Villin (VLN) is considered to be one of the most important actin-binding proteins, participates in modulating actin cytoskeleton dynamics, plays essential role plant development and resisting adverse environments. However, systematic studies VLN gene family have not been reported cotton (Gossypium). In this study, 14 GhVLNs were identified G. hirsutum. These GhVLN genes distributed 6 A-subgenom...

To decrease the influence of postural sway during spinal measurements, an instrumented fixation posture (called G) was proposed and tested in comparison with the free standing posture (A) using the DTP-3 system in a group of 70 healthy volunteers. The measurement was performed 5 times on each subject and each position was tested by a newly developed device for non-invasive spinal measurements c...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The sensory organization test (SOT) is the gold-standard test for the study of postural control with posturographic platforms. Three registers of Conditions 3, 4, 5 and 6 are conducted to find an arithmetic mean of the 3, with the time that this entails. The aim of this study was to determine whether a single record for each SOT condition would give us the same infor...

Postural control is not a fully automatic process, but requires a certain level of attention, particularly as the difficulty of the postural task increases. This study aimed at testing whether experienced contemporary dancers, because of their specialized training involving the control of posture/balance, would present with a dual-task performance suggesting lesser attentional demands associate...

This study investigated how 4-month-old infants represent sequences: Do they track the statistical relations among specific sequence elements (e.g., AB, BC) or do they encode abstract ordinal positions (i.e., B is second)? Infants were habituated to sequences of 4 moving and sounding elements-3 of the elements varied in their ordinal position while the position of 1 target element remained inva...

Previous work on a general class of multidimensional latent variable models for analysing ordinal manifest variables is extended here to allow for direct covariate effects on the manifest ordinal variables and covariate effects on the latent variables. A full maximum likelihood estimation method is used to estimate all the model parameters simultaneously. Goodness-of-fit statistics and standard...

The aim of this research was to analyse the kinematic parameters and to ascertain the influence of those parameters on the pole vault result. The entity sample of the research consisted of successful vaults of 30 athletes, whose attempts were recorded at the European Junior Athletics Championships. The examinees performed the vaults as part of the qualification competition for the finale and th...

J. Burge, M. A. Peterson, and S. E. Palmer (2005) reported that an ordinal cue to depth can influence the perception of metric depth in stereoscopic displays. They argued that when a familiar figure--a face--is placed stereoscopically closer than a background there is greater perceived depth relative to the ground than when the face shape is placed stereoscopically further and becomes the groun...
