Engineering Parallel Transmit/Receive Radio-Frequency Coil Arrays for Human Brain MRI at 7 Tesla

Magnetic resonance imaging is widely used in medical diagnosis to obtain anatomical details of the human body in a non-invasive way. Clinical MR scanners typically operate at a static magnetic field strength (B0) of 1.5T or 3T. However, going to higher fie ...

Mechanoresponsive Micro- and Nanoparticles

Harm-Anton Klok, Friederike Katharina Metze

Mechanical stimuli are ubiquitous in the human body. In contrast to biochemical stimuli such as pH, redox, hypoxia or enzymes as well as exogenous stimuli such as magnetic fields, temperature or ultrasound, endogenous biomechanical stimuli have only receiv ...

Learning Trajectory Dependencies for Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann, Hongwei Li, Wei Mao

Human motion prediction, i.e., forecasting future body poses given observed pose sequence, has typically been tackled with recurrent neural networks (RNNs). However, as evidenced by prior work, the resulted RNN models suffer from prediction errors accumula ...

A methodology for characterizing the electrochemical stability of DLC coated interlayers and interfaces

Stefano Mischler, Patrik Schmutz, Roland Hauert, Emilija Ilic

DLC coatings are often deposited on Si and Cr based adhesion-promoting interlayers to mitigate stress at the DLC/substrate interface. Interlayers reduce the likelihood of mechanical coating delamination. However, their chemical stability at miniature DLC c ...

N-acetylaspartate availability is essential for juvenile survival on fat-free diet and determines metabolic health

Johan Auwerx, Dina Hofer

N-acetylaspartate (NAA) is synthesized by aspartate N-acetyltransferase (gene: Nat8l) from acetyl-coenzyme A and aspartate. In the brain, NAA is considered an important energy metabolite for lipid synthesis. However, the role of NAA in peripheral tissues r ...

Model-free soft-structure reconstruction for proprioception using tactile arrays

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

Continuum body structures provide unique opportunities for soft robotics, with the infinite degrees of freedom enabling unconstrained and highly adaptive exploration and manipulation. However, the infinite degrees of freedom of continuum bodies makes sensi ...

Biomechanical effects of passive hip springs during walking

Passive spring-like structures can store and return energy during cyclic movements and thereby reduce the energetic cost of locomotion. That makes them important components of the human body and wearable assistive devices alike. This study investigates how ...

Low-dimensional dynamics of two coupled biological oscillators

Felix Naef, Eric Paquet, Colas Noé Droin

The circadian clock and the cell cycle are two biological oscillatory processes that coexist within individual cells. These two oscillators were found to interact, which can lead to their synchronization. Here, we develop a method to identify a low-dimensi ...
