Handedness and footedness in Korean college students

This study was conducted to obtain normative data on foot preference and to compare footedness and handedness in a large sample (N = 866) of college students in Korea, where left-hand use for writing and other public acts is severely restricted (Kang & Harris, 1993). Based on scores from Korean-language versions of the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI; Oldfield, 1971) and the Waterloo Footedness Questionnaire Revised (WFQ-R; Elias, Bryden, & Bulman-Fleming, 1988), 11% of the subjects were left-footed but only 4.2% as left-handed. A significantly higher percentage of left-handers than right-handers showed crossed lateral preference, that is, for preference of the opposite-side foot. Of the left-handers with crossed preference, the majority were inconsistent left-handers (ILH; Peters & Servos, 1989), whereas most of those with uncrossed preference were consistent left-handers (CLH). Factor analysis of the EHI and WFQ-R revealed 2 handedness factors and 2 footedness factors. The footedness factors for skilled unipedal actions and for balancing-stabilizing varied in direction, strength, and relation to handedness in mixed-footers and left-handers, consistent with the possibility that the division of footedness into these categories might be neuropsychologically meaningful.

干细胞移植治疗冠心病的现状与未来

冠心病仍然是全球的主要死亡原因.其所造成的心肌梗死及慢性心力衰竭对生活质量的影响和由此造成的高额医疗费用促使我们不断寻求新的医疗措施.近几年有关干细胞用于心肌梗死后心肌再生、心肌内新生血管形成,可能还会改善梗死后的心功能的研究成为心脏病学研究的最热门领域.尽管干细胞治疗有可能使心力衰竭的治疗得到彻底的革命,但仍有部分问题需要澄清.已发表的各个研究结果设计不尽相同,致使对该项治疗的效果较难得出一致的结论.但这些研究都强调干细胞治疗在未来心血管疾病的治疗中可能会发挥较大的作用.干细胞治疗与药学、外科及介入治疗的结合会显著改善冠心病患者的预后.     

Enhancement of bistable perception associated with visual stimulus rivalry

Rapid, repetitive exchange of dissimilar, rival stimuli between the two eyes can produce slow alternations in perceptual dominance. This phenomenon, called stimulus rivalry, is potentially important for studying resolution of visual conflict associated with neural processing beyond the level of interocular competition. As previously implemented, however, stimulus rivalry can be difficult for some observers to experience, and it tends to occur within a relatively narrow range of contrasts and spatial frequencies. Here we show that it is possible to increase the incidence of stimulus rivalry by brief, periodic presentation of a composite configuration created by superimposition of the two rival stimuli. Possible reasons for the effectiveness of the composite in promotion of stimulus rivalry are discussed.     

定位核心文化打造无双品牌——再论五台山需要包装

文化是旅游的灵魂,这一观点已成为人们的共识。旅游资源向旅游产品的转化,或对现有旅游产品的再度整合,实质是规划建设者对旅游资源(待整合的旅游产品也是一定意义上的旅游资源)的文化内涵或现有文化状态,进行挖掘、提炼或深化、创新的过程。它不但塑造或改变着景区(点)的外貌,更决定着景区(点)的品位、档次和持续发展的潜力。不但旅游客体要体现文化,作为旅游主体的游人追求的也是文化,所谓的求新求异,其实就是求新文化、求异文化、求精品文化。那些粗制滥造的景点和修一道栅栏围起一条山沟式的简易景点,是少人甚至无人问津的。同样,如果满…     

早期音乐暴露增强大鼠分辨声音时程的作业能力

用声一电防御性条件反射的方法。对42只具有不同早期听觉经验的大鼠的声音时程分辨行为进行了观察和比较研究。实验结果表明：大鼠具有一定的分辨声音时程的作业能力,出生后早期的音乐暴露,能够明显增强大鼠分辨声音时程的作业能力。
