We examined the amplitude and latency of movement-related cerebral field (MRCF) waveforms, the generator and afferent feedback of movement-evoked field 1 (MEF1), and the relationship between motor field neuromagnetic activity and electromyographic activity during performance of two types of voluntary index extension. Eight healthy, right-handed male volunteers participated in this study. Experi...

A caseofobsessionaldisorder isdescribedin which a combination of tranylcypromine and thought stopping was effective in markedly reducing obsessional ruipinations. Thought stopping appearsto have had a major role in preventing relapseon withdrawal of the tranylcypromine. Isberg (1981) and Jemke (1981) have reviewed the literature regarding the response of obsessivecompulsivedisorders to monoamin...

The effects of Li2CO3 like species originating from reactions between CO2 and Li2O2 at the cathode of non-aqueous Li-air batteries were studied by density functional theory (DFT) and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements. Adsorption energies of CO2 at various nucleation sites on a stepped (11̅00) Li2O2 surface were determined and even a low concentration of CO2 effectively blocks the step ...

A new technique, the hidden variable method, is described for the creation of robust geometric algorithms: algorithms which can be implemented with absolute reliability using rounded nite precision arithmetic. The speciic application given here is an algorithm for computing arrangements of line segments in two dimensions: determining how a set of line segments subdivides the plane into vertices...

BACKGROUND Many traditional methods and commercially available products are available to prevent a wet cast, although there is a paucity of literature regarding the optimal strategy. METHODS Using a synthetic leg model, a short leg cast was applied and six different methods were tested. Group A (Glad Press'n Seal wrap), Group B (plastic bag with rubber band), Group C (plastic bag with duct ta...

The structure and properties of vacancies in a 2 nm Si nano-crystal are studied using a real space density functional theory/pseudopotential method. It is observed that a vacancy’s electronic properties and energy of formation are directly related to the local symmetry of the vacancy site. The formation energy for vacancies and Frenkel pair are calculated. It is found that both defects have low...

We present a study of the maximum stress supported by elastics bands of nitrile as a function of the natural length and the load time. The maximum tension of rupture and the corresponding variation in length were found by measuring the elongation of an elastic band when a mass is suspended from its free end until it reaches the breaking point. The work done by non-conservative forces was calcul...
