 Why is fiber (fibre) important in your diet?
Numerous epidemiologic (population-based) studies have found that diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in fiber are associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers, diabetes, digestive disorders, and heart disease.
Fiber also may help reduce the risk of diverticulosis, a condition in which small pouches form in the colon wall (usually from the pressure of straining during bowel movements).
In the Finnish study, each 10 grams of fiber added to the diet decreased the risk of dying from heart disease by 17 percent; in the U.S. study, risk was decreased by 29 percent.

Nuclear bag fibers are thicker in the mid region, and the nuclei are arranged centrally or are “bagged “or clustered together.
Afferent 1a or annulospiral fibers are sensitive to both the magnitude of stretch in a muscle (overall length), as well as the velocity of length change (the rate at which the fiber changes length).
When the afferent fiber is stimulated to emit an action potential, it carries the information to the spinal cord through the dorsal root, and then synapses directly onto an alpha motor neuron, which causes the muscle fibers it innervates to contract.

 The Muscle Spindle Stretch Reflex
Intrafusal muscle fibers are divided into nuclear bag fibers and nuclear chain fibers.
In the nuclear bag fibers, the nuclei tend to be located in a wide, pouch-like section near the center of the muscle fiber.
In nuclear chain muscle fibers, the nuclei are spaced fairly evenly along the length of the central nuclear compartment such that the fiber is relatively thin throughout its length.

Fiber density (FD), which reflects the number of muscle fibers innervated by the same motor neuron within the receptive volume of the SFEMG needle, was used to indicate the severity of original poliomyelitis.
Fiber type grouping and nuclear bags were taken as evidence of remote denervation, that is, severity of remote poliomyelitis.
As fiber type is determined by axonal influences, local reinnervating axonal sprouts after polio progressive atrophy, which years later presents in the muscle biopsy as a "nuclear bag" -- a fiber that has lost all its cytoplasm.

 S/MARt DB: A database on chromatin organizing S/MAR regions
Within the past 20 years (approximately) the model of the interphase nucleus underwent radical changes from a bag of chromatin immersed in homogeneous nucleoplasm to an anchored loop domain model in which chromatin is organized into large domains or loops fastened by a nonchromatin matrix [Gasser and Laemmli, 1986; Berezney, 1991].
The nuclear matrix is believed to correspond to the protein framework that resists extraction of nuclei with high-salt or lithium diiodosalicylate and DNA digestion [Mirkovitch et al., 1984].
S/MARs (scaffold or matrix attached regions) are elements of the DNA that attach the chromatin fiber to the proteinaceous network of the nucleus, the nuclear matrix or scaffold.

There are two kinds of storage for nuclear weapons — active storage, in which warheads are kept intact, and inactive storage, in which parts of a warhead, including the nuclear pits, are cannibalized to maintain deployed warheads.
The B61 nuclear warhead, the only one in the U.S. arsenal considered to be low-yield, is not well-suited for scoring precision hits that limit collateral damage, Murdock said.
Moratorium on testing nuclear weapons: The United States has not ruled out further nuclear testing, and is examining reducing the time needed to prepare for a test to three months to a year, down from as long as three years (see GSN, March 22).

The GTO is a large, fast conducting, group Ib fiber which synapses on inhibitory interneurons to inhibit the alpha motor neurons of the contracting muscle.
The primary stretch receptors of the muscle spindle are type Ia fibers whose dendritic endings are helically wrapped around the central portions of the two types of intrafusal fibers; the capsule (nuclear bag) fiber, and the chain (nuclear chain) fiber.
The capsule or bag fibers tend to be most responsive to muscle lengthening and the chain fibers to muscle shortening.

Every vehicle, every bag, and every body that passes through the ornate silver-domed portal into Uzbekistan from Kazakh- stan is quietly scanned for radioactive contraband by a state-of-the-art detector paid for by the United States.
There have been 181 cases of illicit trafficking of nuclear materials from 1993 until the end of last year, according to the UN International Atomic Energy Agency.
The problem for Uzbekistan is transport of nuclear materials from north to south, the opposite of the path for drugs traveling from Afghanistan along the so-called "northern route" through Central Asia to Europe.

There are two innervation of the muscle: Alpha motoneurons- innervate extrafusal muscle fibers, (spoken about last time), which generate the force that the muscle produces Gamma motoneurons- smaller motor axons located in the ventral horn generally in the vicinity of the alpha motoneuron that goes to the same muscle.
Although the muscle is sensitive to passive tension of the muscle fibers and increases in firing, the GTO is not sensitive to this passive tension (pull on the muscle).
The fibers are stretch sensitive and pause during extrafusal muscle contractions by decreasing their firings.
