Matrix Analyses of Interaction among Fingers
نویسندگان
چکیده
When a person produces a force with a fingertip, other fingers of the hand also show an increase in their force. This phenomenon has been termed enslaving (Li et al. 1998a; Zatsiorsky et al. 2000). When several fingers are activated simultaneously, the relations among fingers can be described with an inter-finger matrix (IMF). We suggest using the IMFs to quantify individual differences among humans. An IFM for a hand contains 16 numbers. Hence, in general, individual differences in finger interaction, as reflected in IFMs, may require 16 variables to be fully described. We hypothesize, however, that a significantly smaller number of variables may be sufficient to describe differences among individuals without special skills. Hence, a major goal of this study has been to discover such variables and relate them to indices of finger interaction introduced in earlier studies.

متن کاملInteraction between the transcription factor SPBP and the positive cofactor RNF4. An interplay between protein binding zinc fingers.
The activator of stromelysin 1 gene transcription, SPBP, interacts with the RING finger protein RNF4. Both proteins are ubiquitously expressed and localized in the nucleus. RNF4 facilitates accumulation of specific SPBP-DNA complexes in vitro and acts as a positive cofactor in SPBP-mediated transactivation. SPBP harbors an internal zinc finger of the PHD/LAP type. This domain can form intra-cha...
