Elliptical centric contrast-enhanced MR angiography of the cervical vasculature is a well-established technique that in many practices has replaced conventional angiography for several clinical indications, including atherosclerotic disease and dissections. Occasionally blurring or loss of signal intensity occurs in the vertebral arteries, especially in young patients with rapid circulation tim...

Published research indicated that a line (FL) of turkeys selected for increased shank width and exhibiting good walking ability (WA) and improved leg structure was useful in improving WA of a cross with an unimproved commercial sire line while remaining competitive in BW and body conformation. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the FL line was useful in improving WA of tw...

The widely used above-the-knee prosthesis is composed of a quadri­ lateral muscle-contour, wooden thigh socket, a knee mechanism, a wooden shank, a SACH foot, and a suitable pelvic suspension. This type of pros­ thesis has met with considerable success in most patients, but it is expensive and not all geriatric patients can wear it. A so-called temporary limb—a modified long brace with a leathe...

In neighborhood-based texture synthesis, adjacent local regions need to satisfy color continuity constraints in order to avoid visible seams. Such continuity constraints seriously restrict the variability of synthesized textures, making it impossible to generate new textures by mixing multiple input textures with very different base colors. In this paper, we propose to relax such restrictions a...

The evaluation of multisegment coordination is important in gaining a better understanding of the gait and physical activities in humans. Therefore, this study aims to verify whether the use of knee sleeves affects the coordination of lower-limb segments during level walking and one-leg hopping. Eleven healthy male adults participated in this study. They were asked to walk 10 m on a level groun...

The assumption that people possess a repertoire of strategies to solve the inference problems they face has been made repeatedly. The experimental findings of two previous studies on strategy selection are reexamined from a learning perspective, which argues that people learn to select strategies for making probabilistic inferences. This learning process is modeled with the strategy selection l...

During human and animal locomotion, the dynamics of the body can be represented with the help of simplified biomechanical models, such as the spring-mass model (often described as spring-loaded inverted pendulum, SLIP model). In this model, it is assumed that the force generated by each limb resembles that of a linear spring. Furthermore, it is assumed that force generated by the leg mainly act...

Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan April sampai Mei 2019. Dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui komparasi ukuran morfometrik tiga jenis ayam domestik (ayam Burgo, Ketarras, dan Kampung) di Bengkulu. menggunakan 3 jantan Bengkulu yaitu Kampung. Ayam yang digunakan masing-masing 10 ekor. Variabel diamati adalah bobot badan, panjang shank, dada, lingkar tubuh, rentang sayap, paha atas, bawah, jari tenga...
