Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers01:48

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

59.6K
Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.

Improving Translational Accuracy

15.2K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Unsymmetric Bending - Angle of Neutral Axis01:15

Unsymmetric Bending - Angle of Neutral Axis

898
Unsymmetrical bending occurs when a structural member is subjected to bending moments in a plane that does not align with the member's principal axes. This scenario typically arises in beams and other structural components when loads are applied at non-ideal angles, introducing complexities in stress analysis.
When a bending moment is applied at an angle θ concerning the vertical axis of a symmetrical member, it can be resolved into components along the member's principal...

Structural Classification of Joints01:20

Structural Classification of Joints

7.6K
Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...

Determination of Expected Frequency01:08

Determination of Expected Frequency

2.6K
Suppose one wants to test independence between the two variables of a contingency table. The values in the table constitute the observed frequencies of the dataset. But how does one determine the expected frequency of the dataset? One of the important assumptions is that the two variables are independent, which means the variables do not influence each other. For independent variables, the statistical probability of any event involving both variables is calculated by multiplying the individual...

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) enables in vivo white matter tract investigation.
  • Fiber orientation (FO) estimation is crucial for dMRI tract reconstruction.

  • Developed FORNI+, an objective function incorporating data fidelity, pairwise FO dissimilarity, and weighted L1-norm terms.
  • Jointly estimated FOs and dictionary mixture fractions using an iterative alternating optimization strategy.
  • Evaluated FORNI+ on simulation, physical, and real human brain dMRI data.

Main Results:

  • FORNI+ demonstrated superior FO estimation quality compared to existing methods.
  • Qualitative and quantitative evaluations showed improved reproducibility in real brain dMRI data.
