Stretch-elicited intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) changes in individual smooth muscle cells in a ring of aorta were measured simultaneously with the force developed by the ring. A phasic increase in Ca(2+) was observed in 30% of the cells and a sus ...
In the recent years medical diagnosis and surgery planning often require the precise evaluation of joint movements. This has led to exploit reconstructed three-dimensional models of the joint tissues obtained from CT or MR Images (for bones, cartilages, et ...
Limb length discrepancy (LLD) is defined as a condition in which limbs are unequal. The asymmetric load of body segments secondary to LLD may cause a tonic contraction of back and lower limb muscles, thus resulting in subtle cutaneous temperature variation ...
Energy storage systems are becoming more important for load leveling, especially for widespread use of intermittent renewable energy. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising method for energy storage, but large scale CAES is dependent on suitab ...
This paper presents a novel reeducation device for paraplegics that combines hybrid orthoses and closed-loop electrical muscle stimulation. Based on the so called Cyberthosis concept, the WalkTrainer enables an active muscular participation of the subject ...
An energy storage system based on battery and supercapacitors is presented. It allows bigger amount of intantaneous power. The properties of the proposed system are oriented in high efficiency, in a special topology with parallel channels. The paper presen ...
Purpose: To measure the proton density (PD), the T1 and T2 relaxation time, and magnetization transfer (MT) effects in human median nerve at 3 T and to compare them with the corresponding values in muscle. ...
We present a model to predict and represent human fatigue in a 3D interactive system. A fatigue model has been developed for the fatigue assessment of several joints of the human body within the static case hypothesis. The model incorporates normalized tor ...
This paper describes interactive facilities for simulating abstract muscle actions using rational free form deformations (RFFD). The particular muscle action is simulated as the displacement of the control points of the control-unit for an RFFD defined on ...
