Pain is an inevitable part of chronic subacute inflammatory disorders and although there are many analgesics available for chronic mild intermittent joint pain; topical gel are often preferred; being effective, safe, convenient and economical. These topical gel contain counterirritants and rubefacients, which had been well studied in terms of its pharmacological properties. This study was plann...

The mobility of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is critical for functional grasping and manipulation tasks. We present an optimization technique for determining from surface marker measurements a subject-specific kinematic model of the in vivo CMC joint that is suitable for measuring mobility. Our anatomy-based cost metric scores a candidate joint model by the plausibility of the correspo...

The prevention and treatment of epidemic is always an urgent problem faced by the human being. Due to the special space structure, huge passenger flow and great people mobility, the subway lines have become the areas with high epidemic transmission risks. However, there is no recent study related to epidemic transmission in the subway network on urban-scale. In this article, from the perspectiv...

Transformable products (or transformers), those with two or more functional states, are increasingly utilized by our society. As the mobility and complexity of life increases, so must the adaptability of the products which we use. To develop more adaptable products and systems, we need new design techniques. Transformer design methodology is a discipline with opportunity for expansive developme...

Vehicular Networks enable a vast number of innovative applications, which rely on the efficient exchange of information between vehicles. However, efficient and reliable data dissemination is a particularly challenging task in the context of vehicular networks due to the underlying properties of these networks, limited availability of network infrastructure and variable penetration rates for di...
