Assessment of a medical physics educational program for science teachers
Abstract Introduction Medical physics is a fulfilling profession where physics is applied to advance human health. However, many are uninformed of the role of physicists in medicine, and students are unaware of this career pathway. This study presents a pilot 1‐year program for science teachers to learn about physics in medicine and share with students

Electrostatic Brakes Enable Individual Joint Control of Underactuated, Highly Articulated Robots [PDF]
Highly articulated organisms serve as blueprints for incredibly dexterous mechanisms, but building similarly capable robotic counterparts has been hindered by the difficulties of developing electromechanical actuators with both the high strength and compactness of biological muscle.

HTNet: Human Topology Aware Network for 3D Human Pose Estimation [PDF]
3D human pose estimation errors would propagate along the human body topology and accumulate at the end joints of limbs. Inspired by the backtracking mechanism in automatic control systems, we design an Intra-Part Constraint module that utilizes the parent nodes as the reference to build topological constraints for end joints at the part level.

Fire retardant for expansion and linear joints in buildings and tunnels [PDF]
The review of fire-prevention barriers of deformation seams both foreign, and domestic manufacturers is provided in article. It is shown that the fire-prevention barriers which are specially developed for application in deformation seams, guaranteed working at compression, stretching and shift of a seam are applied to protection of deformation seams at

NON-PLANAR BEAM-WALL JOINTS IN TALL BUILDING STRUCTURES. [PDF]
Stress concentration and local deformation occur at both coplanar and non-planar beam–wall joints. However, over the years, only coplanar joints have been studied in detail. Very few studies on non-planar joints have been carried out and most designers still treat non-planar joints as hinges and neglect the possible coupling effect of beams connected ...

Abstract Objectives An increasing body of evidence indicates altered DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease, yet the reproducibility and utility of such methylation changes are largely unexplored. We aimed to further elucidate the role of dysregulated DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease and to evaluate the biomarker potential of methylation‐based ...
