    摘要: Existing haptic-based simulation systems struggle to replicate a realistic experience for dental and dental hygiene students and clinicians. A realistic haptic-based simulator to train periodontal procedures. Realism is accomplished through three distinguished features: (1) a custom grip to attach dental instruments to the haptic device, which enhances the grip experience since learners feel the tactile properties of the instruments (rather than the haptic device stylus), (2) two haptic devices are utilized to simulate haptic feedback with both the dental instrument (dominant hand) and the mirror instrument (non-dominant hand), and (3) a finger support mechanism using parallel manipulation is used for the intraoral fulcrum during probing. The Haptic dental simulator system comprises software and hardware subsystems. The software subsystem comprises of two Graphical User Interface (GUI) windows: the configuration window where an instructor defines periodontal exercises for learners to practice with and a simulation window where periodontal exercises are displayed for learners to interact with. The hardware subsystem includes two haptic devices with grips having the real instruments, and the finger support device.

    摘要: The present application relates to an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector, comprising a muscle cell-specific promoter and a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AU-rich mRNA binding factor 1 (AUF1) protein or a functional fragment thereof, where the nucleic acid molecule is heterologous to and operatively coupled to the muscle cell-specific promoter. Also disclosed are compositions comprising the AAV vector, as well as methods of promoting muscle regeneration in injured muscle, a method of treating degenerative skeletal muscle loss in a subject, methods of preventing traumatic muscle injury in a subject such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, methods of treating traumatic muscle injury in a subject, and methods of treating muscle loss due to aging in a subject.

    摘要: An exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium for assigning a plurality of tasks to a plurality of computing nodes can include, for example, receiving first information related to the computing nodes, where the first information can include a number of cores in each of the computing nodes, generating second information by separating the number of cores in each of the computing nodes, and assigning the tasks to the computing nodes based on the second information. The first information can further include (i) a distance of a network connection between each of the computer nodes, and (ii) a bandwidth of the network connection. The second information can be generated based on the tasks. The second information can be generated based on a number of dimensions of the tasks. The tasks can be assigned based on a minimization of a number of communications between the nodes.
