Teletaction is the transmission of cutaneous information from a remote tactile sensor to an operator’s skin, typically the finger tips. Ideally, one would like a realistic sensation of directly touching an object with one’s own finger and sense properties such as local shape, hardness, or texture. Teletaction or tactile feedback is one component of haptic feedback, the other component being for...

Influence of finger millet and kodo millet on rat dermal wound healing was assessed by making a 4 cm2 (2 x 2 cm) excision wound on the shaven back of rats under ether anesthesia. Finger millet or kodo millet flour (300 mg) as aqueous paste was applied topically once daily for 16 days. The granulation tissue formed on day 4, 8 and 12 was used to estimate some biochemical parameters like protein,...

The human UHRF1 protein (ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING finger domains 1) has emerged as a potential cancer target due to its implication in cell cycle regulation, maintenance of DNA methylation after replication and heterochromatin formation. UHRF1 functions as an adaptor protein that binds to histones and recruits histone modifying enzymes, like HDAC1 or G9a, which exert their action ...

The Chord protocol is the best known example of implementation of logarithmic complexity routing for structured peer-to-peer networks. Its routing algorithm, however, does not provide an optimal trade-off between resources exploited (the size of the ‘finger table’) and performance (the average or worst-case number of hops to reach destination). Cordasco et al. showed that a finger table based o...

In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for fingertip detection and finger type recognition. The algorithm is applied for locating fingertips in hand region extracted by Bayesian rule based skin color segmentation. Morphological operations are performed in the segmented hand region by observing key geometric features. A probabilistic modeling of the geometric features of finger movement ha...
