Trunk movements in human locomotion.

Trunk movements in the frontal and sagittal planes were studied in 10 healthy males (18-35 yrs) during normal walking (1.0-2.5 m/s) and running (2.0-6.0 m/s) on a treadmill. Movements were recorded with a Selspot optoelectronic system. Directions, amplitudes and phase relationships to the stride cycle (defined by the leg movements) were analyzed for both linear and angular displacements. During one stride cycle the trunk displayed two oscillations in the vertical (mean net amplitude 2.5-9.5 cm) and horizontal, forward-backward directions (mean net amplitude 0.5-3 cm) and one oscillation in the lateral, side to side direction (mean net amplitude 2-6 cm). The magnitude and timing of the various oscillations varied in a different way with speed and mode of progression. Differences in amplitudes and timing of the movements at separate levels along the spine gave rise to angular oscillations with a similar periodicity as the linear displacements in both planes studied. The net angular trunk tilting in the frontal plane increased with speed from 3-10 degrees. The net forward-backward trunk inclination showed a small increase with speed up to 5 degrees in fast running. The mean forward inclination of the trunk increased from 6 degrees to about 13 degrees with speed. Peak inclination to one side occurred during the support phase of the leg on the same side. Peak forward inclination was reached at the initiation of the support phase in walking, whereas in running the peak inclination was in the opposite direction at this point. The adaptations of trunk movements to speed and mode of progression could be related to changing mechanical conditions and different demands on equilibrium control due to e.g. changes in support phase duration and leg movements.
Building enriched document representations using aggregated anchor text

It is well known that anchor text plays a critical role in a variety of search tasks performed over hypertextual domains, including enterprise search, wiki search, and web search. It is common practice to enrich a document's standard textual representation with all of the anchor text associated with its incoming hyperlinks. However, this approach does not help match relevant pages with very few inlinks. In this paper, we propose a method for overcoming anchor text sparsity by enriching document representations with anchor text that has been aggregated across the hyperlink graph. This aggregation mechanism acts to smooth, or diffuse, anchor text within a domain. We rigorously evaluate our proposed approach on a large web search test collection. Our results show the approach significantly improves retrieval effectiveness, especially for longer, more difficult queries.
Epilepsy & IQ: the clinical utility of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) indices in the neuropsychological assessment of people with epilepsy.

We examined Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) General Ability Index (GAI) and Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) discrepancies in 100 epilepsy patients; 44% had a significant GAI > FSIQ discrepancy. GAI-FSIQ discrepancies were correlated with the number of antiepileptic drugs taken and duration of epilepsy. Individual antiepileptic drugs differentially interfere with the expression of underlying intellectual ability in this group. FSIQ may significantly underestimate levels of general intellectual ability in people with epilepsy. Inaccurate representations of FSIQ due to selective impairments in working memory and reduced processing speed obscure the contextual interpretation of performance on other neuropsychological tests, and subtle localizing and lateralizing signs may be missed as a result.
A Low-Profile Dual-Polarized High-Isolation MIMO Antenna Arrays for Wideband Base-Station Applications

A low-profile dual-polarized high-isolation multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna array for wideband base-station applications is presented in this paper. The proposed dual-polarized antenna element has the advantage of lower profile ( $0.067\lambda $ ) by utilizing artificial magnetic conductor structure. The antenna array consisting of four elements is working within the frequency band from 2.4 to 3 GHz. Furthermore, decoupling branches among the elements are introduced to improve the isolation by about 10 dB. Both simulation and measured results indicate that the proposed dual-polarized antenna element has a good isolation over 28 dB. Moreover, the beamwidth of the antenna array can be effectively broadened by the adjustment of phase distributions of corresponding artificial material plane. Finally, a larger MIMO system is also investigated, and the simulation and measured results prove that dual-polarized dipole antenna MIMO array has good system performance.
An ankle-foot prosthesis emulator with control of plantarflexion and inversion-eversion torque

Ankle inversion-eversion compliance is an important feature of conventional prosthetic feet, and control of inversion, or roll, in robotic prostheses could improve balance for people with amputation. We designed a tethered ankle-foot prosthesis with two independently-actuated toes that are coordinated to provide plantarflexion and inversion-eversion torques. This configuration allows a simple lightweight structure with a total mass of 0.72 kg. Strain gages on the toes measure torque with less than 2.7% RMS error, while compliance in the Bowden cable tether provides series elasticity. Benchtop tests demonstrated a 90% rise time of less than 33 ms and peak torques of 180 N·m in plantarflexion and ±30 N·m in inversion-eversion. The phase-limited closedloop torque bandwidth is 20 Hz with a 90 N·m amplitude chirp in plantarflexion, and 24 Hz with a 20 N·m amplitude chirp in inversion-eversion. The system has low sensitivity to toe position disturbances at frequencies of up to 18 Hz. Walking trials with five values of constant inversion-eversion torque demonstrated RMS torque tracking errors of less than 3.7% in plantarflexion and less than 5.9% in inversion-eversion. These properties make the platform suitable for haptic rendering of virtual devices in experiments with humans, which may reveal strategies for improving balance or allow controlled comparisons of conventional prosthesis features. A similar morphology may be effective for autonomous devices.
The FIFA 11+ injury prevention program for soccer players: a systematic review

Soccer is one of the most widely played sports in the world. However, soccer players have an increased risk of lower limb injury. These injuries may be caused by both modifiable and non-modifiable factors, justifying the adoption of an injury prevention program such as the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) 11+. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the FIFA 11+ injury prevention program for soccer players.



This meta-analysis was based on the PRISMA 2015 protocol. A search using the keywords "FIFA," "injury prevention," and "football" found 183 articles in the PubMed, MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, and ScienceDirect databases. Of these, 6 studies were selected, all of which were randomized clinical trials.



The sample consisted of 6,344 players, comprising 3,307 (52%) in the intervention group and 3,037 (48%) in the control group. The FIFA 11+ program reduced injuries in soccer players by 30%, with an estimated relative risk of 0.70 (95% confidence interval, 0.52-0.93, p = 0.01). In the intervention group, 779 (24%) players had injuries, while in the control group, 1,219 (40%) players had injuries. However, this pattern was not homogeneous throughout the studies because of clinical and methodological differences in the samples. This study showed no publication bias.



The FIFA 11+ warm-up program reduced the risk of injury in soccer players by 30%.
Distribution, Extracellular Virulence Factors and Drug Resistance of Motile Aeromonads in Fresh Water Ornamental Fishes and Associated Carriage Water

During last decades there has been a continuous growth of aquaculture industries all over the world and taking into consideration the spurt in freshwater ornamental fish aquaculture and trade in Kerala, the present study was aimed to assess the prevalence of various motile Aeromonas spp. in fresh water ornamental fishes and associated carriage water. The extracellular virulence factors and the antibiogram of the isolates were also elucidated. Various species of motile aeromonads such as Aeromonas caviae, A. hydrophila, A. jandaei, A. schubertii, A. sobria, A. trota and A. veronii were detected. Aeromonas sobria predominated both fish and water samples. Extracellular enzymes and toxins produced by motile aeromonds are important elements of bacterial virulence. The production of extracellular virulence factors proteases, lipase, DNase and haemolysin by the isolates were studied. All the isolates from both fish and water samples produced gelatinase and nuclease but the ability to produce lipase, caseinase and haemolysins was found to vary among isolates from different sources. Among the 15 antibiotics to which the isolates were tested, all the isolates were found to be sensitive to chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin and resistant to amoxycillin. Local aquarists maintain the fish in crowded stressful conditions, which could trigger infections by the obligate/ opportunistic pathogenic members among motile aeromonads.

Medical Big Data Warehouse: Architecture and System Design, a Case Study: Improving Healthcare Resources Distribution

The huge increases in medical devices and clinical applications which generate enormous data have raised a big issue in managing, processing, and mining this massive amount of data. Indeed, traditional data warehousing frameworks can not be effective when managing the volume, variety, and velocity of current medical applications. As a result, several data warehouses face many issues over medical data and many challenges need to be addressed. New solutions have emerged and Hadoop is one of the best examples, it can be used to process these streams of medical data. However, without an efficient system design and architecture, these performances will not be significant and valuable for medical managers. In this paper, we provide a short review of the literature about research issues of traditional data warehouses and we present some important Hadoop-based data warehouses. In addition, a Hadoop-based architecture and a conceptual data model for designing medical Big Data warehouse are given. In our case study, we provide implementation detail of big data warehouse based on the proposed architecture and data model in the Apache Hadoop platform to ensure an optimal allocation of health resources.
Valence, arousal and dominance in the EEG during game play

In this paper, we describe our investigation of traces of naturally occurring emotions in electrical brain signals, that can be used to build interfaces that respond to our emotional state. This study confirms a number of known affective correlates in a realistic, uncontrolled environment for the emotions of valence (or pleasure), arousal and dominance: (1) a significant decrease in frontal power in the theta range is found for increasingly positive valence, (2) a significant frontal increase in power in the alpha range is associated with increasing emotional arousal, (3) a significant right posterior power increase in the delta range correlates with increasing arousal and (4) asymmetry in power in the lower alpha bands correlates with self-reported valence. Furthermore, asymmetry in the higher alpha bands correlates with self-reported dominance. These last two effects provide a simple measure for subjective feelings of pleasure and feelings of control.
Advancement in the head pose estimation via depth-based face spotting

Head pose estimation is not only a crucial preprocessing task in applications such as facial expression and face recognition, but also the core task for many others, e.g. gaze; driver focus of attention; head gesture recognitions. In real scenarios, the fine location and scale of a processed face patch should be consistently and automatically obtained. To this end, we propose a depth-based face spotting technique in which the face is cropped with respect to its depth data, and is modeled by its appearance features. By employing this technique, the localization rate was gained. additionally, by building a head pose estimator on top of it, we achieved more accurate pose estimates and better generalization capability. To estimate the head pose, we exploit Support Vector (SV) regressors to map Histogram of oriented Gradient (HoG) features extracted from the spotted face patches in both depth and RGB images to the head rotation angles. The developed pose estimator compared favorably to state-of-the-art approaches on two challenging DRGB databases.
Chirp images in 2-D fractional Fourier transform domain

Chirp signals are very common in radar, communication, sonar, and etc. Little is known about chirp images, i.e., 2-D chirp signals. In fact, such images frequently appear in optics and medical science. Newton's rings fringe pattern is a classical example of the images, which is widely used in optical metrology. It is known that the fractional Fourier transform(FRFT) is a convenient method for processing chirp signals. Furthermore, it can be extended to 2-D fractional Fourier transform for processing 2-D chirp signals. It is interesting to observe the chirp images in the 2-D fractional Fourier transform domain and extract some physical parameters hidden in the images. Besides that, in the FRFT domain, it is easy to separate the 2-D chirp signal from other signals to obtain the desired image.
The nature of extraversion: a genetical analysis.

A biometrical-genetical analysis of twin data to elucidate the determinants of variation in extraversion and its components, sociability and impulsiveness, revealed that both genetical and environmental factors contributed to variation in extraversion, to the variation and covariation of its component scales, and to the interaction between subjects and scales. A large environmental correlation between the scales suggested that environmental factors may predominate in determining the unitary nature of extraversion. The interaction between subjects and scales depended more on genetical factors, which suggests that the dual nature of extraversion has a strong genetical basis. A model assuming random mating, additive gene action, and specific environmental effects adequately describes the observed variation and covariation of sociability and impulsiveness. Possible evolutionary implications are discussed.
Collective cell migration: a mechanistic perspective.

Collective cell migration is fundamental to gaining insights into various important biological processes such as wound healing and cancer metastasis. In particular, recent in vitro studies and in silico simulations suggest that mechanics can explain the social behavior of multicellular clusters to a large extent with minimal knowledge of various cellular signaling pathways. These results suggest that a mechanistic perspective is necessary for a comprehensive and holistic understanding of collective cell migration, and this review aims to provide a broad overview of such a perspective.
Management of massive and nonmassive pulmonary embolism

Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is characterized by systemic hypotension (defined as a systolic arterial pressure < 90 mm Hg or a drop in systolic arterial pressure of at least 40 mm Hg for at least 15 min which is not caused by new onset arrhythmias) or shock (manifested by evidence of tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia, including an altered level of consciousness, oliguria, or cool, clammy extremities). Massive pulmonary embolism has a high mortality rate despite advances in diagnosis and therapy. A subgroup of patients with nonmassive PE who are hemodynamically stable but with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction or hypokinesis confirmed by echocardiography is classified as submassive PE. Their prognosis is different from that of others with non-massive PE and normal RV function. This article attempts to review the evidence-based risk stratification, diagnosis, initial stabilization, and management of massive and nonmassive pulmonary embolism.
Scalability features of the WNaN routing protocol

The Wireless Networking After Next (WNaN) radio is a handheld-sized radio that delivers unicast, multicast, and disruption-tolerant traffic in networks of hundreds of radios. This paper addresses scalability of the network from the routing control traffic point of view. Starting from a basic version of an existing mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) proactive link-state routing protocol, we describe the enhancements that were necessary to provide good performance in these conditions. We focus on techniques to reduce control traffic while maintaining route integrity. We present simulation results from 250-node mobile networks demonstrating the effectiveness of the routing mechanisms. Any MANET with design parameters and constraints similar to the WNaN radio will benefit from these improvements.
Recreating Virginity in Iran: Hymenoplasty as a Form of Resistance.

Hymenoplasty is a controversial surgery in Iran, where a woman's failure to present herself as virginal for marriage may result in severe social repercussions. Critical literature surrounding this clandestine surgery is sparse. During ethnographic fieldwork in Tehran, I interviewed women who have and have not undergone hymenoplasty and physicians who perform it. Using a Foucauldian framework, I argue that the medicalization of virginity is a form of female social control in Iran. The resulting narratives and discourses suggest that hymenoplasty is a covert form of resistance against socioculturally prescribed sexual inegalitarianism that restricts women to the social sphere of premarital chastity. By manipulating the medicalization of virginity, women inadvertently resist dichotomous gendered classifications that constrain them as either the deviant woman who has premarital sex or the normal woman who remains virginal until marriage. These women deviate from a fixed notion of gender embodiment, eroding socioculturally constituted categorical boundary markers regarding femininity.
AJANA: a general framework for source-code-level interprocedural dataflow analysis of AspectJ software

Aspect-oriented software presents new challenges for the designers of static analyses. Our work aims to establish systematic foundations for dataflow analysis of AspectJ software. We propose a control- and data-flow program representation for AspectJ programs, as basis for subsequent interprocedural dataflow analyses. The representation is built at the source code level and captures the semantic intricacies of various pointcut designators, multiple applicable advices per joint point, dynamic advices, and general flow of data to, from, and between advices. We also propose two dataflow analyses for AspectJ software: (1) a novel object effect analysis based on a flow- and context-sensitive must-alias analysis, and (2) a dependence analysis used for constructing the system dependence graph for slicing, refactoring, change impact analysis, etc. Both analyses are representative of a general category of dataflow analyses referred to as interprocedural distributed environment (IDE) problems. The two analyses are built on top of the proposed representation, and take into account the complex flow of control and data due to aspect-oriented features. We present a study of the proposed techniques on 37 program versions, using our Ajana analysis framework which is based on the abc AspectJ compiler. The results show that the representation can be built efficiently, that it is superior to an approach based on the woven bytecode, and that it enables analyses that are both faster and more precise. These findings strongly indicate that the proposed approach is a promising candidate for a foundation upon which various inter-procedural analyses for AspectJ can be designed and built.
Consider benign Müllerian papilloma: a rare cause of vaginal bleeding in children

Vaginal bleeding in young girls is a distressing symptom. Due to the potential for malignancy, thorough investigation is needed. Though rare, Müllerian papillomas are a benign cause of such symptoms. We report the case of a 2-year-old female who presented with acute onset of vaginal bleeding. She had another episode of bleeding during admission and was taken to the operating room for vaginoscopy under general anesthesia. A single friable lesion with active bleeding was visualized near the anterior vagina or cervix, which was biopsied. Histopathologic examination demonstrated characteristic features of benign Müllerian papilloma of infancy. Müllerian papillomas require examination under anesthesia and vaginoscopy with biopsies for efficient and accurate diagnosis. Treatment consists of complete local excision. Local recurrences are not uncommon, though prognosis for primary or recurrent disease is excellent.
Work-Function-Tuned TiN Metal Gate FDSOI Transistors for Subthreshold Operation

The effective work function of a reactively sputtered TiN metal gate is shown to be tunable from 4.30 to 4.65 eV. The effective work function decreases with nitrogen flow during reactive sputter deposition. Nitrogen annealing increases the effective work function and reduces Dit. Thinner TiN improves the variation in effective work function and reduces gate dielectric charge. Doping of the polysilicon above the TiN metal gate with B or P has negligible effect on the effective work function. The work-function-tuned TiN is integrated into ultralow-power fully depleted silicon-on-insulator CMOS transistors optimized for subthreshold operation at 0.3 V. The following performance metrics are achieved: 64-80-mV/dec subthreshold swing, PMOS/NMOS on-current ratio near 1, 71% reduction in Cgd, and 55% reduction in Vt variation when compared with conventional transistors, although significant short-channel effects are observed.
