In rabbits, 9 g rectus femoris (RFM) muscles were grafted with tendon repair and with (1) nerves and blood vessels intact, (2) nerves intact and blood vessels anastomosed, or (3) nerves and blood vessels anastomosed. The influences of tendon, nerve, and vascular repair on the functional capabilities of grafts were compared 15-120 days after grafting. Data were collected on the mass, total prote...

BACKGROUND Women presenting with reduced fetal movements (RFM) in the third trimester are at increased risk of stillbirth or fetal growth restriction. These outcomes after RFM are related to smaller fetal size on ultrasound scan, oligohydramnios and lower human placental lactogen (hPL) in maternal serum. We performed this study to address whether a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of the manag...

We molecularly cloned and analyzed an N-tropic ecotropic retrovirus induced with iododeoxyuridine from RFM/Un mouse cell cultures. Based on the restriction map, the RFM/Un virus appears to be indistinguishable from other induced N-tropic retroviruses. A nucleotide sequence analysis of the long terminal repeat of an infectious clone revealed structural features characteristic of murine type C re...

In this paper, we present a multi-resolution random field model (RFM) and a corresponding algorithm for anomaly subspace detection. We utilize the redundant discrete wavelet transform (RDWT) for generating a multi-resolution feature space, and model each layer by a non-casual RFM with different sets of parameters. A multi-resolution matched subspace detector (MSD) is designed for detecting targ...

The primate play-face is homologous to the human facial display accompanying laughter. Through facial mimicry, the play-face evokes in the perceiver a similar positive emotional state. This sensorimotor and emotional sharing can be adaptive, as it allows individuals to fine-tune their own motor sequences accordingly thus increasing cooperation in play. It has been recently demonstrated that, no...

The rational function model (RFM) is a generic form of many sensor models. The universal real-time image geometry model recommended by the OpenGIS consortium is essentially based on the RFM. Many data vendors are or will be supporting the RFM based solutions by providing rational function coefficients (RFCs). With known RFCs, the end users will be able to rectify the imagery using the RFM witho...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of transversely sloped ballasted walking surface on gait and rearfoot motion (RFM) parameters. Motion analysis was performed with 20 healthy participants (15 male and 5 female) walking in six surface-slope conditions: two surfaces (solid and ballasted) by three slopes (0, 5, and 10 degrees). The gait parameters (walking velocity, step len...

The recent study of recommendation systems and RFM method has been applied to analyze customers’ consumption property and the re-purchasing ability. The RFM method employs Recency(R), Frequency(F), and Monetary(M) to measure customers’ consumption loyalty. And the recommendation systems mainly to promote products for increasing profit. However, there are some problems because they ignore the re...
