Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

8.2K
The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
In contrast, regions which code...

Relative Risk01:12

Relative Risk

2.1K
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

13.4K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

303
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers01:48

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

59.5K
Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.
Slow-Twitch Muscle Fibers
Slow oxidative, muscle fibers appear red due to large numbers of capillaries and high levels of...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Marathon runners who take risks with their initial pace (risk taking in pace) are more likely to slow down later in the race. This psychological factor significantly impacts marathon pacing strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Psychology
  • Exercise Science
  • Endurance Event Physiology

Background:

  • Pacing in endurance events is influenced by physiological, energetic, environmental, and psychological factors.
  • The role of individual psychological variation in pacing has been under-explored despite recent indications of its importance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the predictive power of five psychological constructs on marathon slowing.
  • To determine if psychological variation influences pacing decisions in marathon runners.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey was administered to over 1,300 marathon runners.
  • Psychological constructs assessed included competitiveness, goal achievement, risk taking in pace (RTP), domain-specific risk taking, and willingness to suffer.
  • Statistical analyses were performed to identify predictors of marathon slowing.

Main Results:

  • Risk taking in pace (RTP) emerged as a robust predictor of marathon slowing.
  • RTP remained a significant predictor even when controlling for other psychological factors, training, and experience.
  • Individual differences in psychological constructs, particularly RTP, influence pacing decisions.

Conclusions:

  • Marathon runners consciously consider trade-offs when making pacing decisions.
  • Risk taking in pace is a key psychological determinant of pacing performance and marathon slowing.
  • Understanding psychological variation is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of endurance event pacing.
