Abstract:
This paper presents WR-Hand, a wearable-based system tracking 3D hand pose of 14 hand skeleton points over time using Electromyography (EMG) and gyroscope sensor data from commercial armband. This system provides a significant leap in wearable sensing and enables new application potentials in medical care, human-computer interaction, etc. A challenge is the armband EMG sensors inevitably collect mixed EMG signals from multiple forearm muscles because of the fixed sensor positions on the device, while prior bio-medical models for hand pose tracking are built on isolated EMG signal inputs from i

Motivated by the question of what drives the winds of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, I have been investigating the structure of WR winds. Observational evidence has been accumulated which demonstrates that the winds of some (but not all) WR stars are not spherically symmetric or homogeneous. I review results of work in the literature pertaining to the detection of such wind asymmetries in single WR stars and WR binary components. Particular emphasis is placed on the technique of spectropolarimetry, and how it has contributed to our knowledge of the wind-geometry of WR stars.

It is argued that, with few exceptions, WR stars in binaries are essentially indistinguishable from single WR stars of the same subtype. In particular, mass transfer from one star to the other can be neglected, being completely dominated by the winds and their interaction. Empirical masses and mass-loss rates derived for WR stars in binaries are then examined as typifying WR stars in general; they are used to derive a plausible scenario for the evolution of WR stars.

ABSTRACT Photometry at 3.4 and 4.6 ${\mu m}$ of 128 Population I WC type Wolf–Rayet stars in the Galaxy and 12 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) observed in the WISE NEOWISE-R survey was searched for evidence of circumstellar dust emission and its variation. Infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) were assembled, making use of archival r, i, Z, and Y photometry to determine reddening and stellar wind levels for the WC stars found in recent IR surveys and lacking optical photometry. From their SEDs, 10 apparently non-variable stars were newly identified as dust makers, including three,

New data concerning observational aspects of Wolf-Rayet binaries are summarised. WR+O and WR+c binary systems are considered. All the data concerning WR binaries agree well with the modern understanding of WR stars as the helium remnants formed as a result of mass loss by massive O-type stars.

Abstract. Water vapor plays an important role in various scales of weather processes. However, there are limited means to accurately describe its three-dimensional (3-D) dynamical changes. The data assimilation technique and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) tomography technique are two of the limited means. Here, we conduct an interesting comparison between the GNSS tomography technique and the Weather Research and Forecasting Data Assimilation (WRFDA) model (a representative of the data assimilation models) in retrieving wet refractivity (WR) in the Hong Kong area during a wet pe

Abstract Objective: This paper is to study the proliferation and chemoprotection effects of amifostine (WR-2721) and fengling polysaccharide (FLPS) on the human granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells. Method: (1) Mononuclear cells (MNC) were deparated by Ficoll (1.077g/ml). The MNC of WR-2721 and FLPS treatment were cultured in methylcellulose senisolid medium, the colony forming unit-granulocyte macrophage(CFU-GM) was measured. The effects of WR-2721 and FLPS on CFU-GM were studied. (2) MNC of WR-2721 treatment or containing FLPS were cultured 14h at 37°C with VP16. The cytoprotective activi

We performed a search of Wolf-Rayet stars features in optical spectra of two large samples of H II regions and H II galaxies. The main results are a list of galaxies/regions containing WR stars (of which seven are new WR galaxies) and a second list of possible WR galaxies/regions with WR stars.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method using electrochemical detection is presented for measuring the thiol WR-1065 [2-(3-aminopropylamino) ethanethiol] and its symmetrical disulfide WR-33278 [NH2(CH2)3NHCH2CH2S]2. WR-1065 is the active, radioprotective drug derived from the phosphorothioate pro-drug WR-2721 (amifostine). External standard curves for both compounds were linear over the range of 40-200 pmol injected (r2 = 0.999 and 0.996 for the thiol and disulfide, respectively). The detection and quantitation limits for WR-1065 were 9 and 18 pmol, respectively, whereas the corresponding val

A search through literature reveals four methods in order to derive the mass of WR progenitors, i.e.a. WR stars must be descendant from the most massive stars which share their galactic distribution,b. the computation of detailed evolutionary models of massive close binaries up to the WR phase, able to explain the observational constraints of these WR binaries,c. comparing the very narrow mass-luminosity relation of massive core helium burning stars predicted by evolution and estimated bolometric luminosities of WR members of stellar aggregates,d. the minimum mass of the progenitor of a WR mem

Abstract We have characterized Unstable factor for orange1 (Ufo1), a dominant, allele-specific modifier of expression of the maize pericarp color1 (p1) gene. The p1 gene encodes an Myb-homologous transcriptional activator of genes required for biosynthesis of red phlobaphene pigments. The P1-wr allele specifies colorless kernel pericarp and red cobs, whereas Ufo1 modifies P1-wr expression to confer pigmentation in kernel pericarp, as well as vegetative tissues, which normally do not accumulate significant amounts of phlobaphene pigments. In the presence of Ufo1, P1-wr transcript levels and tra

AbstractThe objective is to determine the nature of the unseen companion of the single-lined spectroscopic binary, WR 148 (= WN7h+?). The absence of companion lines supports a compact companion (cc) scenario. The lack of hard X-rays favours a non-compact companion scenario. Is WR 148 a commonplace WR+OB binary or a rare WR+cc binary?
