Mirror neurons, discovered by Rizzolatti et al. in the 1990s , have been the subject of much debate. There are many theories regarding their possible function, both evolutionarily as well as in day to day life. It has been proposed that mirror neurons are the single neuron substrates of the Common Code , which links perceptual and action representations to allow the brain to predict of the outc...

Background: Hemodialysis patients experience pains induced by cannulation of an arteriovenous (AV) fistula. The effect of mirror therapy on patients’ pain severity has not been investigated in individuals living with hemodialysis. Aim: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of mirror therapy on AV fistula cannulation-related pain s...

in order to investigate the role of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) on fracture mechanism of epoxy nanocomposites, a series of tensile standard specimens reinforced with different carbon nanotube contents (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1 wt%) were produced. the fracture surfaces of the produced nanocomposites were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (sem). the results show that the surface frac...

mirror movement is an interesting but often overlooked neurological soft sign;these movements are described as simultaneous contralateral, involuntary, identical movements that accompany voluntary movements. this neurologic problem is very rarely seen in children; in familial cases there is a positive history of these movements in parents, diminishing with time. here, we have presented the case...

Single droplet impingement onto inclined heated surface is studied experimentally. Droplet in the form of aquades dropped from a fixed height 70 mm to metal with 45º impact angle. This experiment uses 3 types metals; Stainless Steel AISI 304, Aluminum Alloy 2024, and Copper. All material surfaces are mirror polished assumed have same treatment condition. Surface temperatures 110 ºC, 150 ºC 210 ...

Recently proposed low scale quantum gravity scenario is expected to have a significant impact on the Mirror World hypothesis. Some aspects of this influence is investigated here, assuming that the fundamental gravity scale is near a TeV. It is shown that future colliders will be capable to produce the mirror matter, but an experimental signature, which will distinguish such events from the back...

A new class of visuomotor neuron has been recently discovered in the monkey's premotor cortex: mirror neurons. These neurons respond both when a particular action is performed by the recorded monkey and when the same action, performed by another individual, is observed. Mirror neurons appear to form a cortical system matching observation and execution of goal-related motor actions. Experimental...

Low-voltage cascode current mirrors are reviewed with respect to the design limitations imposed if all transistors in the mirror are required to operate in the saturation region. It is found that both a lower limit and an upper limit exist for the cascode transistor bias voltage. Further, the use of a signal dependent cascode bias voltage is discussed and a selfbiased cascode configuration is p...
