this paper proposes a gait planning approach to reduce the required friction for a biped robot walking on various surfaces. to this end, a humanoid robot with 18 dof is considered to develop a dynamics model for studying various 3d manoeuvres. then, feasible trajectories are developed to alleviate the fluctuations on the upper body to resemble human-like walking. in order to generate feasible w...

Finger-tapping tasks are one of the most common paradigms used to study the human motor system in functional neuroimaging studies. These tasks can vary both in the presence or absence of a pacing stimulus as well as in the complexity of the tapping task. A voxel-wise, coordinate-based meta-analysis was performed on 685 sets of activation foci in Talairach space gathered from 38 published studie...

Background. There have been many studies on partial weight support walking training. However, most studies have been performed in treadmill settings, not in actual walking environments. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of partial weight support ground walking training on the temporal and spatial gait parameters of chronic stroke patients. Methods. This study was designed...

Background: Genome walking is a DNA-cloning methodology that is used to isolate unknown genomic regions adjacent to known sequences. However, the existing genome-walking methods have their own limitations. Objectives: Our aim was to provide a simple and efficient genome-walking technology. Material and Methods: In this paper, we dev...

The vertical dimensions of the well-characterized test samples tobacco mosaic virus, T4 bacteriophage polyhead, purple membrane, and hexagonally packed intermediate (HPI) layer were investigated by tapping mode scanning force microscopy (SFM) in solution. Purple membrane and HPI layer were imaged in both contact mode and tapping mode SFM for direct comparison. All vertical dimensions match the ...

Chiral hybrid metal halides have been widely studied in the field of photondetectors, chiral optics, and spintronics due to their great structural flexibility suitable bandgaps. Inspired by such progress made abovementioned fields, continuous efforts need be paid seek other interesting applications for halides. Herein, synthesis a pair one-dimensional enantiomorphic halide piezoelectrics, R/SMP...
