THE UTILITY OF SYNTHETIC REFLEXES AND HAPTIC FEEDBACK FOR UPPER-LIMB PROSTHESES IN A DEXTEROUS TASK WITHOUT DIRECT VISION

The Utility of Synthetic Reflexes and Haptic Feedback for Upper-Limb Prostheses in a Dexterous Task Without Direct Vision

Individuals who use myoelectric upper-limb prostheses often rely heavily on vision to complete their daily activities.They thus struggle in situations where vision is overloaded, such as multitasking, or unavailable, such as poor lighting conditions.Non-disabled individuals can easily accomplish such tasks due to tactile reflexes and haptic sensati

Production of Phytotoxic Metabolite Using Biphasic Fermentation System from Strain C1136 of Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae, a Potential Bioherbicidal Agent

Formulation of effective and environmental friendly bioherbicides depends on the type of fermentation medium used for the production of phytotoxic metabolites.The effect of biomass, colony forming unit and the phytotoxic metabolite produced from the biphasic fermentation was carried out, while the phytotoxic metabolite was tested in vivo and in-vit
