A 78-year-old diabetic woman experienced multiple sites of gangrene not only in fingers that were directly bitten by a dog but also in fingers and toes that had not beenbitten. Her glycemic control was fair and microvascular complications were mild. There were no clinical findings related to angitis, collagenosis or severe infection. The fingers and toes with gangrene were amputated. The pathol...

Molecular line, millimetre/submillimetre continuum, and mid-IR observations are reported of the opaque fingers which cross the Eagle Nebula. The fingers are surprisingly warm when viewed in the CO J= 3–2 lines, with kinetic temperatures approaching 60 K, although the lines are relatively narrow. Most of the mass in the fingers is concentrated in cores which lie at the tips of the fingers, and c...

Zinc is one of the most widespread metal ions found in biological systems. Of the expected 3000 zinc proteins in the human proteome, most contain zinc in structural sites. Among these structures, the most important are zinc fingers, which are well suited to facilitate interactions with DNA, RNA, proteins and lipid molecules. Knowledge regarding their stability is a critical issue in understandi...

We tested several techniques for decoding the activity of primary motor cortex (M1) neurons during movements of single fingers or pairs of fingers. We report that single finger movements can be decoded with >99% accuracy using as few as 30 neurons randomly selected from populations of task-related neurons recorded from the M1 hand representation. This number was reduced to 20 neurons or less wh...

Fingerprints as evidence of very important material are believed to have unique and distinctive properties in the sense that no two individuals exact same fingerprint pattern, even identical twins different patterns. A person's will not change for a lifetime. The objectives be achieved this study identify dominant pattern ethnic population Southwest Sumba, students IKIP Budi Utomo Malang.This t...

This study compared the effectiveness two-finger chest compression technique (TFCC) performed using the right vs. left hand and the index-middle vs. middle-ring fingers. Four different finger/hand combinations were tested randomly in 30 healthcare providers performing TFCC (Test 1: the right index-middle fingers; Test 2: the left index-middle fingers; Test 3: the right middle-ring fingers; Test...

A simple model of Laplacian growth is considered, in which the growth takes place only at the tips of long, thin fingers. Following Carleson and Makarov [L. Carleson and N. Makarov, J. Anal. Math. 87, 103 (2002)], the evolution of the fingers is studied with use of the deterministic Loewner equation. The method is then extended to study the growth in a linear channel with reflecting sidewalls. ...

Behavioral tactile discrimination thresholds were compared with functional magnetic resonance imaging measurements of cortical finger representations within primary somatosensory cortex (S1) for 10 human subjects to determine whether cortical magnification in S1 could account for the variation in tactile hyperacuity thresholds of the fingers. Across 10 subjects, the increase in tactile threshol...

This paper describes the design and preliminary evaluation of a glove with individual sensors covering the tips of the thumb, third, and fourth fingers, plus grids of smaller sensors lining the palmar sides of the first and second fingers. The glove senses two types of gestures: rubbing the thumb against the first two fingers, and tapping the thumb on the tip of any of the four fingers, alone o...
