We examined how the transformation of coordinates from visual to motor space is reflected by neuronal activity in the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) of monkeys. Three monkeys were trained to reach with their right hand for a target that appeared on a screen. While performing the task, the monkeys wore prisms that shifted the image of the target 10 degrees, left or right, or wore no prisms, for a...

The development of collaborative control strategies for radiant cooling and ventilation systems improves thermal comfort energy efficiency. This study used the Transient System Simulation (TRNSYS) tool integrated with parametric simulation manager jEPlus to determine optimal starting operation mode a combined floor (RFC) system. results were validated by an experiment. optimization process was ...

plementary movie 3). The near-circular morphology of the sub aortic membrane with a central opening was also evident on 3D echocardiography when viewed in the parasternal orientation (Fig. 2C, Supplementary movie 4) and from the left ventricular side (Fig. 2D). Patient is now planned for surgical intervention with possible repair of the mitral valve and resection of sub aortic membrane. Shone e...

Introduction: Mitral stenosis is a prevalent valvular disease in developing countries. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is the gold standard treatment. The main objective of this study was to assess the initial results of PMBV in patients with mitral stenosis during 16 years (2002-2018) in Mashhad, Iran. Materials and Methods: From April 2002 to March 2018, 770 patients underwen...

The current study is focuses on a sustainable agricultural ecosystem for soil fertility and human health improvement. To estimate the effects of applying organic amendments (compost, vermicompost, biochar, manure rapeseed cake) crop growth maize nutrient uptake in calcareous soil, eleven treatments were studied, which included compost (CM), cow vermicompost (CMV), pig (PMV), biochar (BCV), (BC)...

42 A prevailing theory in the cortical control of limb movement posits that premotor cortex initiates a 43 high-level motor plan that is transformed by the primary motor cortex (MI) into a low-level motor 44 command to be executed. This theory implies that the premotor cortex is shielded from the 45 motor periphery and therefore its activity should not represent the low-level features of 46 mov...
