Reaching to grasp is of fundamental importance to primate motor behavior and requires coordinating hand preshaping with limb transport and grasping. We aimed to clarify the role of cerebellar output via the magnocellular red nucleus (RNm) to the control of reaching to grasp. Rubrospinal fibers originating from RNm constitute one pathway by which cerebellar output influences spinal circuitry dir...

Land use affects changes in peak discharge so that it has the potential to cause or prevent flooding. Sago morphological characteristics have absorb more water. This study aimed determine magnitude of change upstream watershed after sago planting. Observations were made on three growth phases palms (initial, middle, and mature phases). The research stages included calculating runoff coefficient...

Aiming at the impact of energy storage investment on production cost, market transaction and charge discharge efficiency storage, a research model economic boundary taking into account whole life cycle cost was proposed. Firstly, peak-valley filling time division method based equal capacity is proposed, which effectively improves accuracy ES should scene switch. On this basis, control strategy ...

A diagnostic is developed for the nonintrusive study of the azimuthal drift current in the coaxial ExB discharge of a Hall plasma accelerator. The technique of fast current interruption is used to generate a signal on several loop antenna that circle the outer wall of the discharge channel. The signal on the antenna is recorded, and used to determine the spatial distribution of the azimuthal dr...

Seasonal variations in the incidence of pneumonia and influenza are associated with nosocomial Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) incidence, but the reasons why remain unclear. Our objective was to consider the impact of pneumonia and influenza timing and severity on CDI incidence. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the US National Hospital Discharge Survey sample. Hospitalized ...

Background: Low peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) (<60 L/min) among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may result in ineffective medication inhalation, leading to poor bronchodilation. Objective: The objectives of this analysis were to evaluate the prevalence of low PIFR at the time of discharge from a COPD-related hospitalization and to examine the real-world treatment ...

A two part 8.5 month study was undertaken to see if peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) could be used to guide casualty officers deciding whether to admit or discharge children with asthma. In part 1 PEFR, immediate treatment, and admission or discharge of all children attending because of asthma were recorded. In part 2 the same information was recorded after the introduction of admission and dis...

Hyperthermia is an environmental stressor that produces marked increases in visceral sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) in young rats. The brainstem in rats contains the essential neural circuitry for mediating visceral sympathetic activation; however, specific brainstem sites involved remain virtually unknown. The rostral ventral lateral medulla (RVLM) is a key central nervous system region inv...
