Neurons in the primary sensory regions of neocortex have heterogeneous response properties. The spatial arrangement of neurons with particular response properties is a key aspect of population representations and can shed light on how local circuits are wired. Here, we investigated how neurons with sensitivity to different kinematic features of whisker stimuli are distributed across local circu...

An accurate assessment of shoulder kinematics is useful for understanding healthy normal and pathological mechanics. Small variability in identifying and locating anatomical landmarks (ALs) has potential to affect reported shoulder kinematics. The objectives of this study were to quantify the effect of landmark location variability on scapular and humeral kinematic descriptions for multiple sub...

This article describes a method, based on surface-enhanced resonance Raman (SERR) spectroscopy, for studying the reaction dynamics of photoreceptors immobilized on metal electrodes. Time resolution and fresh sample conditions are achieved by synchronizing the rotational and translational motion of a novel kinematic electrode with the duration and time delay between the pump and probe events. Th...

beyond the standard model (SM) and SM backgrounds are carefully studied. We propose certain kinematic cuts to suppress the standard model backgrounds. For an integrated luminosity of 1 ab, we show that (a) γγ → ZZ can provide a test of gHγγ to the 3σ sensitivity of O(10 − 10) TeV at a 500 GeV ILC, and O(10) TeV at a 1 TeV ILC and a 3 TeV CLIC, and (b) γγ → WWWW at a 3 TeV CLIC can test all the ...

‘I’/& paper proposes technique for automaticall~ identifying and modeling the kinematic wwtminta of manipulated objects. The existence of wn.druints is established by examination of the forces and torques normal and tangential to the object’s motion. Constraints are modeled as joints tuith wnfigumtion and history dependent forca. To illustmte these concepts, seveml experimental examples are pre...

NW-tending faults in Central Iran are expected to represent dominant dextral components due to their orientation with respect to the northward motion of the Arabian Plate with respect to Eurasia. However, previously published works, as well as the focal mechanism solution of the area's earthquakes, indicate evidence of sinistral kinematic along the major faults in Central Iran. Here we present ...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to extract suitable spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters to determine how Total Knee Replacement (TKR) alters patients’ knee kinematics during gait, using a rapid and simplified quantitative two-dimensional gait analysis procedure. Methods: Two-dimensional kinematic gait pattern of 10 participants were collected before and after the TKR surgery,...

Introduction we aimed to introduce a 6-universal-prismatic-spherical (UPS) parallel mechanism for the human jaw motion and theoretically evaluate its kinematic problem. We proposed a strategy to provide a fast and accurate solution to the kinematic problem. The proposed strategy could accelerate the process of solution-finding for the direct kinematic problem by reducing the number of required ...
