Background Control of upper body motion deteriorates with ageing leading to impaired ability to preserve balance during gait, but little is known on the contribution of the upper body to preserve balance in response to unexpected perturbations during locomotor transitions, such as gait initiation. Aim To investigate differences between young and…[Read more]

Additionally, δ13 C was not correlated with gas exchange estimates of WUEi under short- and long-term water limitations but showed a significant negative relationship with WUEplant . The observed association between the δ13 C and WUEplant suggests an intrinsic link of δ13 C with WUEi in this C4 plant and can potentially be used as a screening to…[Read more]
