Feedback to the smooth muscle effectors is provided by tension-dependent currents from MACs, consisting mainly of K/sup +/ efflux. Smooth muscles respond to depolarizing K/sup +/ currents by contraction. The model shows the ability of vascular beds to autoregulate flow in the presence of changing arterial pressures.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":159783,"journal":{"name":"1993 IEEE Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125156663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wavelet approach automatically computes the critical time-slices at which the dipole sources are localized.

As a result, the EEG can be closely reconstructed using the parameters at each computed time-slice. In addition, the multiresolution framework of the wavelet transform provides a mathematical zoom lens which enables one to select major electrical sources at courser scale levels, and to observe the details at finer scale levels.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":159783,"journal":{"name":"1993 IEEE Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121551020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tests to measure energy efficiency are often time consuming or require expensive metabolic equipment. Therefore, it has been assumed that lighter designs are better than heavier ones. However, simple measures such as maximum ambulation time have been shown to be useful for determining functional status in clinical populations. In the study described, a 1-lb weight was attached to the ankle to simulate prosthetic design changes: specifically, to manipulate weight asymmetry between legs. Normal controls and amputees were analyzed with and without added weight during a maximum ambulation time test and during walking on a treadmill. In addition to metabolic data, kinematic data were analyzed to obtain biomechanical gait parameters.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":159783,"journal":{"name":"1993 IEEE Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125498222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
