15) "Force, velocity and mechanical power relationship of human muscle with special reference to sex difference" by Dr. Masahiro Kaneko, March 1972.
16) Wilkie’s report titled ‘Thermodynamic errors in the ‘Glossary of Terms for Thermal Physiology’, by Dr John Bligh, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, 35, 941-961, and associated correspondence.
17) Barbara E. C. Banks and Wilkie’s identification of an error in a letter on “SI Units and Nutrition” published in The Lancet, 5 April 1975.
18) A request for Wilkie to shed light on a discrepancy in specific sections of Blaxter’s report discussing heat and production of ATP; energy conservation in energy transduction; basal metabolism and physical activity; the increment heat associated with the ingestion of food; fat and protein synthesis; and measurement in energy metabolism studies.
19) Letter from Arthur B. DuBois on metabolism, inluding photocopies of published material.
Also included is Wilkie's review of a research grant application, and letters with detailed comments pertaining to unnamed papers which are missing contextual attachments. |
