Abstract The objective of this research was to determine the bioactive properties released peptides from commercially available precook common beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris ). Bioactive and peptide profiles were evaluated in protein hydrolysates raw precooked beans. Five varieties (Black, Pinto, Red, Navy, Great Northern) selected for extraction, molecular mass profiles, sequences. Potential bioactivities hydrolysates, including antioxidant capacity inhibition α ‐amylase, ‐glucosidase,...
An inertial sensor-embedded virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display, the Oculus Rift (the Rift), monitors head movement so content displayed can be updated accordingly. While may have potential use in cervical spine biomechanics studies, its accuracy terms of mobility measurement has not yet been validated. In current study, a VR environment was designed to guide participants perform prescribed neck movements. The kinematics measured by both and reference motion tracking system. Comparison...
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect button size and spacing on touch characteristics (forces, impulses, dwell times) during a digit entry screen task. A secondary objective disability characteristics. Background: Touch screens are common in public settings workplaces. Although research has examined performance, is unknown. Method: total 52 participants ( n = 23, fine motor control disability; 14, gross 15, no disability) completed Button sizes varied from 10 mm 30...
This study examined how individuals with and without neck pain performed exercises under the influence of altered visual feedback in virtual reality. Chronic (n=9) asymptomatic (n=10) were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Participants head rotations while receiving programmatically manipulated from a head-mounted reality display. The main outcome measure was control-display gain (ratio between actual rotation angle displayed) recorded at just-noticeable difference. Actual angles...
Research has identified barriers and facilitators affecting cancer survivors' return to work (RTW) following the end of active treatment (surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy). However, few studies have focused on that survivors experience while working during treatment. Strategies used by solve work-related problems are underexplored.The aim this study was describe factors impact, either positively or negatively, breast activities treatment.Semi-structured, recorded interviews...
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect sitting and standing on performance touch characteristics during a digit entry screen task in individuals with without motor-control disabilities. Background: Previously, researchers design have not considered posture (sitting vs. standing) (accuracy timing) (force impulse). Method: Participants disabilities ( n = 15) completed four-digit number both postures. Button sizes varied from 10 mm 30 (5-mm increments), button gap 3 or 5...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are devastating neurodegenerative diseases involving the progressive degeneration of neurons. No cure is available for patients diagnosed with these diseases. A prominent feature both ALS PD accumulation protein inclusions in cytoplasm degenerating neurons; however, particular proteins constituting vary: RNA-binding TDP-43 FUS most notable ALS, while α-synuclein aggregates into Lewy bodies PD. In diseases, genetic causes fail...
Heterogeneous integration technology makes possible the of multiple separately manufactured components into a single higher level assembly with enhanced functionality and improved operating characteristics. Various types advanced heterogeneous packages are available, including 2.5-D integrated circuit (IC), fan-out chip on substrate (FOCoS) chip-first, FOCoS chip-last. This study constructs nonlinear simulation technique (3-D model) to explore warpage, extreme low-<inline-formula> <tex-math...
When students fund their education through loans, changes in student borrowing and tuition are interlinked. Higher costs raise loan demand, but supply also affects equilibrium — for example, by relaxing students’ funding constraints. To resolve this simultaneity problem, we exploit detailed student-level financial data federal aid programs to identify the impact of increased on tuition. We find that institutions more exposed subsidized program disproportionately around these policy changes,...
Mammalian cortical expansion is tightly controlled by fine-tuning of proliferation and differentiation neural progenitors in a region-specific manner. How extrinsic cues interface with cell-intrinsic programs to balance proliferative versus neurogenic decisions remains an unsolved question. We examined the function Semaphorin receptors Plexin-B1 -B2 corticogenesis generating double mutants, whereby Plexin-B2 was conditionally ablated developing brain null mutant background. Absence both...
Glass interposer substrates have attracted growing interest as an alternative to traditional organic and silicon-based interposers for 3-D integrated circuit (IC) 2.5-D through silicon via (TSV) packages in recent years. However, while glass the advantages of excellent electrical isolation, superior RF performance, good coefficient thermal expansion (CTE) adjustability, potential large-scale fabrication, they are inherently brittle. Consequently, appropriate choice epoxy molding compound...
<title>Abstract</title> Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease causing motoneuron dysfunction, muscle weakness and early mortality<sup>1,2</sup>. Three therapies can slow progression enabling people to survive albeit with lingering dysfunction severe motor impairments<sup>3,4</sup>. Here we introduce a neurotechnological approach that improved spinal function, strength walking in three adults SMA. Starting from preclinical evidence showing SMA originates the...
Socioeconomic status (SES) and race/ethnicity have been associated with the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Certain aspects graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) management, such as need for long-term care, prolonged immunosuppressive treatment, close follow-up complications, may exacerbate disparities. Adults (≥18 years) reported to Center International Blood Marrow Transplant Research who underwent a first allo-HCT acute leukemia, myelodysplastic...
Objective: This study was a proof of concept for virtual exertions, novel method that involves the use body tracking and electromyography grasping moving projections objects in reality (VR). The user views his or her hands during rehearsed co-contractions same agonist-antagonist muscles normally used desired activities to suggest exerting forces. Background: Unlike physical objects, are images lack mass. There is currently no practical physically demanding way interact with simulate...
Objectives Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is often described as a benign disease. However, the natural progression of dysplasia and transformation to squamous cell carcinoma has not been elucidated for RRP. This study delineates our extensive experience with in Study Design/Setting Case series chart review. Subjects Methods Demographic data surgical pathology were analyzed patients diagnosed RRP at greater than 18 years age who underwent operative intervention without cidofovir...
Objective To investigate the effect of gender transfer in virtual reality on implicit bias. Background Gender bias is a type discrimination based gender, which can lead to increased self-doubt and decreased self-esteem. Sexual harassment hostile form that cause anxiety, depression, significant mental health issues. Virtual (VR) has been employed help make people become aware their biases change attitudes regarding race, age. Methods Forty participants were embodied avatars different genders...
Objective: In this study, we compared how users locate physical and equivalent three-dimensional images of virtual objects in a cave automatic environment (CAVE) using the hand to examine human performance (accuracy, time, approach) is affected by object size, location, distance. Background: Virtual reality (VR) offers promise flexibly simulate arbitrary environments for studying performance. Previously, VR researchers primarily considered differences between distance estimation rather than...
