The rapid increase in experimental data along with recent progress in computational methods has brought modern biology a step closer toward solving one of the most challenging problems: prediction of protein function. Comprehension of protein function at its most basic level requires understanding of molecular interactions. Currently, it is becoming universally accepted that the scale of the ac...

This paper describes the measurement of various head images and the presentation of integrated images on an immersive projection system (IPS). We handled optical and magnetic method to obtain the information about face, head, brain and blood vessel. The system enables to observe the inside of a head interactively using a joystick, which gives the impression to travel in a human head freely. It ...

Humans adjust gaze by eye, head, and body movements. Certain stimulus properties are therefore elevated at the gaze center, but the relative contribution of eye-in-head and head-in-world movements to this selection process is unknown. Gaze- and head-centered videos recorded with a wearable device (EyeSeeCam) during free exploration are reanalyzed with respect to responses of a face-detection al...

an appropriate method to determine the hydraulic conductivity above water table is guelph permeameter. using this method, experiments can be carried out by one person in a short period. several investigators have commented on the systematic difference between the hydraulic conductivity obtained by guelph permeameter and shallow well pumping test (swpt) methods. therefore, the purpose of this re...

We present a programmable droplet-based microfluidic device that combines the reconfigurable flow-routing capabilities of integrated microvalve technology with the sample compartmentalization and dispersion-free transport that is inherent to droplets. The device allows for the execution of user-defined multistep reaction protocols in 95 individually addressable nanoliter-volume storage chambers...

OBJECTIVES To determine if the cervical range of motion (CROM) device, an instrument designed to assess the range of motion in the cervical spine, may be suited for accurately quantifying the magnitude of a patient's abnormal head posture, limitation of ductions, or range of single binocular vision at distance fixation. METHODS The CROM device was used to measure abnormal head postures in 10 ...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to develop a pointing device controlled by head movement that had the same functions as a conventional mouse and to evaluate the performance of the proposed device when operated by quadriplegic users. METHODS Ten individuals with cervical spinal cord injury participated in functional evaluations of the developed pointing device. The device consiste...

{ We describe a set of visual behaviors developed over the years, in the general context of robot navigation. The rst set of behaviors solve three basic problems in vehicle navigation: obstacle avoidance, docking to a surface and moving along corridors or walls. Another set of visual behaviors were developed for the active stereo head Medusa, with the purpose of tracking objects with arbitrary ...

Space telerobotics take place in a perceptionally highly demanding and unintuitive environment, which is characterized by a distinct lack of natural references regarding position, velocity and orientation. In the fields of aviation and terrestrial telerobotics, the operator is traditionally provided with attitude information in a Head-Up Display (HUD). This paper describes the design and the im...
