Accurate localization of brain activity recorded by magnetoencephalography (MEG) requires that the forward problem, i.e. the magnetic field caused by a dipolar source current in a homogeneous volume conductor, be solved precisely. We have used the Galerkin method with piecewise linear basis functions in the boundary element method to improve the solution of the forward problem. In addition, we ...

s Some zirconia foams are used as heating elemeht in electrical furnaces. Their creep behaviour has been investigated at high temperature and under low stress. Important visco-elastic behaviour has been observed. It is likely due to recrystallization, which is sensitive to the tetragonal-cubic phase transition and to the stress. I INTRODUCTION Porous and dense zirconia based ceramics have been ...

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a noninvasive technique for studying neuronal activity in the living human brain. Weak magnetic elds caused by the activity are measured from outside the head. Based on these measurements the source of the activity is located with the help of a mathematical model. A part of the localization is the repeated computation of the electric potential on the surface of t...

This paper describes two fast range sensing systems that are being developed at the RobottcS Institute of Carnegie MelIon. The first system is a passive video-rate stereo machine, based on the multi-baseline stereo theory, whose expected performance will exceed that of existing stereo methods or mediumto-short distance scanninglaser range Ande rsin most categories: high throughput (l.% Million ...

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) in the simulation of static packings allows one to investigate the behavior of granular materials by modeling the forces on the particle level. No macroscopic parameters like the angle of repose enter the simulation, but they can be extracted as a result of the particle properties like friction, roughness or shape. One of the issues of static packings recently ...

A large area electronics in the form of a soft elastomeric capacitor (SEC) has shown great promise as a strain sensor for fatigue crack monitoring in steel structures. The SEC sensors are inexpensive, easy to fabricate, highly stretchable, and mechanically robust. It is a highly scalable technology, capable of monitoring deformations on mesoscale systems. Preliminary experiments verified the SE...

Abstract In this study, femtosecond laser assisted-chemical vapor infiltration (LA-CVI) was employed to produce C/SiC composites with 1, 3, and 5 rows of mass transfer channels. The effect machining power on the quality produced holes investigated. results showed that increase in yielded complete hole structures. as-obtained different channels displayed higher densification degrees flexural str...

background: dense granule antigens (gra antigens) of toxoplasma gondii induce strong antibody response in humans and are considered as useful diagnostic antigens. previous studies reported expression of amino terminal gra8 protein in fusion with large tags such as glutathione-s-transferase. the present study aimed to produce soluble full length immunogenic gra8 in bacteria. methods: gra8 comple...
