AIM As door handles represent a transmission route for viruses and micro-organisms, a door opening and closing mechanism should be developed without manual operation. METHOD To solve the problem, a device for opening the door with the help of a foot pedal was built into the door leaf. RESULTS The design enables mechanical opening of the door with a foot pedal without manual operation. Subse...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the components of door-to-balloon time among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. We assessed the role of time from hospital arrival to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction diagnosis (door-to-activation time) on door-to-balloon time in contemporary practice and evaluated factors tha...

In this research we try and implement communication system using the metaphor of a door on the World Wide Web (WWW) as a media for novel types of informal communications. We call those informal communications through a door ”on-door communications.” As an on-door communication system, we have designed and implemented a system for a chat at a net door. One has a door page on WWW and a chat syste...

Several recent studies have suggested that cues that predict outcomes elicit a feedback-related-like negativity (FRN-like negativity) reflecting initial appraisals of whether desired outcomes are probable. Some other studies, however, have found that the cues that predict outcomes elicited event-related potentials (ERPs) that reflect the expectation to outcomes (e.g., outcome expectations). Giv...
