Run stop shock, run shock run: Spontaneous and stimulated gait-switching in a unicellular octoflagellate
نویسندگان
چکیده
In unicellular flagellates, growing evidence suggests control over a complex repertoire of swimming gaits is conferred intracellularly by ultrastructural components, resulting in motion that depends on flagella number and configuration. We report the discovery of a novel, tripartite motility in an octoflagellate alga, comprising a forward gait (run), a fast knee-jerk response with dramatic reversals in beat waveform (shock), and, remarkably, long quiescent periods (stop) within which the flagella quiver. In a reaction graph representation, transition probabilities show that gait switching is only weakly reversible. Shocks occur spontaneously but are also triggered by direct mechanical contact. In this primitive alga, the capability for a millisecond stop-start switch from rest to full speed implicates an early evolution of excitable signal transduction to and from peripheral appendages.

Non-Linear Relationships Among Oil Price, Gold Price and Stock Market Returns in Iran: A Multivariate Regime-Switching Approach
In this paper, the effects of oil and gold prices on stock market index are investigated. We use a cointegrated vector autoregressive Markov-switching model to examine the nonlinear properties of these three variables during the period of January 2003 - December 2014. The Markov-switching vector-equilibrium-correction model with three regimes representing "deep recession", "mild recession" and ...
