Neural Correlates of Reach Planning and Execution
… other primates often interact with the world by reaching and grabbing objects with their hands. This seemingly simple activity is a challenging computational problem that requires the nervous system to transform sensory input into muscle activations that move the hand appropriately through space. …

Lengthening the timescale reach of molecular dynamics
… dynamics of biological systems. The timescale reach of the molecular dynamics tool is limited by how fast femtosecond timesteps can be sequentially integrated; today's fast computers allow simulation speeds of tens of nanoseconds of simulation time per day, which typically limits simulation …

Northern Reach: Architecture of a Thawing Arctic
… climate shifts. The proposal for the Northern Reach interrogates and responds: How are we best equipped to live and work in a rapidly changing measure of extremes? What imbues an architecture with a sense of place when that place is inherently mercurial?

Effective Methods to Reach Victims of Domestic Violence
… This study explored a variety of methods to reach victims of domestic violence. To provide a basic understanding of domestic violence in the United States is presented, various definitions of domestic violence are discussed and the history of domestic violence in the United States is …

When Trying to Reach Zombies and Other Stories
<p><em>When Trying to Reach Zombies and Other Stories</em> is a collection of nine short stories and a novella that focuses on Christian speculative fiction. The collection uses the themes and images from Christianity and the tools of speculative fiction to tell stories. In “When Trying to Reach …

Extending the reach of anterior segment ophthalmic imaging
… easily scalable solution would help extend the reach of anterior segment examination to extremely resource constrained settings, such as mass-screening camps, mobile ophthalmology clinics, war zones etc. On the other end, we propose purely solid-state instrumentation that employs programmable …

Increasing the Reach, Usage, and Impact of Scholarly Content
… channel, TrendMD, could be used to augment the reach, usage, and impact of published peer-reviewed content. We conducted four experimental studies. The first study was a 6-week randomized controlled trial where we found that TrendMD conferred an 87% visibility advantage relative to control …

The effect of extended reach on manual arm strength
… between arm lengths less than 80% of maximum reach. Much fewer MAS data exist for when the arm is fully extended or even extended past the natural arm length via scapular movement. This thesis conducted a laboratory study evaluating how extended reach affects MAS across several force …

Motor planning for reach memorization task in 3D space
Arm reaching towards remembered targets in three-dimensional space was analyzed. The aim of the project was to test whether various amounts of visual feedback, in combination with constant forces applied to the arm during reaching would affect the magnitude and direction of the reaching errors. The …

Burst-mode electronic dispersion compensation in long reach PONs
Long reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs), which integrate fibre-to-the-home with metro networks, have been the subject of intensive research in recent years and are considered one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of optical access networks. Such systems ideally have …

Dynamically reconfigurable long-reach PONs for high capacity access
… This approach prompted the design of a long-reach passive optical network (LR-PON) in which the physical reach and split of a conventional PON is significantly increased through the use of intermediate optical amplification. In particular, the LR-PON architecture effectively integrates the …

Democratizing global tourism or designing diversity to reach harmony
The largest lake in the Balkans, the largest bird "airport" in Europe, multinational, protected under the Ramsar Convention, a candidate for the UNESCO transboundary biosphere enlisting, the Skadar Lake is yet, economically speaking, an "in between" region of Montenegro. The Skadar Lake is the size …
