Electromyography of the buccal musculature of octopus (Octopus bimaculoides): a test of the function of the muscle articulation in support and movement
Creators: name: Uyeno, Theodore A.

Year: 2007

description: SUMMARY The buccal mass musculature of the octopus (Octopus bimaculoides) was studied with electromyography to test the predictions of a previous morphological study in which we suggested that the muscles of the buccal mass serve as both the effectors of movement and as the joint itself, forming a new category of flexible joint termed a `muscle articulation9. The predictions of muscle function were tested by correlating muscle electrical activity in isolated buccal masses with spontaneous beak movements. Bipolar electromyography electrodes were implanted in the various beak muscles and beak position was recorded simultaneously with an electronic movement monitor (N=14). The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the lateral mandibular muscles produce opening movements of the beaks and provide the first definitive explanation of the opening mechanism. The results are also consistent with the hypothesis that the superior mandibular muscle functions primarily in closing. Co-contraction of the lateral mandibular muscles and the superior mandibular muscles was also observed, suggesting that these muscles may also stabilize the beaks during movement or provide a means of controlling the location of the pivot between the beaks. This study provides an important first test of the predictions of the role of the complex musculature found in muscle articulations such as the cephalopod buccal mass.

description: This study examines the impact of monetary policy on economic performance in sub-Saharan Africa covering the period from 2005 to 2019. The study employs Blundell and Bond system GMM technique for the estimation. Three indicators - economic growth, foreign direct investment and gross domestic savings were used to proxy economic performance. The study reveals that monetary policy is an important factor in the determination of economic performance in the sub-Saharan African countries. The study concludes that sub-Saharan African countries could effectively use monetary policy to improve economic growth, attracts foreign investment and encourages domestic savings, which ultimately lead to well-being of the citizens.

description: The possibility that dark matter, whose existence is inferred from the study of the galactic rotation curves, and from the mass deficit in galaxy clusters, can be in a form of a Bose-Einstein Condensate, has been extensively investigated lately. In the present work, we consider a detailed analysis of the astrophysical properties of the Bose-Einstein Condensate dark matter halos that could provide clear observational signatures that help discriminate between different dark matter models. In the Bose-Einstein condensation model dark matter can be described as a non-relativistic, gravitationally confined Newtonian gas, whose density and pressure are related by a polytropic equation of state with index $n=1$. The mass and gravitational properties of the condensate halos are obtained in a systematic form, including the mean logarithmic slopes of the density and of the tangential velocity. The lensing properties of the condensate dark matter are investigated in detail. In particular, a general analytical formula for the surface density, an important quantity that defines the lensing properties of a dark matter halos, is obtained in the form of series expansions. This enables arbitrary-precision calculations of the surface mass density, deflection angle, deflection potential, and of the magnification factor, thus giving the possibility of the comparison of the predicted lensing properties of the condensate dark matter halos with observations. The stability properties of the condensate halos are also investigated by using the scalar and the tensor virial theorems, respectively, and the virial perturbation equation for condensate dark matter halos is derived.

description: SUMMARY The reconfigurable, flapping wings of birds allow for both inertial and aerodynamic modes of reorientation. We found evidence that both these modes play important roles in the low speed turning flight of the rose-breasted cockatoo Eolophus roseicapillus. Using three-dimensional kinematics recorded from six cockatoos making a 90° turn in a flight corridor, we developed predictions of inertial and aerodynamic reorientation from estimates of wing moments of inertia and flapping arcs, and a blade-element aerodynamic model. The blade-element model successfully predicted weight support (predicted was 88±17% of observed, N=6) and centripetal force (predicted was 79±29% of observed, N=6) for the maneuvering cockatoos and provided a reasonable estimate of mechanical power. The estimated torque from the model was a significant predictor of roll acceleration (r2=0.55, P<0.00001), but greatly overestimated roll magnitude when applied with no roll damping. Non-dimensional roll damping coefficients of approximately –1.5, 2–6 times greater than those typical of airplane flight dynamics (approximately –0.45), were required to bring our estimates of reorientation due to aerodynamic torque back into conjunction with the measured changes in orientation. Our estimates of inertial reorientation were statistically significant predictors of the measured reorientation within wingbeats (r2 from 0.2 to 0.37, P<0.0005). Components of both our inertial reorientation and aerodynamic torque estimates correlated, significantly, with asymmetries in the activation profile of four flight muscles: the pectoralis, supracoracoideus, biceps brachii and extensor metacarpi radialis (r2 from 0.27 to 0.45, P<0.005). Thus, avian flight maneuvers rely on production of asymmetries throughout the flight apparatus rather than in a specific set of control or turning muscles.

description: This volume contains a final and revised selection of papers presented at the Seventh Workshop on Intersection Types and Related Systems (ITRS 2014), held in Vienna (Austria) on July 18th, affiliated with TLCA 2014, Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications (held jointly with RTA, Rewriting Techniques and Applications) as part of FLoC and the Vienna Summer of Logic (VSL) 2014. Intersection types have been introduced in the late 1970s as a language for describing properties of lambda calculus which were not captured by all previous type systems. They provided the first characterisation of strongly normalising lambda terms and have become a powerful syntactic and semantic tool for analysing various normalisation properties as well as lambda models. Over the years the scope of research on intersection types has broadened. Recently, there have been a number of breakthroughs in the use of intersection types and similar technology for practical purposes such as program analysis, verification and concurrency, and program synthesis. The aim of the ITRS workshop series is to bring together researchers working on both the theory and practical applications of systems based on intersection types and related approaches (e.g., union types, refinement types, behavioral types).

description: Aspergillus section Candidi encompasses white- or yellow-sporulating species mostly isolated from indoor and cave environments, food, feed, clinical material, soil and dung. Their identification is non-trivial due to largely uniform morphology. This study aims to re-evaluate the species boundaries in the section Candidi and present an overview of all existing species along with information on their ecology. For the analyses, we assembled a set of 113 strains with diverse origin. For the molecular analyses, we used DNA sequences of three house-keeping genes (benA, CaM and RPB2) and employed species delimitation methods based on a multispecies coalescent model. Classical phylogenetic methods and genealogical concordance species recognition approaches were used for comparison. Phenotypic studies involved comparisons of macromorphology on four cultivation media, seven micromorphological characters and growth at temperatures ranging from 10 to 45 °C. Based on our results, all currently accepted species gained further support, while two new species are proposed (A. magnus and A. tenebricus). In addition, we proposed the new name A. neotritici to replace an invalidly described A. tritici. The revised section Candidi now comprises nine species, some of which manifest a high level of intraspecific genetic and/or phenotypic variability (e.g. A. subalbidus and A. campestris) while others are more uniform (e.g. A. candidus or A. pragensis). The growth rates on different media and at different temperatures, colony colours, production of soluble pigments, stipe dimensions and vesicle diameters contributed the most to species differentiation.

description: This study aimed to investigate the impact of sustainable tourism on residents' support. A survey was conducted to accomplish this purpose on scientifically selected samples of residents. The analysis was made from 366 questionnaires returned by residents of study areas. In the analysis of the collected data, we used the multiple regression analysis after getting the collected data through the data coding process. The result of the analysis showed that the three factors of positive social-cultural impact, positive economic impact, and negative social-cultural impact were significantly related to residents' support. The results suggest that it is important for policy makers and community leaders to consider social-cultural and economic impact when decision making on development planning.

description: The dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) combined with the fluctuation exchange (FLEX) method, namely FLEX+DMFT, is an approach for correlated electron systems to incorporate both local and non-local long-range correlations in a self-consistent manner. We formulate FLEX+DMFT in a systematic way starting from a Luttinger-Ward functional, and apply it to study the $d$-wave superconductivity in the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model. The critical temperature ($T_c$) curve obtained in the FLEX+DMFT exhibits a dome structure as a function of the filling, which has not been clearly observed in the FLEX approach alone. We trace back the origin of the dome to the local vertex correction from DMFT that renders a filling dependence in the FLEX self-energy. We compare the results with those of GW+DMFT, where the $T_c$-dome structure is qualitatively reproduced due to the same vertex correction effect, but a crucial difference from FLEX+DMFT is that $T_c$ is always estimated below the Néel temperature in GW+DMFT. The single-particle spectral function obtained with FLEX+DMFT exhibits a double-peak structure as a precursor of the Hubbard bands at temperature above $T_c$.

description: Molting in crustaceans involves significant changes in the structure and function of the exoskeleton as the old cuticle is shed and a new one is secreted. The flimsy new cuticle takes several days to harden and during this time crabs rely on a hydrostatic skeletal support system for support and movement. This change from a rigid to a hydrostatic skeletal support mechanism implies correlated changes in the function, and thus mechanical properties, of the cuticle. In particular, it must change from primarily resisting compression, bending and torsional forces to resisting tension. This study was designed to explore the changes in the mechanical properties of the crustacean cuticle as the animals switch between two distinct skeletal support mechanisms. Samples of cuticle were removed from blue crabs,

description: The aim of the FESCA workshop is to bring together junior researchers from formal methods, software engineering, and industry interested in the development and application of formal modelling approaches as well as associated analysis and reasoning techniques with practical benefits for software engineering. In recent years, the growing importance of functional correctness and the increased relevance of system quality properties (e.g. performance, reliability, security) have stimulated the emergence of analytical and modelling techniques for the design and development of software systems. With the increasing complexity of today's software systems, FESCA aims at addressing two research questions: (1) what role the software architecture can play in systematic addressing of the analytical and modelling challenges, and (2) how formal and semi-formal techniques can be applied effectively to make the issues easier to address automatically, with lower human intervention.

ABSTRACT
The proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) is a vital component of the global effort to mitigate climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The wide spread adoption of electric cars is contingent upon the development of an efficient and reliable charging infrastructure. However, ensuring the availability of electric cars at charging stations poses a considerable challenge. This proposal aims to address this issue by developing a predictive model that can estimate the availability of electric cars at charging stations. The model would take into account factors such as the distance covered by the car, its state of charge, and the regular number of trips made in previous days.
The heart of this proposal will be the application of machine learning techniques to build the predictive model. Various algorithms, including regression, decision trees, and neural networks, will be evaluated for their ability to predict electric car availability at charging stations accurately. The predictive model will be trained using historical data and fine-tuned to improve its accuracy. A rigorous testing phase will follow, where the model's performance will be evaluated against real-world scenarios and data from charging stations.

description: Hummingbirds are specialized for hovering flight, and substantial research has explored this behavior. Forward flight is also important to hummingbirds, but the manner in which they perform forward flight is not well documented. Previous research suggests that hummingbirds increase flight velocity by simultaneously tilting their body angle and stroke-plane angle of the wings, without varying wingbeat frequency and upstroke: downstroke span ratio. We hypothesized that other wing kinematics besides stroke-plane angle would vary in hummingbirds. To test this, we used synchronized high-speed (500 Hz) video cameras and measured the three-dimensional wing and body kinematics of rufous hummingbirds (

description: Although muscle specialization has been studied extensively in vertebrates, less is known about the mechanisms that have evolved in invertebrate muscle that modulate muscle performance. Recent research on the musculature of squid suggests that the mechanisms of muscle specialization in cephalopods may differ from those documented in vertebrates. Muscle diversity in the development and the evolution of cephalopods appears to be characterized by modulation of the dimensions of the myofilaments, in contrast to the relatively fixed myofilament dimensions of vertebrate muscle. In addition, the arrangement of the myofilaments may also be altered, as has been observed in the extensor muscle fibres of the prey capture tentacles of squid and cuttlefish, which show cross-striation and thus differ from the obliquely striated pattern of most cephalopod locomotor muscle fibres. Although biochemical specializations that reflect differences in aerobic capacity have been documented previously for specific layers of the mantle muscle of squid, comparison of protein profiles of myofilament preparations from the fast cross-striated tentacle fibres and slow obliquely striated fibres from the arms has revealed remarkably few differences in myofilament lattice proteins. In particular, previous studies using a variety of SDS-PAGE techniques and peptide mapping of the myosin heavy chain were unable to resolve differences in the myosin light and heavy chains. Since these techniques cannot exclude the presence of a highly conserved variant that differs in only a few amino acids, in this study semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of myosin heavy chain messenger RNAs (mRNAs) from the cross-striated tentacle and obliquely striated arm muscle fibres was conducted. This analysis showed that a previously reported alternatively spliced isoform of the squid myosin motor domain is present only in low abundance in both muscle types and therefore differential expression of the two myosins cannot explain the difference in contractile properties. It thus appears that modulation of the contractile properties of the musculature of squid and other cephalopods occurs primarily through variation in the arrangement and dimensions of the myofilaments.

description: Aims Interneurons in the deep dorsal horn of the spinal cord receive input mainly from non-nociceptive myelinated sensory fibers and are believed to be important for the processing of touch and proprioceptive input. There is also accumulating evidence that under certain pathogenic conditions such as neuropathy, deep dorsal horn excitatory interneurons gain access to pain processing circuits. However, detailed analysis of the effect these interneurons exert on pain signaling in naïve or neuropathic mice is lacking. Methods Here we use the gene coding for the transcription factor c-Maf as a genetic marker to gain access to spinal interneurons in laminae III-IV. We used intersectional genetic targeting approaches to manipulate the activity of c-Maf interneuron populations and analyze their circuit integration. Results We found that, in the adult, c-Maf is expressed by a heterogeneous population of dorsal horn interneurons. Activation of excitatory c-Maf neurons or inhibition of inhibitory c-Maf neurons led to mechanical hypersensitivity. Conversely, loss of function experiments indicated that excitatory c-Maf neurons are dispensable for pain perception in naïve mice but relevant for the detection of noxious touch in neuropathic mice. We also demonstrate that c-Maf interneurons receive direct synaptic input from both low-threshold mechanical receptors (LTMRs) and corticospinal neurons. Conclusions We have identified a population of deep dorsal horn interneurons that integrates descending inputs from the cortex with peripheral sensory signals to modulate the perception of sensory stimuli. Excitatory c-Maf neurons appear to be part of an altered circuit that detects noxious touch in neuropathic mice.

description: З початком російсько-української війни економіка України автоматично перейшла у воєнний стан з його специфічними особливостями і вимогами. Стрімко змінилися потреби та пріоритети кожної людини, значно скоротилися обсяги необхідних для бізнесу ресурсів. У зоні бойових дій війна внесла свої корективи у стан та можливості продовжувати підприємницьку діяльність. Адже частина бізнесових структур частково або цілковито втратили свої виробничі потужності; через вимушену міграцію людей на захід України і за кордон – підприємства втрачають кваліфікованих фахівців; кардинальних змін зазнає бізнес-логістика. Як наслідок цього, на поточний момент 49 % підприємств не працюють або майже зупинені. А за даними Європейської бізнес-асоціації в Україні у квітні 2022 року продовжували працювати приблизно 70 % компаній, причому більшість з них в обмеженому режимі. 27 % призупинили діяльність, але прагнули її відновити. Проте, у зоні бойових дій чи близьких до них територіально провадження діяльності є ризикованим і небезпечнм не лише для об’єктів підприємництва, а й загрозливим для життя працівників. Відтак, переважна більшість суб’єктів господарювання у прифронтових районах України призупинили або й припинили свою діяльність. Як відомо, бізнес, навіть у найскладніших умовах, має здатність самовідновлюватися. А отже, вихід із цієї скрутної ситуації знайшовся у релокації бізнес-структур на відносно безпечні території України, а то й за кордон. Головним завданням релокації бізнесу, що опинився у «гарячих точках», є збереження власних активів та потужностей, відновлення діяльності та збереження робочих місць. Одні підприємства переїжджають на безпечні території самостійно, інші ж – зокрема, середні та великі – потребують допомоги уряду в цьому. Одним із кроків, спрямованих на допомогу підприємствам, стала урядова програма релокації підприємств із зони збройного конфлікту у більш безпечні, переважно західні області України. Проте, слід зазначити, що більшість компаній, котрі евакуюються зі сходу на захід України, стикаються зі схожими проблемами: відсутністю житла для працівників чи підбором працівників у місцях дислокації після переїзду, дефіцитом відповідних майданчиків для виробництва, браком складських приміщень, високими цінами на оренду, відновленням логістики, закупівлею сировини, пошуком нових ринків збуту. У цьому сенсі важливим є питання узгодження державної програми релокації бізнесу з відповідними локальними програмами підтримки від місцевої влади.

description: We study the $SU(2)_k$ Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) theory perturbed by the trace of the primary field in the adjoint representation, a theory governing the low-energy behaviour of a class of strongly correlated electronic systems. While the model is non-integrable, its dynamics can be investigated using the numerical technique of the truncated conformal spectrum approach combined with numerical and analytical renormalization groups (TCSA+RG). The numerical results so obtained provide support for a semiclassical analysis valid at $k\gg 1$. Namely, we find that the low energy behavior is sensitive to the sign of the coupling constant, $λ$. Moreover for $λ>0$ this behavior depends on whether $k$ is even or odd. With $k$ even, we find definitive evidence that the model at low energies is equivalent to the massive $O(3)$ sigma model. For $k$ odd, the numerical evidence is more equivocal, but we find indications that the low energy effective theory is critical.

description: How animals guide themselves across vast expanses of open ocean, sometimes to specific geographic areas, has remained an enduring mystery of behavioral biology. In this review we briefly contrast underwater oceanic navigation with terrestrial navigation and summarize the advantages and constraints of different approaches used to analyze animal navigation in the sea. In addition, we highlight studies and techniques that have begun to unravel the sensory cues that underlie navigation in sea turtles, salmon and other ocean migrants. Environmental signals of importance include geomagnetic, chemical and hydrodynamic cues, perhaps supplemented in some cases by celestial cues or other sources of information that remain to be discovered. An interesting similarity between sea turtles and salmon is that both have been hypothesized to complete long-distance reproductive migrations using navigational systems composed of two different suites of mechanisms that function sequentially over different spatial scales. The basic organization of navigation in these two groups of animals may be functionally similar, and perhaps also representative of other long-distance ocean navigators.
