Strips of tissue from knuckle pads contract in response to the myofibroblast stimulant mepyramine in a reversible, repeatable and dose-dependent manner. The significance of this finding is discussed.

automation of tractors due to their widespread use in different sectors e.g. agriculture, construction and industry have been seriously considered by researchers. in this study a tele-steering system for tractor was designed and constructed to controling and steering so the operator can control the tractor even far away from the stressful condition of tractor cab, . a cctv camera and an electri...

background isolated small gut mesentery injury after blunt abdominal trauma from the steering wheel in road traffic accidents is rare. these are always challenging to diagnose and pose a diagnostic dilemma. objectives to study the pattern of small gut mesenteric injury by steering wheel blunt abdominal trauma in road traffic accidents in patients who had laparotomy. patients and methods a 10-ye...

Biometric system such as finger, face, iris, ear, voice, DNA etc. is used for personal identification. Authentication based on vein pattern is an approach that uses the vast network of blood vessels that lie underneath a skin on back of the hand. Vein pattern are unique and also difficult to duplicate. In this paper, we present an approach to identify the user using hand vein pattern and knuckl...

Carcass traits of beef cattle have been genetically improved to increase yield of high quality meat. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful method to identify genetic variants associated with carcass traits. For the 770K genotyped SNPs from 1141 Chinese Simmental cattle, we used the compressed mixed linear model (CMLM) to perform a genome-wide association study for knuckle, biceps a...

In general, the identification and verification are done by passwords, pin number, etc., which is easily cracked by others. Biometrics is a powerful and unique tool based on the anatomical and behavioral characteristics of the human beings in order to prove their authentication. This paper proposes a novel recognition methodology of biometrics named as Finger Knuckle print (FKP). Hence this pap...

In this paper, kinetic and kinematic modeling of a 4 wheel steering vehicle is done and its movement is controlled in an optimal way using Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). The results are compared with the same control of two-wheel steering case and the advantages are analyzed. In 4 wheel steering vehicles which are nowadays more applicable the number of controlling actuators are more than the...
