the aim of the present study was to examine the hypothesis of the specificity of practice regarding training place (to determine whether learning a sport skill was specific to the training place). participants were 30 adolescent female students (mean age 11.50±1.50 years) who performed 10 sessions of learning perceptive-motor skill of kata in karate. after they finished kata sessions, retention...

psychotherapy has long been an essential component of clinical psychiatry and many young physicians choose to train in psychiatry residency programs in order to acquire necessary knowledge and skills, and become competent psychotherapists. recent advances in psychopharmacology and neuroscience, and growing dominance of managed care and evidence-based medicine have had dramatic impacts on health...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of cervical joint manipulation on joint position sense (JPS) of normal adults. [Subjects] Thirty normal adults were divided into a test group of 15 subjects and a control group of 15 subjects. [Methods] The test group was treated with cervical joint manipulation and massage, whereas the control group received only massage. Both gro...

The modification of the Electroweak Model with 3-dimensional spherical geometry in the matter fields space is suggested. The Lagrangian of this model is given by the sum of the free (without any potential term) matter fields Lagrangian and the standard gauge fields Lagrangian. The vector boson masses are generated by transformation of this Lagrangian from Cartesian coordinates to coordinates on...

The primal-dual algorithm of parametric linear programming (e.g. {l]) can be extended in some sence to parametric quadratic programming problems as follows. § 1. Problem of the first type Let us consider the following quadratic programming problem PIA with a parameter A. where C is an n X n positive semi-definite matrix, A is an m X n matrix, p and x are n-vectors, and band d are m-vectors. We ...

Let X be a real separable Banach space and X * be its dual space. Let B(X) be Borel σ-field of X. For finite dimensional subspace F of X * we define the cylinder set C based on F as follows C = {x ∈ X; It is easy to show that C(X, X *) is a fileld. Let C(X, X *) be the σ− field generated by C(X, X *). Then C(X, X *) = B(X). If µ is a probability measure on (X, B(X)) satisfying ∫ X ∥x∥ 2 dµ(x) <...

We have studied the attachment of mouse fibroblasts, trans formed nonmetastatic fibroblasts, and metastatic fibrosarcoma cells to various substrates. The metastatic cells attach prefer entially to type IV (basement membrane) collagen in the ab sence of serum, compared to type I collagen and plastic. In the presence of fibronectin, these cells attach well to both type I and type IV collagens. Th...

Hippocampal place cells are active when the rat is at certain locations. The sequence of these active place cells is known to be rapidly replayed during sharp-wave-ripple events in the EEG. In this issue of Neuron, a study by Gupta et al. challenges previous notions that the replayed trajectories are solely a passive echo of past episodes. Rather, replay might also be an active process construc...
