Background and Purpose: Our aim in this study was to assess physical function as a predictor of stroke incidence in a probability sample of noninstitutionalized elderly subjects with no previous history of stroke. Summary of Report: The data were obtained from a prospective longitudinal study of 2,812 individuals aged 65 years of age and older living in New Haven, Connecticut. Incidence of stro...

In this paper we propose a set of criteria to evaluate the performance of various parallel mechanism architectures for CNC machining applications. In the robotics literature mathematical formulations of qualities like manipulability, stiffness, and workspace volume have been proposed to evaluate the performance of general-purpose robots. Here we propose a set of performance measures that specif...

Sets of dry and wet boring experiments are conducted to estimate the amount of heat transferred into the workpiece and the cutting fluid heat convection coefficient in a boring operation by an inverse heat transfer method. The temperature distribution in the bore is predicted using a heat transfer model that includes heat convection on the inner and outer bore walls. The developed model is solv...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) was originally coined to define a quality control mechanism that targets mRNAs with truncated open reading frames due to the presence of a premature termination codon. Meanwhile, it became clear that NMD has a much broader impact on gene expression and additional biological functions beyond quality control are continuously being discovered. We review here the ...
