Role of nervous system in fatal heart rhythm under study
...animal model and photographing the images at 1,000 frames per second, researchers have been able to see the small picture. These minute images of ventricular fibrillation have recently led to the discovery that the electrical activity during ventricular fibrillation forms distinct patterns. "The patterns a...UCSD laser technique sheds light on strokes
... the surface of the brain, the researchers snapped frames every second before and after the formation of the blood clot. They also measured blood flow in the arteries upstream and downstream of the clot. Remarkably, immediately following the formation of the clot, blood flow downstream of the clot reverse...Vol. 42, No. 5 JRRD tipsheet: Focus on spinal cord injury and prosthetics
...color choice, high production costs, and long time frames for patient tests and prosthesis production. Investigators analyzed various systems that automatically detect human skin color and assessed the possibility of introducing an automatic color detection system into the prosthetic production cycle. They ...Delivering online assistance to the needy
.... "What is important for two-way communications is frames per second ideally 24 when there is movement, the screen resolution of each picture, and speed to code," says Robinson. The partners also discovered that today's wireless networks are less than ideal for larger homes. "WiFi is inadequate for video t...Irrational decisions driven by emotions
...e presented with these choices under two different frames (i.e. scenarios), in which the sure option was worded either as the amount to be kept from the starting amount ("keep 20"), or the amount to be deducted ("lose 30"). The two options, although worded differently, would result in exactly the same outco...Physicians should be able to review performance rates before release
