Stretchable electronics that can elongate elastically as well as flex are crucial to a wide range of emerging technologies, such as wearable medical devices, electronic skin, and soft robotics. Critic…
The human hand is considered as the highest example of dexterous system capable of interacting with different objects and adapting its manipulation abilities to them. The control of poliarticulated pr…
Foliation divides the mammalian cerebellum into structurally distinct subdivisions, including the concave sulcus and the convex apex. Purkinje cell (PC) dendritic morphology varies between subdivision…
OBJECTIVE: The registration of applied fiducial markers within the preoperative data is often left to the surgeon, who has to identify and tag the center of each marker. This is both time-consuming an…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the total systematic accuracy of a frameless, image guided stereotactic radiosurgery system.METHODS: The localization accuracy and intermodality difference was determined by deliv…
AIM: To examine in vitro whether Profile or Hero 642 nickel-titanium rotary instrument systems substantially reduce the minimum canal wall thickness present following root-canal preparation.METHODOLOG…
BACKGROUND : Elevation of hepatic enzymes is associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and obesity. However, the factors behind elevation of liver enzymes remain unclear. The aim of this study…
INTRODUCTION: There is little evidence supporting the use of cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) scanning in root canal anatomy investigation. This study aimed to investigate the presence of second …
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess a radiographic method for spinal curvature evaluation in children, based on spinous processes, and identify its normality limits.METHODS: The sample …
A 62 year old male with a right pyriform fossa lesion extending to the right arytenoid and obscuring the glottic inlet was planned for laser assisted excision. Direct laryngoscopic assessment after to…
Simple devices are described that can facilitate student experiments on mechanical and electrical aspects of muscle contraction, for example, of isolated preparations such as frog gastrocnemius and sa…
Neural mechanisms that integrate posture with movement are widespread throughout the central nervous system (CNS), and they are recruited in patterns that are both task- and context-dependent. Scienti…
How does communication originates in a population of originally non-communicating individuals? Providing an answer to this question from a neo-Darwinian epistemological perspective is not a trivial ta…
Historically, four perpendicular treatment fields or bilateral arcs have been used in the treatment of prostate cancer. As new techniques challenge the four-field box technique for their superiority o…
The immunoglobulin (Ig) G concentration in swine colostrum was determined by the single radial immunodiffusion method, using 157 samples collected from farm-raised sows in the Yamaguchi Prefecture of …
In this paper we report on results from experiments performed on a bi-modal piezoelectric transducer used both as an active ultrasound transceiver and a passive acoustic sensor. The transducer, which …
BACKGROUND: Although malaria is highly prevalent throughout Malawi, little is known of its transmission dynamics. This paper describes the seasonal activity of the different vectors, human biting indi…
In July 2014, the roboticist Ronald Arkin suggested that child sex robots could be used to treat those with paedophilic predilections in the same way that methadone is used to treat heroin addicts. Ta…
PURPOSE: To explore changes in the amide proton transfer (APT) signal intensity (SI) among different phases of the menstrual cycle in healthy young women and to determine whether the APT SI correlates…
Structures resembling remarkably preserved bacterial and cyanobacterial microfossils from about 3,465-million-year-old Apex cherts of the Warrawoona Group in Western Australia currently provide the ol…
