A study of the use of combined thermal and microwave modelling of body regions for microwave thermography
Microwave thermography has been used for the objective assessment of inflammation in the knee joints and wrist and finger joints of patients suffering with rheumatoid arthritis by comparison with similar information obtained from a control group of subjects. Combined microwave and thermal modelling …

Role of basic fibroblast growth factor in the development of sensitization to the effects of amphetamine
… that neuroadaptations initiated in the cell body region of midbrain dopaminergic neurons and dependent on glutamatergic transmission underlie its development. In this thesis, the hypothesis that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a neurotrophic factor produced by astrocytes, plays a …

Chemosensory gene expression analysis in the argentine ant, linepithema humile
… that OrA and OrB were expressed throughout the body. The newly available genome sequence was used to manually build additional Or gene models to test in RT-PCR. OBP and opsin genes were also tested in the RT-PCR to serve as positive and negative controls. The RT-PCR results were unclear; …

The Importance of the Multicomponent Display in Sexual Selection of Black Morph Girardinus metallicus (Pisces: Poeciliidae)
… posterior dorsal, posterior ventral, and caudal body regions, from digital images of the same males obtained without using anesthetic and anesthetized using tricaine methane sulfonate (MS222) and eugenol (clove oil). Because multicomponent displays are intriguing with respect to sexual selection, …

Taxonomic, ecological and quantitative examination of chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) on Canada geese (Branta canadensis) and mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) in Manitoba, Canada
… and Ornithobius were observed in several body regions and Trinoton was found most often on the wings of mallards.

Finite element simulation of the human body in vehicle side impact
… a computer-simulated model of the human body using the finite element technique. Fundamental research has been conducted in the past to investigate the biomechanical impact responses of the human body subjected to lateral impact. For obvious reasons, tests exceeding injury levels are not …

From Systemic to Regional: Personal Health and Medical Monitoring Systems that Adapt to Individual Variance
… lacking detailed information on specific local body regions. In addition, individual patient health conditions are diverse and often complex. Thus, traditional sensing techniques, while effective for the broader population, often do not meet the unique needs of specific patient groups, …

Ecology and population structure of vibrionaceae in the coastal ocean
… generalist with regard to seasons, host taxa and body regions. High variability across host individuals, consistent with a scenario of stochastic clonal expansion, was especially pronounced in crab and zooplankton samples. Specialization, demonstrated by specific and reproducible association with …

Agreement in the Army's Circumference Measurements and Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
… tables were put forth to evaluate soldiers’ body fat percentages and screen for overweight individuals. However, few studies have examined the agreement in body composition estimates between the Army’s circumference measurements and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The purpose of this …

Protozoan, helminth and arthropod parasites of the gray squirrel in southwestern Virginia
… areas of those squirrels were calculated by body regions so that parasite densities could be determined. The results showed the highest densities generally occurred on the back, followed by legs, underparts, bead and tail. Parasite densities were generally greater on males. The preferences by …

DEVELOPMENT OF SIMILARITY SCORING TECHNIQUES FOR MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH COMPARISONS
… airbags reduce injury severity for specific body regions in real-world motor vehicle crashes. Mahalanobis scoring revealed that NASS-CDS cases were most similar to FMVSS 214 crash tests and were least similar to IIHS frontal crash tests. Overall, this work provided novel methods for …

Injury surveillance in community cricket and the exploration of insurance claims systems
… sprains and strains. The most common body regions requiring hospital attendance were the wrist/hand and head. The majority of hospital-treated injuries were due to being struck by the ball. The majority of prospectively collected injury data involved junior and/or adolescent players …

Development of a Computationally Efficient Full Human Body Finite Element Model
… vehicle crash safety. FEA models of the human body have the potential to greatly enhance the volume of biomechanically relevant data obtained from crash simulations. The Global Human Body Models Consortium (GHBMC) is an international consortium of industry, government, and academic research …

An Investigation into the Solutions for Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders in the Hairdressing Industry.
… between working postures and WMSDs in various body regions is discussed. In this regard, poor posture and movement can lead to local mechanical stress on the muscles, ligaments and joints, resulting in discomfort in the musculoskeletal system, particularly the neck, back, shoulder and wrist. …

Incidence of musculoskeletal problems among instrumental music students
… (ache, pain, or discomfort) across nine body regions. These reults were analysed in relation to gender and type of instrument played. 91% of participants (90% female and 91% of males) reported problems at one or more times in at least one region during the previous 12 months. The regions …

Impact of relocation on dairy cows
… visible and 4 = heavy plaques of manure on 3 body regions: udder, lower leg, and flank/upper leg. In experiment two, milking parlor behaviors observed were cow reactivity (REACT), latency to enter the parlor (LAT), and plasma cortisol (CORT). REACT was evaluated on a numeric scale (0 = ideal …
