Is Impedance a Parameter to be Taken into Account in Spinal Cord Stimulation?

Should social network structure be taken into account in elections?

If the social network structure among the voters in an election is known, how should this be taken into account by the voting rule?

Early and rapid weaning does not appear to be a healthy practice in such environments. Although Ms Peletz and Dr Filteau are correct that “[WHO]...did not fully endorse abrupt weaning,” the WHO reference that they cited did note ...

Electrical Stimulation In Spinal Cord Injury Problems To Be Addressed In The First Weeks And Months After Spinal Cord Injury

During this time period, electrical stimulation [ES] may be suggested by the medical care team. Each individual patient must be evaluated to determine if there are any contraindications or precautions in the use of ES. SCI candidates for ES must have peripheral nerve supply, or an intact reflex arc, to the muscles to be stimulated. If the patient is a candidate, ES may be incorporated into dail...

What characteristics of the gamers' profile should be taken into account in player-centred game design?

In this paper, we introduce the theory of trait Emotional Intelligence (‘trait EI’) as a personality theory that could assist in exemplifying the gamers’ profile and contribute to the design of player-center game experiences. Data from two studies (a game-specific and a game-general one) led to a number of playercentered playability principles that could inform the design of adaptable games and...
