Among all the articles of human robots there are very few dedicated to the double support phase. A lot of researches consider this phase as an instantaneous transition between the single support phases for one leg to another in the biped gait. So we decided to focus our work in this direction and study the overactuated system that arises from the sub-actuated free-flyer humanoid with restrictio...

While the need for progesterone-based luteal phase support is well documented, the required treatment duration is not well established, and a practitioners' survey showed a wide range of empiric stopping points. It is suggested that an early stop can be based on assessing endogenous luteal activity on the day of pregnancy test. To examine this approach, data were retrospectively collected on 99...

Main Clinical Manifestation (MCM)-oriented diagnosis starts with a chief problem and reasons about possible diagnoses that can be manifested in that way. The reasoning process often starts by considering abstract diagnosis groups (e.g., infectious vs. non-infectious diarrhea) and refines them. Most existing diagnostic decision-support systems (DSSs) are not specially tailored toward assisting n...

Introduction: Hospitals experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak are in similar situation to those affected by natural disasters, with breakdown command and coordination, shortage of personnel supplies, increased stress among staff. In Japan, when occurs, the first step is for hospital or health center respond. However, if local authorities unable respond, Ministry Health, Labour Welfare dispatch Disas...

Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) have been described to have positive effects on the gait biomechanics in stroke patients. The plantarflexion resistance of an AFO is considered important for hemiplegic patients, but the evidence is still limited. The purpose of this case series was to design and evaluate the immediate effect of an articulated AFO on kinematics and kinetics of lower-limb joints in str...

Kung et al authored a valuable article entitled “Luteal phase support with decapeptyl improves pregnancy outcomes in ICSI with basal FSH >8 mIU/mL or mature oocytes 3”. This retrospective study enrolled 240 patients who underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). One hundred and forty-seven patients were in the decapeptyl group and 93 patients were in the control group. The authors inves...

In this study, we try to apply SVMs to the semantic role labeling task, which is one of the multiclass problems. As a result, we propose a two-phase semantic role labeling model which consists of the identification phase and the classification phase. We first identify semantic arguments, and then assign semantic roles to the identified semantic arguments. By taking the two-phase approach, we ca...

Recently, phase change memory (PRAM) has been developed as a next generation memory technology. Because PRAM can be accessed as word-level using memory interface of DRAM and offer more density compared to DRAM, PRAM is expected as an alternative main memory device. Moreover, it can be used as additional storage of system because of its non-volatility. However, PRAM has several problems. First, ...

SUBJECT Luteal phase support has been shown in the past to be an essential part of ovarian stimulation protocols, especially the long protocol. It could be shown that hCG is as effective as is progesterone for luteal phase support but hCG is accompanied by a higher rate of complications. METHODS Progesterone can be administered in several routes. The oral, intramuscular (i.m.) and vaginal rou...
