Phase Transitions02:31

Phase Transitions

23.2K
Whether solid, liquid, or gas, a substance's state depends on the order and arrangement of its particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). Particles in the solid pack closely together, generally in a pattern. The particles vibrate about their fixed positions but do not move or squeeze past their neighbors. In liquids, although the particles are closely spaced, they are randomly arranged. The position of the particles are not fixed—that is, they are free to move past their neighbors to...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends02:35

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

7.3K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Properties of Transition Metals02:58

Properties of Transition Metals

29.8K
Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are transition elements. The f-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the d orbital is partially occupied before the f orbitals.

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions01:58

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

8.7K
Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Contact Angle01:13

Contact Angle

19.5K
When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces.
The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive...

Phase Transitions: Vaporization and Condensation02:39

Phase Transitions: Vaporization and Condensation

21.3K
The physical form of a substance changes on changing its temperature. For example, raising the temperature of a liquid causes the liquid to vaporize (convert into vapor). The process is called vaporization—a surface phenomenon. Vaporization occurs when the thermal motion of the molecules overcome the intermolecular forces, and the molecules (at the surface) escape into the gaseous state. When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules...

Summary

Gait transitions in race walkers and non-race walkers are not triggered by a single factor. Instead, a combination of hip angle variability and perceived exertion determines these changes in locomotion.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Human locomotion
  • Sports science

Background:

  • Understanding gait transitions is crucial for optimizing athletic performance and preventing injuries.
  • Previous research has explored factors influencing gait changes, but a unified trigger remains elusive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of energy cost, specifically rate of perceived exertion and movement variability, in gait transitions.
  • To determine if a unique variable or a combination of factors triggers gait transitions in race walkers and non-race walkers.

Main Methods:

  • Eight race walkers (RW) and seven non-race walkers (NRW) participated in a preferred transition speed (PTS) test.
  • Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analyze the relationship between variables like hip angle variability and rate of perceived exertion during gait transitions.

Main Results:

  • Race walkers exhibited a significantly higher preferred transition speed (10.35 km/hr) compared to non-race walkers (7.07 km/hr).
  • No single variable consistently increased before transition and then decreased, challenging the hypothesis of a unique transition trigger.
  • Principal component analysis revealed that combined hip angle variability and rate of perceived exertion could determine gait transitions.

Conclusions:

  • Human gait transitions are likely triggered by a pool of determinant variables, not a single factor.
  • The interplay of movement variability and perceived exertion plays a significant role in modulating gait transitions in both elite and non-elite individuals.
