MUSCLE SYNERGY IN SEVERAL LOCOMOTOR MODES IN CHIMPANZEES AND JAPANESE MACAQUES, AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE EVOLUTIONARY ORIGIN OF BIPEDALISM THROUGH SHARED MUSCLE SYNERGIES

Muscle synergy in several locomotor modes in chimpanzees and Japanese macaques, and its implications for the evolutionary origin of bipedalism through shared muscle synergies

Abstract serra avatar price Recent evidence indicates that human ancestors utilized a combination of quadrupedal walking, climbing, and bipedal walking.Therefore, the origin of bipedalism may be linked to underlying mechanisms supporting diverse locomotor modes.This study aimed to elucidate foundations of varied locomotor modes from the perspective

Security Sector Reform, Local Ownership and Community Engagement

Local ownership is widely considered to be one of the core principles of successful Security Sector Reform (SSR) programmes.Nonetheless, there remains a gap between policy and practice.This article examines reasons for this gap, including concerns regarding limited capacity and lack of expertise, time and cost constraints, the allure of quantifiabl

Sexual behavior among high school students in Brazil: alcohol consumption and legal and illegal drug use associated with unprotected sex

OBJECTIVE: Alcohol and other drug use appears to reduce decision-making ability and increase the risk of unsafe sex, leading to possible unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases/human immunodeficiency virus/HIV transmission, and multiple sexual partners.This study aimed to test the hypothesis that risky sexual behaviors among adolescent

Convergence of YAP/TAZ, TEAD and TP63 activity is associated with bronchial premalignant severity and progression

Abstract Background Bronchial premalignant lesions (PMLs) are composed primarily of cells resembling basal epithelial cells of the airways, which through poorly understood mechanisms have the potential to progress to lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC).Despite ongoing efforts that have mapped gene expression and cell diversity across bronchial PML

Robust Schnorr-based subgroup multi-signature scheme

The consensus mechanism has been considered as the core technology of blockchain systems.However, current consensus mechanisms have encountered three issues: low consensus efficiency, low reliability and security, and high computational complexity.To address these issues, a new Schnorr-based subgroup multi-signature scheme was proposed.This scheme
