Spine kinematic determination is required to T8 diagnose or rehabilitate back pain due to spinal instability.Ultrasound imaging, as a less harmful and cost-effective method, has been recently applied to kinematic analysis.This study reviews all available published articles to see how much progress has been made in spine kinematic measurement by ult
Optimization of slit density distribution in shoe upper made of warp knitting to optimize the contact pressure
A method for finding the optimum distribution of the slit density in a Pie Press shoe upper, such that the contact pressure with the foot approaches an ideal distribution is presented in this paper.In a shoe upper made of warp knitting, slits are made by discontinuously knitting the weft under a uniform arrangement of the warp fiber.In this study,
Network-Based Functional Prediction Augments Genetic Association To Predict Candidate Genes for Histamine Hypersensitivity in Mice
Genetic mapping is a primary tool of genetics in model organisms; however, many quantitative trait loci (QTL) contain tens or hundreds of positional candidate genes.Prioritizing these genes for validation is often ad hoc and biased by previous findings.Here we present a technique for prioritizing positional candidates based on computationally infer
Language of COVID-19: a Verbal & Visual Analysis of Humor Prevalent in Caricature Genre of Media Discourse
Languages continue to develop, modify, and reshape during unprecedented situations (Paton, 2020).Language fluidity and its flexible nature tend to be weapons in the hands of linguists and artists to cope with unprecedented difficult times.The current situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is posing significant socio-cultural challenges globally
