Parietal Lobe Reorganization and Widespread Functional Connectivity Integration in Upper-Limb Amputees: A rs-fMRI Study

The right parietal lobe plays an important role in body image, and disorders of body image emerge after lesions in the parietal lobe or with parietal lobe epilepsy.Body image disorder also often accompanies upper-limb amputation, in which the patient misperceives that their missing limb is still part of their body.Cortical reorganization is known t

Tunable characteristics of low-frequency bandgaps in two-dimensional multivibrator phononic crystal plates under prestrain

Abstract In view of the influence of variability of low-frequency noise frequency on noise prevention in real life, we Lounge Bottoms present a novel two-dimensional tunable phononic crystal plate which is consisted of lead columns deposited in a silicone rubber plate with periodic holes and calculate its bandgap characteristics by finite element m

Effect of the Location of Strut Chordae Insertion on Computational Modeling and Biomechanical Evaluation of Mitral Valve Dynamics

The strut chordae (SC) have a unique structure and play an important role in reinforcing the tunnel-shaped configuration of the mitral valve (MV) at the inflow and outflow tracts.We investigated the effect of varying the SC insertion location on normal MV function and dynamics to better Lip Crayon understand the complex MV structures.A virtual para
