HIGHLY ANTHROPOMORPHIC FINGER DESIGN WITH A NOVEL FRICTION CLUTCH FOR ACHIEVING HUMAN-LIKE REACH-AND-GRASP MOVEMENTS

Highly Anthropomorphic Finger Design With a Novel Friction Clutch for Achieving Human-Like Reach-and-Grasp Movements

In the design of prosthetic hand fingers, achieving human-like movement while meeting anthropomorphic demands such as appearance, size, and lightweight is quite challenging.Human finger movement involves two distinct motion characters during natural reach-and-grasp tasks: consistency in the reaching stage and adaptability in the grasping stage.The

Nomad Iconography on Tombstones from Luristan, Iran

In Luristan in western Iran the nomad cemeteries are scattered apparently at random across the landscape.The history of these nomads is not very well known, and until a few years ago they were themselves largely illiterate.They have lived in areas which comprise some of the very isolated mountain valleys and plains in the central Zagros mountains,

Clinical Study of NeuroRegen Scaffold Combined with Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Repair of Chronic Complete Spinal Cord Injury

Regeneration of damaged neurons and recovery of sensation and motor function after complete spinal cord injury (SCI) are challenging.We previously developed a collagen scaffold, NeuroRegen, to promote axonal growth along collagen fibers and 822 inhibit glial scar formation after SCI.When functionalized with multiple biomolecules, this scaffold prom
