Recent studies on the physical interaction between humans have revealed their ability to read the partner's motion plan and use it to improve one's own control. Inspired by these results, we develop an intention assimilation controller (IAC) that enables a contact robot to estimate the human's virtual target from the i…

The dentato-rubro-olivary pathway, also known as the Guillain-Mollaret triangle (GMT) or myoclonic triangle, consists of the dentate nucleus, the red nucleus, and the inferior olivary nucleus (ION). GMT is important for motor coordination and control, and abnormalities in this network can lead to various neurological d…

P-values are often calculated when testing hypotheses in quantitative settings, and low P-values are typically used as evidential measures to support research findings in published medical research. This article reviews old and new arguments questioning the evidential value of P-values. Critiques of the P-value include…

In order to become knowledgeable consumers of nursing research, nursing students must be able to critically read research and determine the study's value for nursing practice. As the number of nursing intervention studies rises and research topics are studied more extensively, the use of meta-analysis in the discipline…

A histopathologic analysis of regional lymph node specimens in 48 patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx was performed to determine which parameters, if any, correlated with 3-year patient survival. The presence of sinus histiocytosis in lymph nodes containing metastatic squamous cell…

To use a visualized method, tipping-point analysis to address missing data in clinical study and discuss related problems. All the possible outcomes caused by missing data were listed and the tipping points where-values of hypothesis test changed at 0.05 significant level were found out, then the ratio of<0.05 was calc…

A preliminary experimental study was conducted among 322 high school students in the Amazon region of Brazil to determine whether locally-trained teachers (high similarity/low expertise) or outside nutrition experts (high expertise/low similarity) would more effectively influence food choice attitudes and behavior. Sub…

As the number of college students infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has increased significantly in China, the risk of occupational exposure to HIV among healthcare workers (HCW) in college campus clinics has also increased. Our study aimed to evaluate the awareness of HCWs in terms of preventing occu…

This study's goal was to evaluate the pilot exclusive lane for motorcycles (Motov&#xed;a) in Cali, Colombia, from the perception of its users in 2012-2013. A cross-sectional study using roadside surveys plus a qualitative component of individual semi-structured interviews was carried out. Road users' perceptions were i…

The main objective of this research is to examine whether the implementation of new human resource management practices (NHRM) can enhance innovative performance (IP) by fostering innovation capability (NC). Additionally, it examines the moderating influence of an innovative climate (IC) and its associated attributes o…

A national survey conducted in 2002 concluded that the sexual knowledge of Canadian students was lower then than it was in 1989 (when the last such study was conducted). The study also found that attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS had improved somewhat over the same period. However, the study identified some…

We overwhelmingly utilize (partially) informed consent for, and debriefing of, human research participants. Also common is the practice of reconsent, particularly where changes in study protocols (or in participants themselves) occur midstream - participants consent again to remaining in the project or to having their…

PURPOSES: To study retinal S-antigen expression in human retinoblastoma and assess if there is a correlation between S-antigen immunoactivity and degree of retinoblastoma cell differentiations. METHODS: Ten cases of Chinese retinoblastoma parafin-embedded tissues were applied for this study. A strain of monoclonal ant…

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback can train subjects to control their brain activity with real-time processing and high spatial resolution, as many advances in MRI data acquisition methods, computer hardware, and processing algorithms have improved the sensitivity and speed of fMRI neurofeedbac…

In the early 1990s, a combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin was widely adopted to treat advanced gastric cancer; however, no survival advantage over single-agent 5-FU was confirmed by the results of randomized trials conducted over a long period. Recently developed agents such as irinotecan, taxanes (docet…

Of 76 clients receiving 8-20 sessions of cognitive therapy (CT) in a joint university and a national health service clinic, 31 experienced sudden gains that appeared very similar to those first reported in clinical trials of CT by T. Z. Tang and R. J. DeRubeis (1999) and subsequently replicated in other studies. The su…

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to evaluate the performance of a pelvic restraint cushion (PRC), a submarining countermeasure that deploys under the thighs when a crash is detected in order to block the forward motion of the pelvis. METHODS: Sled tests approximating low- and high-speed frontal impacts were conducte…
