We describe a new control method for vibrationsbased planar manipulation. We’ve developed a device – the Universal Planar Manipulator (UPM) – based on a single, horizontally-vibrating plate. Though minimalist in construction (one moving part), the UPM can manipulate several parts on its surface in parallel, simply using friction. Previously, we’ve shown that a sequence of rigid plate rotations ...

La implantación de estándares es actualmente una necesidad de los usuarios de las plataformas de gestión de contenidos para, fundamentalmente, facilitar el aprovechamiento de los recursos, independientemente del sistema a emplear. Entre los estándares que hoy en día existen en el área de los contenidos formativos destaca la especificación SCORM. En este trabajo se describe como se ha completado...

Introduction: Computer vision syndrome is a complex of eye and vision problems related to near work experienced during computer use. A cross-sectional study was done to determine the prevalence of computer vision syndrome, knowledge and attitude on visual ergonomics among administrative staff in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). Material and Methods: Apre-tested, self-administered questionnaire ...

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of several well-categorized Salmonella serotypes recognized globally. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of S Typhimurium strain UPM 260, isolated from a broiler chicken.

To date, there is data paucity on canine vertebral fracture and luxation (VFL) in the local setting. Therefore, it was hypothesized that geographical location stray dog population would influence VFL cases University Veterinary Hospital, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UVH, UPM). This study aimed to describe incidence characteristics of dogs presented UVH, UPM. Medical records, including radiographi...

BACKGROUND Building on earlier work, the toxicity probability interval (TPI) method, we present a modified TPI (mTPI) design that is calibration-free for phase I trials. PURPOSE Our goal is to improve the trial conduct and provide more effective designs while maintaining the simplicity of the original TPI design. METHODS Like the TPI method, the mTPI consists of a practical dose-finding sch...

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is used as an antineoplastic agent in clinical tumor therapy. It has prompted much interest as an anticancer agent because it can replicate up to 10,000 times better in human cancer cells than in most normal cells. This study was carried out to determine the oncolytic potential of NDV strain AF2240 and V4-UPM on WEHI-3B leukemia cell line. Results from MTT cytotoxi...

The era of intelligent transportation with automated vehicles (AVs) is coming. Nonetheless, the transition to this system will be a gradual process. On one hand, some zones in city may dedicated AVs fully traffic management geared toward high performance. other and conventional have allowed drive remaining urban network stage. In paper, we consider situation where are deployed by taxi operating...

The analysis to detect arrhythmias and life-threatening conditions are highly essential in today world and this analysis can be accomplished by advanced non-linear processing methods for accurate analysis of the complex signals of heartbeat dynamics. In this perspective, recent developments in the field of multiscale information content have lead to the Microcanonical Multiscale Formalism (MMF)...

Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV), an avian paramyxovirus, is a highly contagious, generalised virus disease of domestic poultry and wild birds characterized by gastro-intestinal, respiratory and nervous signs. In this study, it was shown that NDV strain AF2240 and V4-UPM are cytolytic to Human Promyelocytic Leukemia, HL60 and Human T-lymphoblastic Leukemia, CEM-SS cells. Results from MTT cytolytic...
