Abstract:
Low back pain is a common problem among competitive swimmers, and repeated torso hyperextension is claimed to be an etiological factor. The purpose of this study was to describe the three-dimensional torso configurations in the front crawl stroke and to test the hypothesis that swimmers experience torso hyperextension consistently across the stroke cycles. Nineteen collegiate swimmers underwent 2 measurements: a measurement of the active range of motion in 3 dimensions and a measurement of tethered front crawl stroke at their maximal effort. Torso extension beyond the active range of torso motion was defined as torso hyperextension. The largest torso extension angle exhibited during the stroke cycles was 9 ± 11° and it was recorded at or around 0.02 ± 0.08 s, the instant at which the torso attained the largest twist angle. No participant hyperextended the torso consistently across the stroke cycles and subjects exhibited torso extension angles during tethered front crawl swimming that were much less than their active range of motion. Therefore, our hypothesis was rejected, and the data suggest that repeated torso hyperextension during front crawl strokes should not be claimed to be the major cause of the high incidence of low back pain in swimmers.

Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic torso scanner system is presented. This system aims at providing a complimentary/auxiliary imaging modality to supplement conventional imaging devices, e.g., ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for pathologies in the chest and upper abdomen such as pulmonary abscess, fatty liver disease and renal cancer. The system is comprised of an array of 14 resonance-based reflector (RBR) antennas that operate from 0.83 to 1.9 GHz and are located on a movable flange. The system is able to scan different regions of the chest and upper abdomen by mechanically moving the antenna array to different positions along the long axis of the thorax with an accuracy of about 1 mm at each step. To verify the capability of the system, a three-dimensional imaging algorithm is proposed. This algorithm utilizes a fast frequency-based microwave imaging method in conjunction with a slice interpolation technique to generate three-dimensional images. To validate the system, pulmonary abscess was simulated within an artificial torso phantom. This was achieved by injecting an arbitrary amount of fluid (e.g., 30 mL of water), into the lungs regions of the torso phantom. The system could reliably and reproducibly determine the location and volume of the embedded target.

AbstractWhat happens when in the midst of the routines of our workaday world we suddenly find ourselves in the presence of someone who regards us with intensity and demands our response? Rilke's poem explores that precise and pregnant moment when an object of scientific investigation, aesthetic contemplation or historical analysis suddenly breaks free from the constraints imposed upon it by a workaday perspective and transforms itself into a subject who beckons us to enter another world. Rilke's "Archaic Torso of Apollo" leads us beyond our mundane and naturalistic concerns, beyond a thinking and doing that seeks to appropriate and masters a natural world.To faithfully follow its meandering thought means to be led to the very source from which springs narration and metaphor. It is from this same source that springs a human world.

The moving torso plays an important role in the dynamics of bipeds like human beings, the exploitation of which is the essential focus of this paper. A design is presented where the torso is actuated to make the biped walk with the required step-length while allowing the legs to move passively. A periodic response excitation is achieved and the motion of the torso is optimized with respect to the external energy input. A working model of the biped is designed and built in which only the torso is actuated and the legs are passive. This laboratory model is used to test and validate the analytical solutions.

Abstract:
Studying Biology for students with visual impairment and other visual impairments has been a difficult task, especially when it comes to living things. During this time, biology lessons related to the system on the human body done one of them through torso learning media and it became a problem for visual impairment learners. This paper aims to conduct studies and development of the use of QR Code audio for the visually impaired. The study focused on adaptation of QR Code and audio on Torso, and implementation of Torso Audio in Biology lessons for the visually impaired and other visual disorders. The study results revealed that the Audio Torso was designed by adapting the QR Code audio which was then pinned to the intended torso. By adapting learning technology through QR Code audio, it can minimize the Biology learning gap for blind students and other visual impairments. The use of Torso Audio is done in a classical and independent manner. Classically it is used integrated with Biology learning as teaching materials. Independent use is carried out by students outside of learning hours as an enrichment material. Through the Audio Torso, educators and students get benefits and fulfilled the need for more auditive learning media.

Abstract:
This paper presents a control method of the torso for dynamic walking of biped robots. Specifically, we want to save the energy and improve the walking stability by the planning and control of torso orientation at landing. First, the impact process of leg exchange is formulated using a simplified model. Based on this, the influence of the torso orientation at landing on walking performance is investigated. Second, a control method of torso orientation, which is an under actuated control, is proposed to regulate the torso orientation in the single support phase (SSP). Third, the control module of the torso is integrated into the previously established control frame of 3D biped walking to implement the control objective of a 3D humanoid robot. The results of a number of simulations show the feasibility of the proposed method, and also explore the relations between the speed, stability and energy consumption with the landing orientation of the torso.

Full text
Abstract:
The transcriptional activity of the Bicoid morphogen is directly downregulated by the Torso signal transduction cascade at the anterior pole of the Drosophila embryo. This regulation does not involve the homeodomain or direct phosphorylation of Bicoid. We analyse the transcriptional regulation of Bicoid in response to the Torso pathway, using Bicoid variants and fusion proteins between the Bicoid domains and the Gal4 DNA-binding domain. We show that Bicoid possesses three autonomous activation domains. Two of these domains, the serine/threonine-rich and the acidic domains, are downregulated by Torso, whereas the third activation domain, which is rich in glutamine, is not. The alanine-rich domain, previously described as an activation domain in vitro, has a repressive activity that is independent of Torso. Thus, Bicoid downregulation by Torso results from a competition between the glutamine-rich domain that is insensitive to Torso and the serine/threonine-rich and acidic activation domains downregulated by Torso. The alanine-rich domain contributes to this process indirectly by reducing the global activity of the protein and in particular the activity of the glutamine-rich domain that might otherwise prevent downregulation by Torso.

In this paper, laboratory experiments of LARMbot torso V1 are reported in the third mode, thereby providing a testing characterization. Sensors were used to measure parameters including the contact force between the shoulder and cables, linear acceleration, angles of the torso body, and power consumption. The results showed that the LARMbot torso V1 can bend successfully to the desired angles, and that it is able to complete a full motion smoothly. The LARMbot torso V1 can mimic human-like motiaons. Based on our analysis of the test results, improvements are suggested, and new designs are considered.

Full text
Abstract:
Regulated activation of receptor tyrosine kinases depends on both the presence of the receptors at the cell surface and on the availability of their ligands. In Drosophila, the torso tyrosine kinase receptor is distributed along the surface of the embryo but it is only activated at the poles by a diffusible extracellular ligand generated at each pole that is trapped by the receptor, thereby impeding further diffusion. Although it is known that this signal depends on the activity of several genes, such as torso-like and trunk, it is still unclear how is generated. The identification of the signal responsible for the torso receptor activation is an essential step towards understanding the mechanism that regulates the local restriction of torso signalling. Here we report that a fragment containing the carboxy-terminal 108 amino acids of the trunk protein retains trunk activity and is sufficient to activate torso signalling. We also show that this fragment bypasses the requirements for the other genes involved in the activation of the torso receptor. These results suggest that a cleaved form of the trunk protein acts as a signal for the torso receptor. We therefore propose that the restricted activation of the torso receptor is defined by the spatial control of the proteolytic processing of the trunk protein.

Abstract:
A new torso structure for a humanoid robot has been proposed. The structural characteristics and functions of human torso have been considered to gain inspirations for design purposes. The proposed torso structure consists of six revolute units divided into two basic categories connected in a serial chain mechanism. The proposed torso structure shows more advantages compared to traditional humanoid robots in terms of high degrees of freedom (DOFs), high stiffness, self-locking capabilities, as well as easy-to-control features. Bionic optimization design based on objective function method has been implemented on structural design for better motion performances. A 3D model has been elaborated and simulated in SolidWorks and ADAMS environments for structural design and kinematic simulation purposes, respectively. Simulation results show that the new bionic torso structure is able to well imitate movements of human torso.

Abstract:
BackgroundTumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are a noninvasive, antineoplastic treatment delivered locoregionally to tumor bed via low intensity (1–3 V/cm), intermediate frequency (100–500 kHz), alternating electric fields. This treatment modality has been shown to be cytotoxic to rapidly dividing cells, with highest efficacy demonstrated at different optimal frequencies depending on tumor cell-type. TTFields therapy is FDA-approved for the treatment of newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma (GBM), with the overall tolerable safety profile (EF-11 and EF-14 clinical trials) attributed to the low rate of mitotic events in normal, quiescent brain cells. Further evaluation of the safety profile of TTFields is needed for treating cancer in different body regions where there are high rates of cellular proliferation, i.e. torso. Many solid malignant tumors may reside in the torso region – mesothelioma and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in the thoracic segment; pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and gastric cancer in the abdomen; and ovarian cancer in the pelvis. Hence, we investigated the safety of delivering TTFields to the torso of healthy rats at conditions previously deemed effective for treating the aforementioned cancer cell types.MethodsTTFields were applied using the Novo-TTF100L system at frequencies of 150 or 200 kHz and intensities of 1–2 V/cm RMS to torsos of Sprague Dawley (SD) female rats for a duration of 2 weeks. Throughout treatment, animals underwent daily clinical examinations. Blood samples and comparative histological evaluation of major internal organs were performed at treatment cessation.ResultsNo significant differences were observed for the TTFields treated groups in comparison to control groups for the following parameters: activity level, food and water intake, stools, motor neurological status, respiration, weight, complete blood count, blood biochemistry, and pathological findings.ConclusionsThese results demonstrate the safety of 150 and 200 kHz TTFields when delivered to torsos of healthy rats, where there are normal tissues with high cellular proliferation rates. Overall, TTFields delivery to the torso demonstrated safety and feasibility for the treatment of thoracic and other abdominal and pelvic cancers. TTFields are currently being investigated in clinical studies for the treatment of solid tumors located in the torso, including locally advanced pancreatic cancer (PANOVA-3 Study, NCT03377491), ovarian cancer (INNOVATE-3 Study, NCT03940196), lung cancer (LUNAR Study, NCT02973789), hepatocellular carcinoma (HEPANOVA Study, NCT03606590) and gastric cancer.
