A strategy for optimizing the design of a new type of wrist force sensor is presented. The
design variables are the geometric sizes of the elastic sensor body, with sliding and rotating …

This paper presents a new application of failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) on
design processes. Our research develops error-proofing methods for the product …

To provide an advanced product definition methodology based on quality function
deployment (QFD) principles to identify minimize the risks of project failures due to failure to …

A rapid and simple spectrophotometric assay for choline acetyltransferase is described. The
method employs 4, 4′-dithiodipyridine to measure the coenzyme A produced by the …

Seven new steroid glycosides, dioscorosides A 1 (1), A 2 (2), B 1 (3), B 2 (4), C 1 (5), C 2 (6),
and D (7), together with 22 known ones (8–29) were isolated from the rhizomes of Dioscorea …

Guinea pig antiserum specific for purified bovine choline acetyltransferase has been shown
to cross-react with rabbit enzyme. We used the peroxidase-antiperoxidase …

Choline acetyltransferase (ChAc) has been isolated and highly purified from the caudate
nuclei of bovine brains. The procedure involved:(1) making an acetone‐and chloroform …

The human body has frequently been used as a vehicle for illicit drug smuggling. The
anatomic site of concealment is usually the gastrointestinal tract. We report a case in which …

This study presents a novel shoe-shape structure, capable of combining two six-axis force
sensors placed in the front part and rear part of that structure. Also, the foot is treated as a 1 …

THE neurones of the central nervous system that contain catecholamines, or serotonin, can
be visualised histochemically by the highly fluorescent products that they form in the …
