낙동강 상류에 위치한 안동, 임하 댐 하류 하천에서 두 댐에 의한 충적하천의 변화와 식생이입 현상을 정성적, 정량적으로 조사, 분석하였다. 하천형태 및 하상재료 분석 결과, 댐 하류는 전반적으로 저하되었고 일부 구간은 최대 3m 이상 세굴 되었다. 하상재료도 전반적으로 임하댐 건설 전 평균 1.5mm에서 건설 후 2.5mm로 조립화되었다. 댐 건설로 인한 하상소류력의 감소는 사주에 식생 활착을 촉진시켰으며, 그 결과 사주의 식생이입률은 1971년 자연 상태에서 8% 수준에서 안동댐 건설 후 1988년에 25%로 증가하였다. 임하댐이 완공된 1992년 이후 사주 상 식생이입은 가속화되어 겨우 3년이 지난 1995년에 사주 식생이입률은 43%가 되고, 그 후 10년이 지난 2005년에는 74%까지 증가하였다. 세부조사구간 중 하나인 윗절에서 항공사진에 의한 식생천이 현상을 분석한 결과 모래와 자갈이 노출된 '맨' 사주에서 시작하여 큰개여뀌, 달뿌리풀, 버드나무류 유식물 등 개척 단계를 지나, 일부 달뿌리풀은 유지되고 버드나무 관목이 등장하고 나중에는 선버들이나 왕버들 같은 교목림으로 정착되는 것으로 나타났다. 하회마을 앞과 강 건너 점 사주의 경우 타 논문에서 기제시된 여건 등으로 2005년 항공사진에서 식생이입은 억제되는 것으로 보였지만, 2009년에 촬영한 사진에 상당 부분 확대되는 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 대책이 필요하다. 사주 상 식생이입의 가속화는 구담습지 등 자연 상태의 모래하천에서 찾아보기 어려운 독특한 배후습지를 창출하여 환경적으로 종의 다양성이 커져서 서식처로서 가치 자체는 높아질 수 있다. 마지막으로, 댐에 의한 홍수량 감소와 그에 따른 하상소류력 감소가 사주 상 식생이입 및 활착을 가속화시켰다는 가설은 대표 단면에서 무차원 하상전단응력의 검토 결과 확인되었다.

Insulin stimulates glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue and thus maintains normal blood glucose level in our body. Derangement of this process causes many grave health problems. Insulin stimulates glucose transport primarily by recruiting GLUT4 from its intracellular storage sites to the plasma membrane. The process is complex and involves GLUT4 trafficking through multiple subcellular compartments (organelles) and many protein functions, details of which are poorly understood. This review summarizes a recent development to isolate and characterize the individual intracellular GLUT4 compartments and to illustrate how this compartmental analysis will help to identify the insulin-sensitive step or steps in the insulin-induced GLUT4 recruitment in rat adipocytes. The review does not cover the recent exciting development in identification of many proteins implicated in this process.

How do party organizations respond to newly evolving social groups? Research on Indian party organizations reveals that in multiethnic societies with uneven modernization between social groups, internally competitive parties respond better to newly evolving groups. Moreover, it is claimed: the same dynamic works vis-$\grave{a}$-vis homogenous societies with cleavages based on economic differences; and, the pattern holds regardless of differences in electoral institutions. This study examines these claims by testing whether factional competition correlated with recruitment into Japan's Liberal Democratic Party in 1972 and 1983. Japan had a single-nontransferable-vote system with multi-member districts, while the research on India assumes a first-past-the-post system with single-member districts. This study conducts a difference of means test on the population of new and old politicians in the LDP in 1972 and 1983 with a pooled variance adjustment to account for differences in populations' size. The findings show that intra-party competition and recruitment are not correlated in Japan, thus tentatively rejecting both claims.

DNA damage by UV and environmental agents are the major cause of genomic instability that needs to be repaired, otherwise it give rise to cancer. Accordingly, mammalian cells operate several DNA repair pathways that are not only responsible for identifying various types of DNA damage but also involved in removing DNA damage. In mammals, nucleotide excision repair (NER) machinery is responsible for most, if not all, of the bulky adducts caused by UV and chemical agents. Although most of the proteins involved in NER pathway have been identified, only recently have we begun to gain some insight into the mechanism by which proteins recognize damaged DNA. Binding of Xeroderma pigmentosum group C protein (XPC)-hHR23B complex to damaged DNA is the initial damage recognition step in NER, which leads to the recruitment of XPA and RPA to form a damage recognition complex. Formation of damage recognition complex not only stabilizes low affinity binding of XPA to the damaged DNA, but also induces structural distortion, both of which are likely necessary for the recruitment of TFIIH and two structure-specific endonucleases for dual incision.

This study investigated the recruitment patterns of ten trunk muscles in isometric exertion tasks, focused on the functional roles (agonist or antagonist). Twelve male students performed maximum voluntary isometric exertion tasks towards six directions: flexion/extension, left/right lateral bending, and clockwise/counter-clockwise twisting. EMG signals from ten trunk muscles and exertion forces were collected. Normalized EMG (NEMG) values were calculated at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 %MVC. The subjects showed a limited capacity in producing twisting moments, approximately 50% of the extension moment, and 70% of lateral bending moments. EMG activity was dependent on the direction and magnitude of the exertion, and also on the functional role. The mean NEMG of agonist was 0.260 and 0.067 for antagonist. Agonists showed the highest mean NEMG in flexion (0.367), while antagonists showed the highest mean NEMG in twisting clockwise/counter-clockwise (0.090/0.106).

The concept of segmental stabilization has been one of the most exciting advancements in the field of physical therapy. Specific deep stabilizing muscle have proven to reverse motor control deficits that occurs after back injury. After an injury, a new motor programming strategy is adopted and there is excessive recruitment of the large , strong , global muscular system works instead of small segmental deep muscle recruitment for stability. Many physical therapists and doctors mistakenly prescribe therapeutic exercise for low back pain to use larger, superficial musculature to strengthen the spine for stability and pain control. But motor control coordination of local segmental muscle is actually the key to stability and pain control, not strengthening of global muscle. A recent focus in physiotherapy management of patients with chronic back pain has been the specific training of muscles surrounding the lumbar spine whose primary role is considered to be the provision of dynamic stability and segmental control to the spine. These are the deep transverse abdominis muscle and lumbar multifudus.

There are four flexor muscles at elbow-biceps brachii, brachialis, brachioradialis, pronator teres. Muscle exertion force depends on the following conditions : elbow angle, external workload, and endurance time. The objectives of this study are to investigate the variations of the recruitment patterns of four muscles, and to analyze the changes of the role assigned to each muscle during elbow flexion. For three elbow angles, the transition point of type F motor unit of each muscle is inferred and the changes of the role assigned due to exertion level are identified by electromyographic analysis. The results showed that the recruitment pattern of biceps brachii is constant but those of other muscles are varied depending on elbow angle and exertion level. An EMG multiplexor is developed and simultaneous measurement of electromyographic signals of four elbow flexors is possible.

Background: In the brain, the dominant primary motor cortex (M1) has a greater hand representation area, shows more profuse horizontal connections, and shows a greater reduction in intracortical inhibition after hand exercise than does the non-dominant M1, suggesting a hemispheric asymmetry in M1 plasticity. Methods: We performed a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) study to investigate the hemispheric asymmetry of paired associative stimulation (PAS)-induced M1 plasticity in 9 right-handed volunteers. Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were measured in the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscles of both hands, and MEP recruitment curves were measured at different stimulation intensities, before and after PAS. Results: MEP recruitment curves were significantly enhanced in the dominant, but not the non-dominant M1. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that the dominant M1 has greater PAS-induced plasticity than does the non-dominant M1. This provides neurophysiological evidence for the asymmetrical performance of motor tasks related to handedness.

Reproductive patterns of an epifaunal amphipod, Pontogeneia rostrata, were studied on Dolsando sandy shore in Korea. The life history pattern was iteroparous, with recruitment mainly occurring from winter to spring. The sex ratio was malebiased, especially during breeding periods. The mean body length of females was significantly larger than that of males. Brood size and egg volume were positively related to the body length of ovigerous females. There was no significant difference in brood size between successive breeding periods, but egg volumes were significantly higher in early winter (December) than in late spring breeding (May and June), increasing the probability of survival to hatching. These traits contribute to more reproductive potential in early winter than in late spring breeding. The mean brood size of epifaunal P. rostrata was larger but the mean egg volume smaller than that of infaunal amphipods in this sampling area. We suggest that reproductive effort for epifaunal species may be proportionally greater than for infaunal species in risky environments.
