This short paper highlights how cooperative strategies could have prevailed in the arenas, which is generally what happened during the Games. Cooperation in the arena corresponded to a situation of the professionalization of gladiators, who been trained in gladiatorial schools. This case provides an analogy ...

Separate Elements within a Single IQ-like Motif in Adenylyl Cyclase Type 8 Impart Ca2+/Calmodulin Binding and Autoinhibition*

The ubiquitous Ca(2+)-sensing protein calmodulin (CaM) fulfills its numerous signaling functions through a wide range of modular binding and activation mechanisms. By activating adenylyl cyclases (ACs) 1 and 8, Ca(2+) acting via calmodulin impacts on the signaling of the other major cellular second messenger cAMP. In possessing two CaM-binding domains, a 1-5-8-14 motif at the N terminus and an ...

Combat Readiness Test: Design and Validation in the Iranian Military

Background and Aim: Physical fitness is a major contributor to combat readiness, and current military tests do not measure it appropriately. The purpose of this study was to design a combat readiness test that could reliably and consistently determine the level of physical fitness distinctly required prior to deployment into the battlefield. Methods: The subjects of this study were military per...

Combat Id – Combat Identification System

This paper will document the development of the Combat Identification (CombatID) System. The CombatID System was designed to create a platform agnostic payload that could be attached to any fielded Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) to assist the Soldier in contingency basing operations. This paper will describe the approach taken to develop the system and provide a detailed description of the syste...
