OBJECTIVE An imbalanced diet elevates health risks for many chronic diseases including obesity. Dietary monitoring could contribute vital information to lifestyle coaching and diet management, however, current monitoring solutions are not feasible for a long-term implementation. Towards automatic dietary monitoring, this work targets the continuous recognition of dietary activities using on-bod...

Wearable sensors are increasingly finding their way into applications of kinesthetic sensing, personal health monitoring, and smart prosthetics/robotics. A graphene-based composite fiber sensor with a "compression spring" structure is fabricated, featuring the ability of detecting multiple kinds of deformation. This fiber sensor is integrated into wearable sensors for monitoring human activitie...

Economic escape theory predicts flight initiation distance (FID, predator–prey distance when fleeing from an approaching predator begins), but currently cannot account for an observed increase in FID as alert distance (AD, predator–prey distance when a prey becomes alert to a predator), or its surrogate, starting distance (SD, predator–prey distance when approach begins) increases. The flush ea...

At the beginning of their offshore migration, hatchling sea turtles enter the ocean at night and establish a course away from land by swimming directly into oceanic waves. How turtles can detect wave direction while swimming under water in darkness, however, has not been explained. Objects in a water column beneath the surface of the ocean describe a circular movement as waves pass above. In pr...

revolutionary movements which began in tunis in 2010 immediately impressed all arab countries. these movements have led to many essential changes in the middle east. so far, four presidents have been ousted from power. revolutionary forces in the arab world to achieve their goals used media. so the media played a large role in the revolutionary changes in the arab countries. given the media&apo...

This study examines how signals generated in the oculomotor cerebellum could be involved in the control of gaze shifts, which rapidly redirect the eyes from one object to another. Neurons in the caudal fastigial nucleus (cFN), the output of the oculomotor cerebellum, discharged when monkeys made horizontal head-unrestrained gaze shifts, composed of an eye saccade and a head movement. Eighty-sev...

We perceive a stable outside world despite the constant changes of visual input induced by our eye movements. Internal monitoring of a corollary discharge associated with oculomotor commands may help to anticipate the perceptual consequences of impending eye movements. The primate frontal eye fields have repeatedly been presumed to participate in the maintenance of perceptual stability across e...

Sophisticated modern methods of fetal monitoring during labor have improved the prognosis for high-risk infants, but the possible adverse side effects have not yet been fully documented. One infant with osteomyelitis and one with streptococcal sepsis are reported. In the future, greater attention should be paid to such potential complications and new noninvasive techniques of fetal monitoring s...
