Abstract This work introduced a new hand prosthesis architecture able to achieve an opposite and lateral grasp by using single actuator. An analysis of the prostheses, as well movements classically performed in daily life at allows us focus our on these two types grasp. A lockable passive joint is moved user switch between The location thumb was defined thanks 3D scans four extreme positions. m...

The key technology of the prosthetic knee is to simulate torque and angle biological knee. In this work, we proposed a novel operated in semi-active mode. structure with ball-screw driven by motor passive hydraulic damping cylinder was presented. A four-bar linkage adapted track instantaneous center motion human mathematical models active were established angle. results show that symmetry index...

Bar-coded multiplexed sequencing approaches based on new-generation sequencing technologies provide capacity to sequence a mapping population in a single sequencing run. However, such approaches usually generate low-coverage and error-prone sequences for each line in a population. Thus, it is a significant challenge to genotype individual lines in a population for linkage map construction based...

SYNOPSIS. The evolution of feeding mechanisms in the ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) is a compelling example of transformation in a musculoskeletal complex involving multiple skeletal elements and numerous muscles that power skull motion. Biomechanical models of jaw force and skull kinetics aid our understanding of these complex systems and enable broad comparison of feeding mechanics across...
