The repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (RPMS) is an innovative approach in treatment of central paresis, e. g. after stroke. In this article we present a neuromuscular model for the RPMS-induced muscle contraction. This model is the basis for our two recent goals in research: Position controlled movement induction and automated therapy evaluation by means of system identification. In or...

We present Icecite, a new fully web-based research paper management system (RPMS). Icecite facilitates the following otherwise laborious and time-consuming steps typically involved in literature research: automatic metadata and reference extraction, on-click reference downloading, shared annotations, offline availability, and full-featured search in metadata, full texts, and annotations. None o...

The commonly prescribed antiepileptic drug phenytoin has a narrow therapeutic range and wide interindividual variability in clearance explained in part by CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 coding variants. After finding a paradoxically low urinary phenytoin metabolite (S)/(R) ratio in subjects receiving phenytoin maintenance therapy with a CYP2C9*1/*1 and CYP2C19*1/*2 genotype, we hypothesized that CYP2C9 reg...

Purpose. To evaluate aqueous humor MMP-9 levels in alkali-burned rabbit cornea following KPr implantation and their roles in RPMs formation. Methods. Left eyes of 36 rabbits received a deep corneal alkali wound. 12 corneas were implanted with KPro and the other 24 control corneas were either penetrating keratoplasty or left without keratoplasty. Aqueous humor MMP-9 and TIMP-1 levels were determ...

A complete understanding of both the steady state and transient background measured by Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs) is essential to predictable system performance, as well as maximization of detection sensitivity. To facilitate this understanding, a test bed for the study of natural background in RPMs has been established at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This work was performed in supp...

Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (RPMS ) is an innovative approach in treatment of central paresis, e.g. after stroke, by inducing muscle contractions and relaxations. The therapeutic effect can be increased by a closed loop control to induce coordinated movements in the forearm and the fingers. An appropriate model of muscle contractions induced by RPMS provides the basis for the con...

Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPMs) have been widely used to evaluate the visual reasoning ability of humans. To tackle challenges perception and logic on RPMs, we propose a Hierarchical ConViT with Attention-based Relational Reasoner (HCV-ARR). Traditional solution methods often apply relatively shallow convolution networks visually perceive shape patterns in RPM images, which may not fully mo...

Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (RPMS) is an innovative approach in treatment of central paresis, e.g. after stroke. In this article we present a neuromuscular model for the RPMS-induced isometric muscle contraction. This model is the basis for our two recent goals in research: improvement and assessment of the RPMS therapy by means of position controlled induction of functional move...

ultrasonic assisted drilling (usd) is new technique to drill difficult to machine materials. in this method, tool or workpiece vibrates with amplitude of few microns in addition to conventional drill bite rotation. in this experimental research, the bone was drilled both conventionally and using uad, then the thrust was measured in two methods at feed rates of 50, 75 and 125 mm/s and 500, 710 a...
