MORE THAN FINGER COUNTING: SHARED RESOURCES BETWEEN FINGER TAPPING AND ARITHMETIC
… with particular focus on the relation between finger movements and addition. In addition, how bodily measures (e.g. handedness, finger counting habits, finger tapping ability) interact with cognitive measures (e.g. math ability, digit span, spatial ability) was investigated. The results provide …

The Design and Development of Artificial Zinc Finger Transcription Factors and Zinc Finger Nucleases to the hTERT Locus
… we describe the engineering of artificial zinc finger transcription factors (ZFTFs) and zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) to target sequences at the hTERT promoter. We first explored expansions to the repertoire of sites that can be targeted by ZFNs and modifications of ZFN architecture to …

Enhancing touch interactions with passive finger acoustics
… interacting with mobile devices through passive finger acoustics. Phone users typically use one of two fingers when interacting with a touchscreen device, leaving the other fingers idle. The motivation is that users can make use of their idle fingers to enhance the experience of an application. …

Vibration-induced white finger in dockyard employees
Vibration-induced white finger (VWF) is a vascular condition associated with occupational exposure to hand-transmitted vibration. The fingers are prone to intermittent blanching attacks which may be triggered by cold conditions and are usually accompanied by numbness and tingling or pain. VWF has …

Classification of finger gestures from myoelectric signals
Electromyographic signals may provide an important new class of user interface for consumer electronics. In order to make such interfaces effective, it will be crucial to map EMG signals to user gestures in real time. The mapping from signals to gestures will vary from user to user, so it must be …

Digital digits : designing assistive finger augmentation devices
… our innate physical capacities using technology. Finger-wearable devices for augmentation are nowadays part of the mainstream wearable fashion and research agenda, because of their uniquely convenient placement on the human body and proximity to the most expressive of limbs - the fingers. This …

Adaptive control for one-DOF finger rehabilitation robot
… the DC motor for one-DOF (Degree of Freedom) finger rehabilitation robot. Many different types of controllers are used to provide accurate positioning of the of the DC motor for the rehabilitation robot. One of the common used in controller system is proportional–integral–derivative controller …

STRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND FOLDING OF THREE FINGER TOXINS
Three finger toxins (3FTxs) are one of the family of peptides in snake venom. Despite the common protein fold, they exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. Our group characterized Oh9-1, a neurotoxin from venom of Ophiophagus hannah. Although Oh9-1 binds to the same acetylcholine binding pocket …

Finger joint impedance control applications to investigate spasticity
… the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of the index finger. The model was fit to approximately 25 milliseconds of force and displacement data to determine the mechanical impedances at the finger tip. Ranges of damping and stiffness were optimized over a range of mean finger tip force (0-12 N) for …

A study of reciprocating compressor finger valve dynamics
… this research effort was the construction of a finger valve dynamics model using simplified theory based on steady flow conditions. The analytical valve positions were then compared to experimental measurements from an Ingersoll Rand model 242 two-stage air compressor. Proximity probes were used …

Measurement of finger coordination during a motor learning task
… with real-time visual feedback of the five finger forces, subjects adapted their grasp strategy in order to reach the target in a time efficient manner. In early trials, it is very evident that subjects focus on controlling the force output of one finger at a time until they reach the goal. …

Enhanced Finger Movement Detection Using sEMG by Data Augmentation
… in muscles during contraction. Individual finger movement has not received much attention as a significant proportion of the current sEMG research targeting the hand has focused on gestures. Accurate classification of individual finger movements is essential for several applications …

Optimizing Zinc Finger Nucleases for Use in Mammalian Cells
… strand break within the target locus. Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs) are designed proteins that fuse a zinc finger DNA binding domain to the nuclease domain from the FokI restriction endonuclease and have been used to induce double strand breaks at precise sequences. Although ZFNs have been …

Studies of the MYM-type zinc finger protein ZMYM3
… factor, and ZMYM3, an MYM-type zinc finger protein of unknown function. By making several truncation mutants of ZMYM3, I show that a C-terminal region containing a ‘PXP’ repeat motif mediates its interaction with RNase H2, and that the PXP-containing proteins ZMYM2 and ZMYM4 interact …
