Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the Gram-negative bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei.The organism is a soil saprophyte and humans acquire infection via percutaneous inoculation through a breach in the skin.Inhalation of the organism is also a probable route of transmission as evident by a high incidence during the rainy season.Outbre
The paper examines the ease of use of a mechatronic system by children aged 7-12+ years living in the area of Thessaloniki.The research was conducted on students who participated in educational SAM-e robotics seminars and as the results show, the trainees consider a mechatronic system very easy to use.The study concluded that older boys in particul
Abstract Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that can noninvasively modulate neural states in a targeted brain region.As cerebellar activity levels are associated with upper limb motor improvement after stroke, the cerebellum is a plausible target of tDCS.However, the effect of tDCS remains unclear.Here, we desi
Combining research areas of biomechanics and pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) provides a very promising way for pedestrian positioning in environments where Global Positioning System (GPS) signals are degraded or unavailable.In recent years, the PDR systems based on a smartphone’s built-in inertial sensors have attracted much attention in such
The palatal Miscellaneous anatomy of ichthyosauriforms remains largely unknown.Here, the complete palate of the early-branching ichthyosauriform Chaohusaurus brevifemoralis is reconstructed and described for the first time with the assistance of high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning on the basis of the three-dimensionally preserve
