Kinesin-1 is an ATP-driven molecular motor that transports various cargoes in cells, a process that can be regulated by the kinesin tail domain. Here, kinesin ATPase activity and motility were inhibited in vitro by interacting the kinesin heavy chain C-terminal tail domain with the kinesin N-terminal motor domain. Though the tail domain can directly interact with microtubules, we found 70% of t...

the main purpose of this study was to examine the effect of metamotivational states on self-efficacy perceptions and motor performance in dart throwing beginners in easy and difficult conditions. for this purpose, the paratelic dominance questionnaire (cook & gerkovich, 1993) was distributed among 140 male students, and 32 participants were randomly divided into two groups (16 in a telic group ...

Abstract In response to the demand for automated item handling, this paper proposes an omnidirectional wheeled handling robot. Firstly, determine that its mobile platform is based on design of Mecanum wheel, which can move safely and efficiently. Secondly, according common object shapes, a single-side opening closing insertion rack clamping mechanism proposed. Thirdly, in order meet needs trans...

A growing cognitive model of motor balance skill (CMMBS), which simulates the manners of human beings and animals in motor balance skill learning, is presented. CMMBS, whose architecture is similar to the reflex arc of the biologic nerve, adopts a growing algorithm from reference to Growing Cell Structures in order to perform the pattern classification in the nerve center. This growing mechanis...

In this paper, the experimental vibration analysis of a single cylinder air compressor based on a hypocycloid straight line mechanism (HSM) is investigated. The HSM mechanism uses planetary gears to convert rotational motion to purely linear motion. In the conventional air compressor, the slider- crank mechanism is replaced by the HSM mechanism with appropriate counterweights. The constructed s...

The ability to keep track of where we are going as we navigate through our environment requires knowledge of our ongoing location and orientation. In response to passively applied motion, the otolith organs of the vestibular system encode changes in the velocity and direction of linear self-motion (i.e., heading). When self-motion is voluntarily generated, proprioceptive and motor efference cop...
