Non-linear digital control of a McKibben muscle system
McKibben muscles are pneumatic actuators that have potential application in the rehabilitation of persons with physical impairments. These actuators have been known to exhibit similarities in human musculoskeletal systems. In order to better understand and improve the closed - loop control of these …

Identification of electrically stimulated muscle after stroke
… of a reliable model of electrically stimulated muscle. Motivated by this, this thesis focus on identification of electrically stimulated muscle, especially the impaired arm after stroke.<br/><br/>After studying the muscle behaviors and reviewing the existing muscle models, Hammerstein structure …

Generating anatomical substructures for physically-based facial animation.
… a skull, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS – a layer of fascia investing and interlinking the mimic muscle system), and mimic muscles for any given 3D face model. This is done toward (the goal of) a production-viable framework or rig-builder for physically-based facial …

Predicting molecular markers of development and regeneration through integrative analysis of high-throughput genomics data
… To identify novel non-coding RNA markers in a muscle system, a ncRNA prediction approach enabling the detection of longer ncRNAs was used to identify miRNA containing sites in the mouse genome. The use of EST data was determined to improve ncRNA prediction strategies during the development of …

Closed Loop Control of Muscle Contraction using Functional Electrical Stimulation
… Stimulation works by stimulating the atrophied muscle or group of muscles directly by current when the transmission lines between the central nervous system are disrupted. This technique helps maintain muscle mass and promote blood flow in the absence of a functioning nervous system. The goal of …

Non-lysosomal protein degrading systems in chicken skeletal muscle
… in protein degradation in chicken skeletal muscles, biochemical studies were conducted on components of these two systems as well as their potential endogenous and exogenous substrates. ATP- and ubiquitin-dependent breakdown of endogenous proteins (measured by tyrosine release) or exogenous …

Treatment of arthritis with tumour necrosis factor antagonists. Clinical, immunological and biochemical aspects
Abstract The treatment of arthritis has undergone a dramatic change since biological agents targeting specific mediators of the disease process have been introduced. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists have been shown to reduce signs and symptoms of disease and to retard the development of …
