Devices employed in electrical policing rely on fundamental responses of nerve and muscle to supraphysiologic current to quell disruptive behavior. Whilst widely deployed the use of neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI) remains controversial, in part, due to gaps in understanding of the underlying mechanisms related to injury. NMI device manufacturers are thus constrained by empirical evidence for safety...
This work illustrates new tools and methods for an in vivo and direct, but non-invasive, measurement of an octopus arm mechanical properties. The active elongation (longitudinal stretch) and the pulling force capability are measured on a specimen of Octopus vulgaris in order to quantitatively characterize the parameters describing the arm mechanics, for biomimetic design purposes. The novel approach...
The objective of this study is to validate two-dimensional (2D) myocardial elastography estimates in canine hearts in vivo against direct sonomicrometry measurements at variable levels of myocardial ischemia induced by the occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Two-dimensional myocardial elastography comprised transmural: 1) 2D (lateral and axial) displacements using 1D cross-correlation...
