Hoof accelerations and ground reaction forces of Thoroughbred racehorses measured on dirt, synthetic, and turf track surfaces.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To compare hoof acceleration and ground reaction force (GRF) data among dirt, synthetic, and turf surfaces in Thoroughbred racehorses. ANIMALS: 3 healthy Thoroughbred racehorses. PROCEDURES: Forelimb hoof accelerations and GRFs were ... Read more...

Sequential Monte Carlo point-process estimation of kinematics from neural spiking activity for brain-machine interfaces.

29 Sep 2009 Many decoding algorithms for brain machine interfaces' (BMIs) estimate hand movement from binned spike rates, which do not fully exploit the resolution contained in spike timing and may exclude rich neural dynamics from the modeling. More recently, ... Read more...

Postoperative changes in intraocular pressure and corneal biomechanical metrics Laser in situ keratomileusis versus laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) and corneal biomechanical metric changes after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis and laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK). SETTING: Private practice, St. Louis, Missouri, USA. METHODS: The ... Read more...
