Center of mass (COM) trajectory plays a crucial role in the analysis of human body movements. This research aimed at studying vertical and transverse COM displacements during gait on a treadmill at a given velocity and step frequency. Locomotion study was accomplished using: Vicon 250, Cardionics Treadmill 3113 and metronome Korg Ma-30. The data achieved for 12 women and 15 men aged 21-22 revealed similarity in vertical COM oscillations in both groups. Lateral COM displacements (L(COM)) were slightly higher in men than in women and they showed tendency to decrease as gait velocity increased. During natural locomotion there was an increasing trend as walking speed increased. At a given velocity of locomotion L(COM) were decreasing as step frequency increased. The only astonishing thing was that the biggest changes of vertical COM oscillations (V(COM)) were noticed at the fastest walking speed (6 km/h). It seems that so large decrease in V(COM) during walking with high velocity and increased step cadency is a consequence of considerable shortening of the movement cycles and performing time of one step.

Context: This study meticulously examines the criteria for assigning electron rearrangements along the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) leading to bond formation and breaking processes during the pyrolytic isomerization of cubane (CUB) to 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene (COT) from both thermochemical and bonding perspectives. Notably, no cusp-type function was detected in the initial thermal conversion step of CUB to bicyclo[4.2.

During neuronal synaptic transmission, the exocytotic release of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic neuron evokes a change in conductance for one or more types of ligand-gated ion channels in the postsynaptic neuron. The standard method of investigation uses electrophysiological recordings of the postsynaptic response. However, electrophysiological recordings can directly quantify the presynaptic release of neurotransmitters with high temporal resolution by measuring the membrane capacitance before and after exocytosis, as fusion of the membrane of presynaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane increases the total capacitance.

Background: Prescribed fires play a critical role in reducing the intensity and severity of future wildfires by systematically and widely consuming accumulated vegetation fuel. While the current probability of prescribed fire escape in the United States stands very low, their consequential impact, particularly the large wildfires they cause, raises substantial concerns. The most direct way of understanding this trade-off between wildfire risk reduction and prescribed fire escapes is to explore patterns in the historical prescribed fire records.

Objective: Nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) is a progressive disease that can lead to blindness. Current therapies for NPDR are invasive and not extensively used or accessible until the disease progresses, pointing to the need for an early noninvasive treatment. The objective of CANBERRA was to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of oral administration of vicasinabin (RG7774) on the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in participants with moderately severe to severe NPDR and good vision.
