Flexible delivery of Er:YAG radiation at 2.94 μm with novel hollow-core silica glass fibres
In this work we present the delivery of high energy Er:YAG laser pulses operating at 2.94 μm through a hollow-core negative curvature fibre (HC-NCF) and a hollow-core photonic crystal fibre (HC-PCF) and their use for the...
Flexible delivery of Er:YAG radiation at 2.94 μm with negative curvature silica glass fibers
We present the delivery of high energy microsecond pulses through a hollow-core negative-curvature fiber at 2.94 μm. The energy densities delivered far exceed those required for biological tissue manipulation and are of the...

Orientation control strategies and adaptation to a visuomotor perturbation in rotational hand movements.
Computational approaches to biological motor control are used to discover the building blocks of human motor behaviour. Models explaining features of human hand movements have been studied thoroughly, yet only a few studies...
Review of Rob Bryer, Accounting for Value in Marx’s Capital
Michael Broz
Apr 22, 2021
Marxism has found its home, in the academic world, in a variety of disciplines:economics, philosophy, sociology, and political science. An under-appreciatedarea is Marxist accounting. At first, this seems like a rather strange...

Jan 29, 2023
Cortical remapping after hand loss in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is thought to be predominantly dictated by cortical proximity, with adjacent body parts remapping into the deprived area. Traditionally, this remapping...
Wrist-driven passive grasping
Abstract: The structure of the human musculo-skeletal systems shows complex passive dynamic properties, critical for adaptive grasping and motions. Through wrist and arm actuation, these passive dynamic properties can be...
A high-resolution structure of the EF-hand domain of human polycystin-2.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects over 1:1000 of the worldwide population and is caused by mutations in two genes, PKD1 and PKD2. PKD2 encodes a 968-amino acid membrane spanning protein, Polycystin-2...

An anthropomorphic soft skeleton hand exploiting conditional models for piano playing.
The development of robotic manipulators and hands that show dexterity, adaptability, and subtle behavior comparable to human hands is an unsolved research challenge. In this article, we considered the passive dynamics of...
Bilateral Matching Decision-Making Method Considering Regret Avoidance in Second-Hand Transactions
Effective methods of bilateral matching decision-making could make the second-hand transaction market and platforms more dynamic and healthier for development. However, the loss of description about the characteristics of...
