Mechanical Evidence for the Phylogenetic Origin of the Red Panda's False Thumb as an Adaptation to Arboreal Locomotion [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We constructed a modular, biomimetic red panda paw with which to experimentally investigate the evolutionary reason for the existence of the false thumbs of red pandas. These thumbs were once believed to have shared a common origin with the similar false thumbs of giant pandas; however, the discovery of a carnivorous fossil ancestor of the red panda ...

Thumb Stabilization and Assistance in a Robotic Hand Orthosis for Post-Stroke Hemiparesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We propose a dual-cable method of stabilizing the thumb in the context of a hand orthosis designed for individuals with upper extremity hemiparesis after stroke. This cable network adds opposition/reposition capabilities to the thumb, and increases the likelihood of forming a hand pose that can successfully manipulate objects.

Thumbnail strain during pressing and plucking of a string
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2015 Human fingernails play an important role in daily life and while playing instruments. We previously showed that the strain generated at the radial and ulnar parts of the nail was asymmetric when the thumb pad was pressed down on a flat surface.

A transient inflammatory response contributes to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in mice
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1985-1998, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose‐limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy.

Spectrally Limited Periodic Waveforms for HF OTHR Applications [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The problem of a constant modulus (CM) continuous wave (CW) waveform design with the thumb-tack ambiguity function that meets the NTIA RSEC requirements is addressed. The ad-hoc and alternating projection techniques are proposed to modify the spectrum of a prototype waveform to meet the NTIA RSEC requirements, retaining the "thumb-tack" property of the
