in this paper, an anomaly detection method in cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks with ad hoc on demand distance vector (aodv) routing protocol is proposed. in the method, the required features for describing the normal behavior of aodv are defined via step by step analysis of aodv and independent of any attack. in order to learn the normal behavior of aodv, a fuzzy averaging method is used fo...

Adequate exposure of the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) for carotid endarterectomy may be difficult to achieve because of the position of the mandible and associated soft tissues. A simple yet effective use of a head frame is described to gain several centimeters of exposure of the distal ICA. The patient's head and neck are fixed in an extension position using a radiolucent head frame. N...

The occurrence of tyrosine phosphorylation (TP) in the sperm head during capacitation has been poorly investigated, and no data exist on the relationship of its dynamics with the acquisition of sperm fertilizing ability. This study localized TP of head proteins in human spermatozoa during capacitation and explored its relationship with acquisition of the ability to display progesterone (P)-stim...

Primates orient visual gaze using different eye-head coordination strategies. To test how these strategies are formed, we trained a macaque monkey to perform 'head-only' gaze shifts looking through a 10 degrees head-fixed aperture. When we suddenly relocated this aperture 15 degrees downward, the animal could orient initial eye position toward the new aperture, but during large gaze saccades th...

Saccade-related burst neurons in the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) of the head-restrained monkey provide a phasic velocity signal to extraocular motoneurons for the generation of rapid eye movements. In the superior colliculus (SC), which directly projects to the PPRF, the motor command for conjugate saccades with the head restrained in a roll position is represented in a refere...

We describe a patient with a Mason type-III fracture of the head of the radius associated with traumatic dislocation of the elbow. The radial head was intact throughout its circumference despite being completely detached from the shaft and devoid of any soft-tissue attachments. Severe comminution of the radial neck prevented reconstruction by internal fixation and precluded prosthetic replaceme...

Limb movement is smooth and corrections of movement trajectory and amplitude are barely noticeable midflight. This suggests that skeletomuscular motor commands are smooth in transition, such that the rate of change of acceleration (or jerk) is minimized. Here we applied the methodology of minimum-jerk submovement decomposition to a member of the skeletomuscular family, the head movement. We exa...

The interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC) is thought to be the "neural integrator" for torsional/vertical eye position and head posture. Here, we investigated the coordination of eye and head movements after reversible INC inactivation. Three-dimensional (3-D) eye-head movements were recorded in three head-unrestrained monkeys using search coils. INC sites were identified by unit recording/electr...
