue Implementation (Generic)

This document presents the source code for a generic LinkedQueue class in Java. This implementation uses a singly linked list structure, adheres to the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principle, and implements the Iterable interface.

package org.mp.repaso;

import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.NoSuchElementException;

public class LinkedQueue<T> implements Iterable<T> {

Derivadas

derivative rules

der(x^a) = a . x^a-1

der(a) = 0

(f+-g)' = f' + g'

(a.f)' = a .f'

(f/g)' = ((f'.g-g'.f)/g²)

der( ln(x) ) = 1/x

der( ln|x| ) = 1/x

der( e^x) = e^x

der( log(x) ) = 1/(x.ln(10))

der( log_a(x) ) = 1/(x.ln(a))

common limits

lim_x->cf(x) = ∞

lim_x->cg(x) = L

lim_x->c[f(x) +- g(x)] = ∞

lim_x->c[f(x) . g(x)] = ∞, L>0

lim_x->c[f(x) . g(x)] = - ∞, L<0

lim_x->∞(1 + k/x)^x = e^k

lim_x->∞[axⁿ] = ∞, 0

lim_x->0(1 +x)^1/x = e

Trigonometria

basic identities

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)

sec(x) = 1/cos(x)

csc(x) = 1/sin(x)

pythagorean identities

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x)cos(x)

cos(2x) = 1 - 2.sin²(x)

tan(2x) = 2tan(x) / 1-tan²(x)

sin(x) | -1<= y <= 1 | arcsin(x) | - (π/2) <= y <= π/2
