Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to investigate sensorimotor integration in the upper limb of 10 patients with Parkinson's disease and 10 age-matched controls. Non-conditioned and subthreshold conditioned (2 ms interstimulus interval) responses were recorded in the flexor and extensor carpi radialis muscles (FCR and ECR) of the more impaired (non-dominant) limb. Stimuli were del...

ITE JOURNAL / JUNE 2000 ARTERIAL CAPACITY PROBLEMS The function of an arterial is efficient movement of large traffic volumes over a significant distance.1 As arterial traffic volumes approach roadway capacity, delays grow rapidly at signalized intersections with significant cross-street volumes, diminishing the ability of the arterials to help traffic move effectively. Under conventional arter...

The main purpose was to analyze quantitatively the the average surface EMGs of the muscles that function around the elbow and shoulder joints of both arms in bimanual "rowing" movements, which were produced under identical elastic loads applied to the levers ("oars"). The muscles of PM group ("pulling" muscles: elbow flexors, shoulder extensors) generated noticeable velocity-dependent dynamic E...

Transient phase dynamics, synchronization, and desynchronization which are stimulus-locked (i.e., tightly time-locked to a repetitively administered stimulus) are studied in two coupled phase oscillators in the presence of noise. The presented method makes it possible to detect such processes in numerical and experimental signals. The time resolution is enormous, since it is only restricted by ...

Various engineered domain configurations were induced into barium titanate (BaTiO3) single crystals, and their piezoelectric properties were investigated as a function of (1) the crystal structure, (2) the crystallographic orientation and (3) the domain size. As a result, the orthorhombic mm2 BaTiO3 crystals showed the highest piezoelectric properties among three kinds of BaTiO3 crystals such a...

Analysis and design algorithms for residual generators for non minimum phase systems are given. It is shown that Rm optimization of residual generators applied directly to systems including non m i n i u m phase zeros can be very conservative. To remove this conservatism in the H, optimization of the residual generators, a factorization of the non minimum phase system into a minimum phase part ...

The measures that are currently used to evaluate users' performances on interaction tasks in virtual environments often do not provide sufficient information for how to improve these interactions. The current paper proposes a new method for analyzing 3D goal-directed movements based on dividing them into meaningful phases. We apply the method to experimental data that we have collected earlier ...

In the present study we demonstrate that a bulk inverse micellar cubic phase of Fd3m structure can be obtained by adding a hydrophobic component, such as the food-grade limonene, to the binary system monolinolein/water in a well-defined composition. The Fd3m structure studied in this work had a very slow kinetics of formation, as a consequence of partitioning of water into two types of micelle ...

On the basis of the principle that topological quantum phases arise from the scattering around space-time defects in higher dimensional uniication, a geometric model is presented that associates with each quantum phase an element of a transformation group.
