Local field potential (LFP) recordings from patients with deep brain stimulation electrodes in the basal ganglia have suggested that frequency-specific activities correlate with force or effort, but previous studies have not been able to disambiguate the two. Here, we dissociated effort from actual force generated by contrasting the force generation of different fingers while recording LFP acti...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to evaluate vitreoretinal interface (VRI) alteration with a short-wavelength scanning laser ophthalmoscope (swSLO), the Nidek F-10, and compare the results with those obtained by means of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS Thirty-six eyes were studied (20 patients, mean age 68 ± 12.3 years). All patients underwent a complete ...

This paper presents an IG3PR-VRI, a novel Virtual Reality (VR) interface for the control of the Isoglide3 Parallel Robot (IG3PR), an effective robotic device with three degrees of freedom manipulation. The IG3PR manipulator introduced in [24], offers the superior characteristics with regards to the other parallel manipulators, such as the light weight construction on one hand, while on the othe...

Abstract Adoption of water-conservation irrigation practices could potentially reduce water and energy use increase profitability, as well protect the environment. Precision consisting soil sensors (SS) for scheduling variable rate (VRI) was compared with conventional uniform (URI). The study conducted in South Alabama during 2018 2019 corn growing seasons. SS-VRI URI treatments spanned length ...

Variable rate irrigation (VRI) is used to save water whilst maintaining crop yields in semiarid regions. A key problem be able inexpensively determine spatial patterns soil moisture so that VRI zones can defined. In Southern Idaho, USA, the annual precipitation low and most falls as winter snow. This research investigates whether snow melt measured using freely available time-series Sentinel 2 ...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Ventricular repolarization indexes (VRI) tend to be altered in patients with chronic coronary artery disease, which are associated a higher risk malignant arrhythmias and mortality. Coronary bypass grafting (CABG) is capable reducing mortality, as well improving arrhythmic burden this population. However, we do not kn...

The circulatory responses to sustained handgrip at 30 per cent of a maximum voluntary contraction of the forearm muscles (MVC) were examined in untreated hypertensive patients. Arterial pressure increased in all patients, often attaining very high levels. Two main patterns of circulatory response were observed. In group i (8 patients) there was an increase in cardiac index and heart rate, with ...
