Pen-drawn Marangoni swimmer

Abstract Pen-drawing is an intuitive, convenient, and creative fabrication method for delivering emergent and adaptive design to real devices.To demonstrate the application of pen-drawing to robot construction, we developed pen-drawn Marangoni swimmers that perform complex programmed tasks using a simple and accessible saddle accessorie manufacturi

P2X3 receptors mediate visceral hypersensitivity during acute chemically-induced colitis and in the post-inflammatory phase via different mechanisms of sensitization.

ObjectivesExperiments using P2X3 knock-out mice or more notepad general P2X receptor antagonists suggest that P2X3 receptors contribute to visceral hypersensitivity.We aimed to investigate the effect of the selective P2X3 antagonist A-317491 on visceral sensitivity under physiological conditions, during acute colitis and in the post-inflammatory ph

EMG-Based Continuous Estimation of Index Finger Movements With Varying Interjoint Coordination Patterns by Modeling Musculoskeletal Dynamics

Surface electromyography (EMG) is widely used for predicting kinematics of intended finger movements in applications including teleoperation.Generally, ‘black-box’ models with high complexity such as neural networks (NN) were used to improve prediction accuracy, which may not reproduce other important movement characteristics such as
