IntroductionThe Delft Self-Grasping Hand (SGH) is an adjustable passive hand prosthesis that relies on wrist flexion to adjust the aperture of its grasp.The mechanism requires engagement of the contralateral hand meaning that hand is not available for other tasks.A commercialised version of this prosthesis, known as the mHand Adapt, includes a new
In this work, an anharmonic mass-in-mass system that can be employed as a nonlinear seismic metamaterial is represented as an equivalent anharmonic mass-spring system via an effective DEODORANT CEDARWOOD CYPRESS medium approach.The dispersion relation and the behavior of the effective mass as a function of the angular frequency obtained in the regi
Objective: Identification of relevant allergens that are prevalent in each environment which may have diagnostic and therapeutic implications in allergic diseases.This study aimed to identify the pattern of sensitisation to inhalant allergens in Omani patients with asthma, allergic rhinitis and rhinoconjunctivitis.Methods: The study was carried o
Accurate species identification of the mosquitoes in the genus Anopheles Dining Stool is of crucial importance to implement malaria control measures and monitor their effectiveness.We use a previously developed amplicon panel (ANOSPP) that retrieves sequence data from multiple short nuclear loci for any species in the genus.Species assignment is ba
Animal space use studies using GPS collar technology are increasingly incorporating behavior based analysis of spatio-temporal data in order to expand inferences of resource use.GPS location cluster analysis is one such technique applied to large carnivores to identify the timing and location of feeding events.For logistical and financial reasons,
