    Link to publisher's homepage at http://www.mohejournal.com/index.php/moheIn recent years, the attacking tactics of top-level teams have been dominated by a combination of four attackers. The basic approach to defending against this move is to block in the direction of the toss (Read Block System). This study compares and examines the difference between the left and right sides of the crossover step of women's volleyball players using the read block system. Fifteen Japanese college women's volleyball players (age: 20.1±1.1 years, height: 169.3±5.5 cm) were eligible for the study. A time-synchronized 16 camera Mac3D optical motion capture systems (Motion Analysis Co.) and 10 force plates (Tec Gihan Co.) were used to determine three dimensional (3-D) coordinates of 38 retroreflective markers. The players were told that the toss from the setter would go up randomly in one of the left or right direction, and they were asked to block in response to the toss from the centre of the net. The results showed that the performance of the jump height (p = 0.04, d =0.50), maximum block reach (p = 0.01, d =0.51), and motion time (p =0.02, d =0.75) was better than the left, and the effect size was large. Since most of the subjects in this study were right-handed (two of the Opposites were left-handed), it is assumed that they tended to perform better on the left side, which is a block stepping similar to spike stepping. However, some players may not use the spiking hand, so individualized instruction is required

Accurate estimation of thermodynamic variables for processes involving biological macromolecules is an important goal in theoretical chemistry. For macromolecules and soft matter in general, understanding of the driving forces that comprise a given free energy or binding constant requires consideration of flexibility for all molecular degrees of freedom. The entropic contribution to free energy is thus an essential ingredient, whether explicitly quantified or included in a model in the form of a correct enumeration of the multiplicity of conformations. This doctoral thesis offers two contributions to the problem of computing entropy: (a) A numerical method for estimating conformational entropy differences for macromolecules was developed. It uses techniques borrowed from information theory and applies them to statistical mechanics. The method is applicable to conformational transitions and protein- ligand binding. (b) A model to describe the enhancement of the binding affinity for a bivalent ligand tethered with a polymer spacer was expounded. The novelty of the model consists in the inclusion of spacer-receptor interactions. (a) Balanced and bias-free computation of conformational entropy differences for molecular trajectories The mutual information expansion (MIE) is applied to estimate conformational entropy differences of macromolecules applicable to molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulation data on oligopeptides, polymers, proteins and ligands. The MIE serves to reduce the high dimensionality of the probability density of the conformational space of a macromolecule. The individual terms of the MIE are evaluated with a histogram method. Internal bond-angle-torsion (BAT) coordinates are used to avoid spurious correlations present when using Cartesian coordinates, which would demand using higher order terms in the MIE. Practically all entropy estimation methods from finite samples suffer from an inherent systematic error or bias. Two approaches are applied that compensate for systematic errors that occur with a histogram method: (1) Simulation data are balanced by using the same number of coordinate sets (frames) for both conformer domains. Balancing puts fluctuations of the histogram bin contents on the same level for both conformers, allowing for efficient error cancellation. (2) Bias- removal corrects for systematic deviations due to finite number of frames per bin. Applying both corrections improves the precision of entropy differences enormously. Estimates of entropy differences are compared to thermodynamic benchmarks of polymer and peptide models, where excellent agreement is found. For trialanine as model system, the average error for the estimated conformational entropy difference is only 0.3 J/(mol K), which is 100 times smaller than without applying the two corrections. Guidelines are provided for efficiently estimating conformational entropies. The complete method, including 1st to 3rd order MI expansion, balancing and bias-removal can be performed with the program ENTROPICAL. It can be obtained from the author and used with CHARMM and NAMD topologies and trajectories. (b) Influence of spacer-receptor interactions on the stability of bivalent ligand-receptor complexes Experiments show that a ligand-receptor complex formed by binding a bivalent ligand (D) in which the two ligating units are joined covalently by a flexible polymeric spacer (S) can be orders of magnitude more stable than the corresponding complex formed with monomeric ligands. Up until now, the molecular models that have been proposed to rationalize this "enhancement effect" neglect spacer-receptor (S-R) interactions. These interactions can nevertheless substantially influence the relative stability of complexes. Here, the results of a computational study designed to assess the impact of S-R interactions in the prototypic bivalent complex are presented and compared with results of experiments. The S-R interactions mimicking general features of biological systems are modeled by contoured R surfaces with hills (or depressions) at the binding sites. In the fictitious limit of vanishing S-R interactions, the enhancement is pronounced. This enhancement is in line with the experimental observations, although the S-R interactions, which surely occur in reality, were neglected. For strictly repulsive S-R interactions (hard R surface) the enhancement vanishes, or even reverses. This is particularly the case if the R surface is convex (i.e. rising between the binding sites), while the enhancement is only moderately reduced if the R surface is concave. Alternatively, a weak S-R attraction close to the R surface can increase the enhancement. It is concluded that large enhancement should be observed only if both features are present: a concave R surface plus a weak S-R attraction. The latter occurs for spacer material such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is weakly hydrophobic and thus attracted by protein surfaces. It is shown that the enhancement of bivalent binding can be characterized by a single key parameter, which may also provide guidelines for the design of multivalent complexes with large enhancement effect.Obwohl die Thermodynamik ursprünglich zur Optimierung industrieller Prozesse entwickelt wurde, hat sie sich durch ihre breiten Anwendungsmöglichkeiten in letzter Zeit auch einen Platz in der Biologie gesichert. Ein wichtiges Ziel in der theoretischen Chemie stellt die genaue Abschätzung thermodynamischer Variablen für Prozesse dar, an denen biologische Makromoleküle beteiligt sind. Das Verständnis der Triebkräfte, die eine gewisse freie Energie bei Makromolekülen und allgemein weicher Materie ausmachen, bedarf der Miteinbeziehung der Flexibilität aller molekularen Freiheitsgrade. Der entropische Beitrag zur freien Energie ist also ein unentbehrlicher Bestandteil, unabhängig davon, ob er explizit quantifiziert wird oder bei einem Modell in Form einer richtigen Aufzählung der Vielfachheit der Konformationen mit einbezogen wird. Die vorliegende Dissertation liefert zu dem Problem der Entropieberechnung zwei Beiträge: (1) Eine numerische Methode zur Berechnung von Entropiedifferenzen bei Makromolekülen wurde entwickelt. Sie entlehnt Techniken aus der Informationstheorie und wendet sie in der statistischen Mechanik an. Die Methode ist bei Konformationsänderungen und Protein-Ligandbindung verwendbar. (2) Zur Beschreibung der Verstärkung der Bindungsaffinität bei bivalenten Liganden, die mit einem Polymer-Spacer verknüpft sind, wurde ein geeignetes Modell entwickelt. Neu bei diesem Modell ist die Einbeziehung von Spacer-Rezeptor-Wechselwirkungen. (a) Ausbalancierte und von systematischen Fehlern bereinigte Berechnung konformationeller Entropiedifferenzen für molekulare Trajektorien Die Reihenentwicklung der wechselseitigen Information (mutual information expansion, MIE) wird benutzt, um Differenzen in konformationeller Entropie bei Makromolekülen zu berechnen. Die Methode ist auf Moleküldynamik- oder Monte-Carlo-Simulationsdaten von Polymeren, Proteinen und Liganden anwendbar. Die MIE dient der Dimensionsreduktion der Wahrscheinlichkeitsdichte des konformationellen Raums eines Makromoleküls. Die einzelnen Entwickungsterme der MIE werden mit Hilfe einer Histogrammmethode ausgewertet. Ein internes Koordinatensystem (Bindungslänge, Bindungswinkel und Torsionswinkel, das sogenannte BAT-System) wird benutzt, um die, bei kartesischen Koordinaten anwesenden, störenden Korrelationen zu vermeiden, die Entwickungsterme höherer Ordnung in der MIE benötigen würden. Praktisch alle Entropieschätzungsmethoden, die über eine endliche Menge von Daten verfügen, leiden an systematischen Fehlern (Bias). Zwei Korrekturmethoden werden eingesetzt, um diese systematischen Fehler von Histogrammmethoden auszugleichen: (1) Die Simulationsdaten werden ausbalanciert, indem die gleiche Anzahl von Koordinatensätzen (Einzelbildern) für beide Konformerdomänen benutzt wird. Durch dieses Ausbalancieren werden die Schwankungen der Belegungen einzelner Histogrammsäulen für beide Konformere im Mittel gleich groß. Dies führt zu einem effizienten Fehlerausgleich. (2) Die Bereinigung der systematischen Fehler (Bias) kompensiert Abweichungen, die auf Grund der endlichen Menge von Daten pro Histogrammsäule entstanden sind. Die gleichzeitige Verwendung beider Korrekturen verbessert die Genauigkeit der Abschätzung von Entropiedifferenzen erheblich. Die geschätzten Entropiedifferenzen werden mit thermodynamischen Bezugswerten für Polymer- und Peptidmodelle verglichen und stimmen mit diesen ausgezeichnet überein. Für das Modellsystem Trialanin betrug der durchschnittliche Fehler für die geschätzte konformationelle Entropiedifferenz nur 0.3 J (mol K), welcher 100-mal kleiner ist als bei Weglassen beider Korrekturmethoden. Leitlinien zur effizienten Berechnung konformationeller Entropie werden angegeben. Die komplette Methode, einschließlich MIE 1. bis 3. Grad, Ausbalancieren und Bereinigung von systematischen Fehlern, kann mit Hilfe des Programms ENTROPICAL ausgeführt werden. Das Programm arbeitet auf CHARMM- und NAMD-Topologien und -Trajektorien und wird vom Autor auf Anfrage zur Verfügung gestellt. (b) Einfluss von Spacer-Rezeptor-Wechselwirkungen auf die Stabilität von bivalenten Ligand-Rezeptor-Komplexen Experimente zeigen, dass ein durch einen bivalenten Liganden (D) gebildeter Ligand-Rezeptor- Komplex, in dem beide bindenden Einheiten mit Hilfe eines flexiblen Polymer- Spacers kovalent verknüpft werden, um Größenordnungen stabiler sein kann als der entsprechende, durch monomere Liganden gebildete Komplex. Bislang haben molekulare Modelle der bivalenten Bindung den Verstärkungseffekt erklärt, ohne die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Spacer und Rezeptor (S-R) zu berücksichtigen. Letztere können aber die relative Stabilität der Komplexe entscheidend beeinflussen. Wir haben Computersimulationen an geeigneten, prototypischen Modellsystemen für den bivalenten Komplexe durchgeführt, um die Auswirkungen der S-R-Wechselwirkungen auf die Bindungseffizienz zu untersuchen und mit experimentellen Ergebnissen verglichen. Die modellierten S-R-Wechselwirkungen bilden die allgemeinen Merkmale biologischer Systeme nach und werden als R-Oberfläche mit Bergen (bzw. Tälern) an den Bindungsstellen modelliert. Im fiktiven Grenzfall verschwindender S-R-Wechselwirkungen ist die Verstärkung der Bindungseffizienz groß. Dies deckt sich mit experimentellen Beobachtungen, obwohl die in der Realität sicher auftretenden S-R-Wechselwirkungen vernachlässigt wurden. Bei rein abstoßenden S-R-Wechselwirkungen (harter R-Oberfläche) verschwindet die Verstärkung oder kehrt sich gar um. Das ist insbesondere bei konvexer (also zwischen den Bindungsstellen gewölbter) R-Oberfläche der Fall, wobei die Verstärkung bei einer konkaven Oberfläche nur unwesentlich verringert ist. Alternativ kann eine schwache S-R-Anziehung nahe der R-Oberfläche die Verstärkung erhöhen. Es wird geschlussfolgert, dass nur in dem Fall, dass beide Merkmale anwesend sind, eine hohe Verstärkung zu erwarten ist: d. h. bei einer konkaven R-Oberfläche und einer schwachen S-R-Anziehung. Letzteres tritt bei Spacermaterialien wie Polyethylenglycol (PEG) auf, welches geringfügig hydrophob ist und aus diesem Grund von Proteinoberflächen angezogen wird. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Verstärkung bivalenter Bindung mit einem einzelnen Parameter gekennzeichnet werden kann, woraus sich Leitlinien für den Entwurf multivalenter Komplexe mit hoher Verstärkung gewinnen lassen

    Fundamental Study of the Fill-in Minimization Problem

    No full text
    In this paper the fill-in minimization problem which arises at the application of the sparse matrix method for a large sparse set of linear equations is discussed from the graph-theoretic viewpoint and also through the numerical experiments. Therefore, this investigation consists of two parts, and in the former part the author shows, at first, that the elimination process of a sparse matrix is equivalently replaced to the vertex eliminations for a graph obtained from the matrix, and by use of some concepts in the theory of graph he proves that the vertex elimination process for the minimum fill-in is equivalent to the vertex eliminations for vertices in each subgraph which is obtained by the appropriate dissection of whole graph, and that there are only two types of vertex eliminations through the process. This results in the proposal of a new model of the vertex elimination process. The latter part of this investigation is used for the verification of the results from the theoretic investigation. Through the numerical experiments he concludes that the new model of the vertex elimination process is valid, at least, for a graph like a regular finite element mesh. Furthermore, he shows that this model coincides with Nested Dissection Method which can give the minimum value of fill-in, at present

    Pieri's formula for generalized Schur polynomials

    No full text
    Young's lattice, the lattice of all Young diagrams, has the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence, the correspondence between certain matrices and pairs of semi-standard Young tableaux with the same shape. Fomin introduced generalized Schur operators to generalize the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence. In this sense, generalized Schur operators are generalizations of semi-standard Young tableaux. We define a generalization of Schur polynomials as expansion coefficients of generalized Schur operators. We show that the commutating relation of generalized Schur operators implies Pieri's formula to generalized Schur polynomials

    Tabloids and weighted sums of characters of certain modules of the symmetric groups

    No full text
    We consider certain modules of the symmetric groups whose basis elements are called tabloids. Some of these modules are isomorphic to subspaces of the cohomology rings of subvarieties of flag varieties as modules of the symmetric groups. We give a combinatorial description for some weighted sums of their characters, i.e., we introduce combinatorial objects called (½; l)-tableaux and rewrite weighted sums of characters as the numbers of these combinatorial objects. We also consider the meaning of these combinatorial objects, i.e., we construct a correspondence between (½; l)-tableaux and tabloids whose images are eigenvectors of the action of an element of cycle type ½ in quotient modules

    Clinical and Experimental Studies on the Chemotherapy in Lung Tuberculosis Part 4. Experimental, clinical, and statistical studies on the virulency of drug-resistant tubercle bacilli - the virulency of double-resistant tubercle bacilli-

    No full text
    In a series of animal and in vitro eyperiments on the virulency of double-resistant tubercle bacilli and in clinical and statistical observations concerning the virulency, the author obtained the following results. 1. In the virulency tests of tubercle bacilli by subcutaneous injection to guinea pigs the virulency of each doubleresistant tubercle bacilli of H(37)Rv strain for SM plus INH and PAS plus INH, the effect is represented by the virulency of INH-resistant bacilli, showing a marked diminution of the virulency. Moreover, the degree of such a decrease is in a proportion to the resistance against INH. 2. Likewise the virulency of SH plus INH-tow drug resistant bacilli isolated from patient, resembling closely to that of H(37)Rv-(SM+INH resistant) strain, is markedly diminished. Similar result is obtained by the bacilli isolated from those cultured in the medium containing SM. This suggests the existence of a high proportion of true-doubleresistant bacilli, and the virulency of this-true double-resistant bacilli seems to play a main role in the diminution of the virulency. 3. The catalase activity of the double-resistant bacilli, including the INH-resistant, is weakened or obliterated according to the degree of the resistance against INH, and consequently a close correlation can be recognized between the activity and the virulency. 4. Viewing the changes of symptoms in the so-called two-drug resistant cases clinically and statistically, their clinical progress is far better than that of SM-single resistant cases, and just as in the case of animal experiments this seems to be due to a high proportion of the true double-resistant bacilli being contained in the strain. In other words, it suggests that the virulency of the double-resistant bacilli is also somewhat diminished even in the human body. 5. Therefore, it is clinically quite important to know accurately the existence of the true-double-resistant bacilli that may be contained in the so-called two-drug resistant strain of patients, and the author advocates that the "crossculture test" devised by himself is well suited for such a purpose. 6, The author has been able to verify the existence of a high proportion of the true double-resistant bacilli in the so-called two-drug resistant strain of patients by his "crossculture test", and he calls attention to this method of approach. 7. As the results of treatment attempted systematically on the so-called two-drug resistant cases using various drugs, some satisfactory result can be expected in the treatment with different drugs to which no resistance has been shown, but the majority of cases with the concurrent use of the drug to which the resistance is already acquired fail to be effective. This fact clinically corroborates the inclusion of a high, percentage of the true double-resistant bacilli, and this agrees well with the result of previous animal experiments. The author points out that this point has a clinical significance worthy of attention

    Das Europäische als das Vertraute und das Fremde in der japanischen Kultur

    Nach einem Rückblick auf die Einflüsse von Konfuzianismus und Buddhismus im vormodernen Japan befaßt sich der Autor mit der im 19. Jahrhundert einsetzenden und bis heute andauernden intensiven Rezeption europäischer Kultur in Japan. Dabei entwickelt er die These, daß die fremdkulturellen Einflüsse aus Europa ebenso einem ausgeprägten Prozeß der Japanisierung unterzogen wurden wie dies mit den zuvor eingeführten Philosophien und Religionen geschehen war. An drei Beispielen - dem Verständnis von Zeit, der Bedeutung von Abstraktion, den Prinzipien Kokoro und \u27Geist\u27 - zeigt der Autor das hohe Maß an Differenz zwischen europäischer und japanischer Weltsicht. Die unter anderem im Rahmen pragmatischer Bildungsreformen vorgenommene mediatisierende Übernahme \u27des Europäischen\u27 mit dem Ziel einer wissenschaftlich-technischen Modernisierung Japans berührte kaum die kulturellen Tiefenstrukturen, so daß die europäische Kultur den Japanern bis heute weitgehend fremdartig erscheint. (DIPF/Orig.)Following a retrospective on the impact of Confucianism and Buddhism on premodern Japan, the author deals with the intensive reception of European culture in Japan, starting in the nineteenth Century and still persisting today. In this, the proposes the thesis that the foreign cultural influences from Europe did in fact undergo a just as pronounced process of Japanization as had done the philosophies and religions introduced previously. On the basis of three examples - the concept of time, the meaning of abstraction, the principals of kokoro and "mind" - the author demonstrates the high degree of difference between European and Japanese world views. This process of appropriation of "the European", undertaken for instance within the framework of pragmatic educational reforms aiming at a scientific-technical modernization of Japan, hardly touched the cultural deep structures so that the European culture has remained largely foreign to the Japanese even until today.
