TASK DEPENDENCY OF GRIP STIFFNESS--A STUDY OF HUMAN GRIP FORCE AND GRIP STIFFNESS DEPENDENCY DURING TWO DIFFERENT TASKS WITH SAME GRIP FORCES.

Task dependency of grip stiffness--a study of human grip force and grip stiffness dependency during two different tasks with same grip forces.

It is widely known that the pinch-grip forces of the human hand are linearly related to the weight of the grasped object.Less is known about the relationship between grip force and grip stiffness.We set out to determine variations to these Cleaner dependencies in different tasks with and without visual feedback.In two different settings, subjects w

One-Step or Two-Step Acid/Alkaline Pretreatments to Improve Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Sugar Recovery from Arundo Donax L.

Energy crops are not easily converted by microorganisms because of their recalcitrance.This necessitates a pretreatment to improve their biodigestibility.The effects of different pretreatments, as well as their combination on the enzymatic digestibility of Arundo donax L.were systematically investigated to evaluate its potential for bioconversion.D

Measurement of Entrance Surface Dose on an Anthropomorphic Thorax Phantom Using a Miniature Fiber-Optic Dosimeter

A miniature fiber-optic dosimeter (FOD) system was fabricated using a plastic scintillating fiber, a plastic optical fiber, and a multi-pixel photon counter Bond remover to measure real-time entrance surface dose (ESD) during radiation diagnosis.Under varying exposure parameters of a digital radiography (DR) system, we measured the scintillating li
