Jerk is directly related to a physical mutation process of structural damage and human comfort. A fiber optic jerk sensor (FOJS) based on a fiber optic differentiating Mach–Zehnder interferometer is proposed. It can directly measure jerk by demodulating the phase of interference light, which avoids the high-frequency noise interference caused by ...

Dynamic heat flux experiments in Cu67.64Zn 16.71Al15.65: Separating the time scales of fast and ultra-slow kinetic processes in martensitic transformations [PDF]
Crackling noise and avalanches during the martensite phase transformation of Cu67.64Zn16.71Al15.65 were investigated. Heat flux measurements with extremely slow heating rates of 0.005 Kh -1 allowed sufficient separation between the continuous background ...

Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis of the Brainstem as a Clinical Entity. [PDF]
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare progressive neurological disorder of early adolescence caused by persistent infection of the measles virus, which remains prevalent worldwide despite an effective vaccine. SSPE is a devastating disease

Geomagnetic jerks and seismic activity
By means of a Monte Carlo simulation, we explored the extent to which large earthquakes may induce fluctuations on the secular variation of the Earth's magnetic field.

Myoclonic jerks secondary to piperacillin and nafcillin
A 66-year-old male receiving intravenous piperacillin and nafcillin for a post-surgical wound infection developed intermittent myoclonic jerks of all four extremities that disappeared after discontinuation of these two medications.

Acute Myoclonic Jerk Terminated by A Simple Procedure – A Case Report [PDF]
Myoclonic jerks are brief involuntary twitching of a muscle or a group of muscles. It is a medical sign and not a diagnosis of a disease. It occurs in number of secondary conditions like hepatic failure, renal failure, dyselectrolytaemia, etc in ...

Myoclonus and other jerky movement disorders
Myoclonus and other jerky movements form a large heterogeneous group of disorders. Clinical neurophysiology studies can have an important contribution to support diagnosis but also to gain insight in the pathophysiology of different kind of jerks.

Prolonged spinal myoclonus following spinal anaesthesia with bupivacaine
Spinal myoclonus occurring after spinal anaesthesia is very rare and characterised by sudden involuntary jerks of the back and limbs. A 34 year old male without any comorbidities underwent a subarachnoid block with bupivacaine heavy for laminectomy of L4-
