This paper presents a real time force sensing instrument that is designed for human gait analysis purposes. It is capable of recording and monitoring ground reaction forces exerted by human foot during various activities such as walking, running and jumping in real time. In overall, force sensing mat mainly consists of three elements: the force sensing mat, signal conditioning circuit and data ...

background and objectives: timely diagnosis of leptospirosis is essential for an effective treatment. large diversity of clinical symptoms has led leptospirosis diagnosis difficult. researchers have conducted many tests with wide-range of sensitivity and specificity to achieve novel diagnostic procedures which have higher sensitivity and specificity compared with previous tests and which are mo...

The tabular approach and interpretation of results, as mentioned, according to varying MAT titres is a standard practice in any laboratory situated in a leptoendemic area including at ours at JIPMER, Pondicherry. We too take single high titre of 1:400 as positive. Nevertheless, the problem with MAT will be one of availability of facility, as mentioned in our original article. Thus, ELISA IgM wi...

leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease, which can induce hepatic lesions. photosensitization (ps)maybe is the result of accumulation of photodynamic agents in unpigmented area of the skin exposed tosunlight which occurred due to hepatic lesions. an outbreak of leptospirosis was occurred in a dairy cattleherd complex with 760 dairy milking cows in march (1990). totally, 412 cows (54.21%) ...

The distinct rhizomorphic mats formed by ectomycorrhizal Piloderma fungi are common features of the organic soil horizons of coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest. These mats have been found to cover 25e40% of the forest floor in some Douglas-fir stands, and are associated with physical and biochemical properties that distinguish them from the surrounding non-mat soils. In this study, we ...

BACKGROUND Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 (upd(6)mat) is a rare finding and its clinical relevance is currently unclear. Based on clinical data from two new cases and patients from the literature, the pathogenetic significance of upd(6)mat is delineated. METHODS Own cases were molecularly characterized for isodisomic uniparental regions on chromosome 6. For further cases with upd...

Two simple enzyme immunoassays, a conventional microplate and dot-ELISA, were developed to detect specific IgM antibodies using pool sonicated antigen prepared from three of the most reactive serovars of Leptospira associated with disease in Thailand. Both assays were evaluated and compared with the standard microscopic agglutination test (MAT) performed with 343 serum samples. A battery of 16 ...

Abstra t. Numeri string is a sequen e of symbols from an alphabet U, where U is some numeri al universe losed under addition and subtra tion. Given two numeri strings A = a 1 a m and B = b 1 b n and a distan e fun tion d(A;B) that gives the s ore of the best (partial) mat hing of A and B, the transposition invariant distan e is min t2U fd(A + t; B)g, where A + t = (a 1 + t)(a 2 + t) : : : (a m ...
