1 Neuromusculoskeletal disorders affecting walking ability are often difficult to manage, in part due to 2 limited understanding of how a patient’s lower extremity muscle excitations contribute to the patient’s 3 lower extremity joint moments. To assist in the study of these disorders, researchers have developed 4 electromyography (EMG) driven neuromusculoskeletal models utilizing scaled generi...

Motivated by an interest in detecting DNA adducts in their nucleotide form by mass spectrometry (1), we sought efficient, low-cost conditions for enzymatic digestion of a relatively large amount of DNA (≥ 1 mg). Of the enzymes available for such digestion, nuclease P1, which forms deoxynucleoside-5′-monophosphates, seemed to be a good initial choice because it is widely used for digesting DNA, ...

The immense demand for communication systems worldwide has created an enormous market for semiconductors devices (SiGe HBTs) in variegated applications. Nowadays SiGe HBTs are surpassing even the fastest III-V production devices in the GHz speed orbit. Scaling has been the prime source of supremacy behind the successful technology innovations. The design and optimization of un-scaled and scaled...

In this theoretical work, we treat behavioral and perceptual issues on an equal footing and examine the emergence of mutually exclusive behavioral patterns and perceptual variables during infant development from the perspective of multistable competitive dynamic systems. Accordingly, behavioral modes and modes of perception compete with each other for activation. One and only one mode survives ...
