This study investigates the impact of the subcutaneous fat layer (SFL) thickness on localized electrical impedance myography (EIM), as well as the effects of different current electrodes, varying in distance and direction, on EIM output. Twenty-three healthy subjects underwent localized multi-frequency EIM on their biceps brachii muscles with a hand-held electrode array. The EIM measurements we...

The nondimensional groups which characterize a group of dynamically equivalent single exible link (SFL) manipulators are determined. A scaling law for linear rational controllers is developed for dynamically equivalent SFL systems. As an example of the applicability of this theoretical scaling law to even sophisticated control techniques, it is veriied experimentally for an H 1 control strategy.

Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) has stood the test of time as a model of text analysis. The present literature contains a plethora of studies that while taking the ‘clause’ as a unit of analysis have put into investigation the metafunctions in research articles of a single field of study or those of various fields in comparison. Although ‘clause complex’ is another unit of SF a...

the present study aims to investigate the system of the visual transitivity by analyzing the images of american english file (2014) and cutting edge (2005) series based on halliday’s (1976) systemic functional linguistics and kress and van leuween’s (1997-2006) social semiotics. the system of visual transitivity refers to a type of process which determines how represented participants are label...

among the linguistic resources for creating grammatical metaphor, nominalization rewords   processes and properties metaphorically as nouns within the experiential metafunction of language. following halliday's (1998a) classification of grammatical metaphor, the current study investigated nominalization exploited in an english applied linguistics textbook and its corresponding persian translati...

The response of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to autologous synovial fluid lymphocytes (SFL) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and Reiter's syndrome was investigated in an autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR). SFL were found to be poor responders but strong stimulators of autologous and allogeneic PBL compared with autologous PBL. The plastic-adherent (macrophage) cells from t...
