We describe MusicJacket, a wearable system to support the teaching of good posture and bowing technique to novice violin players. The system uses an inertial motion capture system to track, in real-time: i) whether the player is holding the violin correctly; and ii) the player’s bowing action and whether it deviates from a target trajectory. We provide the musicians with vibrotactile feedback a...

the aim of this study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles in rat. twenty temporal bones from 10 adult rats were used. the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by a stereomicroscope. finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the sigma statt software. temporal bone in rat was similar to other animals consists of ...

This paper presents the results of two recent pilot experiments conducted to investigate the performance of a realtime physical violin model using bowing parameters generated by a real player. In each of these two experiments, the calibrated bowing parameters of bow force, bow speed, and bow position (bow-bridge distance) are mapped to the calibrated inputs of the physical model in order to exa...

In this research, anatomical descriptions of the structure of the temporal bone and auditory ossicles have been performed based on dissection of ten guinea pigs. The results showed that, in guinea pig temporal bone was similar to other animals and had three parts; squamous, tympanic and petrous .The tympanic part was much better developed and consisted of oval shaped tympanic bulla with many re...

Giant cell reparative granulomas (GCRG) are non-neoplastic rapidly expanding and locally destructive lesions typical of facial skeleton bones. Jaffé first described these lesions in 1953, designating benign lesions of the jaw that were histologically different from true giant cell tumors of long bones. Mandibular GCRG area rare lesions, comprising less than 7% of all benign bone lesions of the ...

Short rib-polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) is a rare congenital autosomal recessive inherited disease classified in four subtypes. Prenatal ultrasonography findings and postnatal examinations may help classify one of We present case an infant who presented multiple anomalies the radiography helped to SRPS as type IV (Beemer-Langer). A 23-year-old was referred for prenatal ultrasound which showed cys...

Although there is much data available on mammalian long-bone allometry, a theory explaining these data is still lacking. We show that bending and axial compression are the relevant loading modes and elucidate why the elastic similarity model failed to explain the experimental data. Our analysis provides scaling relations connecting bone diameter and length to the axial and transverse components...

Techniques for staining (silver, osmium, metal sulfides, ink) and microphotography (epi-illumination) of polished bone surfaces have been developed to visualize the three-dimensional structure of the shafts of mammalian long bones. Bone is a two-compartment system with capillaries and some kinds of connective tissue in one compartment separated from fibers of bone collagen, often forming lamell...
