The coronavirus pandemic has changed the world everywhere, including the lives of high schoolers in America.The sudden sharp rise in coronavirus cases forced the closure of schools in Mid-March to curb the further spread of the virus.Several end-of-the-year celebrations, school activities, and examinations were canceled.At the same time, the cancel

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
