Benefiting from the rapid development of convolutional neural networks, performance car license plate detection and recognition has been largely improved. Nonetheless, most existing methods solve problems separately, focus on specific scenarios, which hinders deployment for real-world applications. To overcome these challenges, we present an efficient accurate framework to tasks simultaneously....

Objectives: To study the correlation between anatomical parameters and EMG signals by means of simulations. Methods: A mathematical model of the electrical activity from muscle ®bres and motor units has been developed. The electrical ®elds around the muscle ®bres are simulated using a line source model. The model permits the simulation of single muscle ®bre action potentials obtained by SFEMG, ...

To investigate the influence of end-plate stiffeners on the initial rotational stiffness of extended end-plate internal joints, an experimental program was carried out to investigate the rotational behavior of the joints. Two finite element methods (FEMs) were proposed using ABAQUS software. The stress distribution, plastic development, and deformation characteristics of extended end-plate join...

Passive transfer of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) was achieved using the gamma globulin fraction and purified IgG from sera of rats immunized with Electrophus electricus (eel) acetylcholine receptor (AChR). This demonstrates the critical role of anti-AChR antibodies in impairing neuromuscular transmission in EAMG. Passive transfer of anti-AChR antibodies from rats with chroni...

The role which Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (K(Ca)) channels play in regulating acetylcholine (ACh) release was examined at mouse motor nerve terminals. In particular, the ability of the antagonist iberiotoxin to recruit normally silent L-type Ca(2+) channels to participate in nerve-evoked release was examined using conventional intracellular electrophysiological techniques. Incubation of cut hemidiap...
