MRI Compatibility of Robot Actuation Techniques - A Comparative Study

This paper reports an experimental evaluation of the following three different MRI-compatible actuators: a Shinsei ultrasonic motor a Nanomotion ultrasonic motor and a pneumatic cylinder actuator. We report the results of a study comparing the effect of these actuators on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of MRJ images under a variety of experimental conditions. Evaluation was performed with the ...

Stimulus-Response Compatibility Is Information-Action Compatibility

5.2 Compatibility

27 In MultiContext systems, these compatibility relations are formalized as a special kind of inference rules, called bridge rules 11. The form of a bridge rule is the following: (12) where c i and c j are contexts and 1 ; : : :; n are formulae belonging to the language of c i and n+1 is a formula belonging to the language of c j. Semantically, the eeect of a rule like this is to put a constrai...

Skin compatibility of cyclodextrins and their derivatives: a comparative assessment using a corneoxenometry bioassay.

Few studies have been performed to assess the risk of skin damage by cyclodextrins (CD) and they have yielded contradictory results. The present study was conducted using the corneoxenometry bioassay on human stratum corneum to compare the skin compatibility of CD currently used in pharmaceutical preparations (betaCD, gammaCD, Rameb, Dimeb, Trimeb, HP-betaCD and HP-gammaCD) and that of new amph...

Comparative genomics analysis of pKF3-94 in Klebsiella pneumoniae reveals plasmid compatibility and horizontal gene transfer

In order to get insights into plasmid evolution and the dissemination of multidrug resistance, we performed extensive comparative genomics analyses of the Klebsiella pneumoniae plasmid pKF3-94 and some of its related plasmids. pKF3-94 is one of three plasmids isolated from the K. pneumoniae strain KF3. Of the 144 putative genes it harbors, 69 can be functionally assigned to be involved in trans...
