Human Nail Plate Modifications Induced by Onychomycosis : Implications for Topical Therapy

Baraldi, A.; Jones, S. A.; Guesné, S.; Traynor, M.J.; McAuley, W. J.; Brown, Marc; Murdan, S. (2015-05-01)

Conclusions: Onchomycotic nails presented a thicker but more porous barrier, and its eroded intracellular matrix rendered the tissue more permeable to topically applied chemicals when an aqueous vehicle was used.Purpose: ...

Human papillomavirus is detected in transitional cell carcinoma arising in renal transplant recipients

Husain, Ehab; Prowse, David M.; Ktori, Elena; Shaikh, Taufiq; Yaqoob, Magdi; Junaid, Islam; Baithun, Suhail (2009-11-09)

Aims: We investigated the role of human papillomavirus HPV in the development of transitional cell carcinoma TCC arising in renal transplant recipients. Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from 10 m paraffin embedded sections ...

Human papillomavirus-associated increase in p16INK4A expression in penile lichen sclerosus and squamous cell carcinoma

Prowse, David M.; Ktori, E. N.; Chandrasekaran, D.; Prapa, A.; Baithun, S. (2008-02-01)

Background: Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are sexually transmitted human carcinogens that may play a role in the oncogenesis of penile cancer. Objectives: To investigate the role of HPV infection and expression of the ...

Human Perception of Intrinsically Motivated Autonomy in Human-Robot Interaction

Scheunemann, Marcus; Salge, Christoph; Polani, Daniel; Dautenhahn, Kerstin (2022-02-22)

A challenge in using robots in human-inhabited environments is to design behavior that is engaging, yet robust to the perturbations induced by human interaction. Our idea is to imbue the robot with intrinsic motivation ...

Human problem solving: Beyond Newell et al.'s (1958) Elements of a theory of human problem solving

Gobet, Fernand; Lane, Peter (Sage, 2015)

Human Psychophysical Functions, an Update : Methods for Identifying their form; Estimating their Parameters; and Evaluating the Effects of Important Predictors

Kornbrot, Diana E. (2016-03-01)

Stevens' power law for the judgments of sensation has a long history in psychology and is used in many psychophysical investigations of the effects of predictors such as group or condition. Stevens' formulation (Formula ...

Human responses to an expressive robot

Nadel, J.; Simon, M.; Canet, P.; Soussignan, R.; Blancard, P.; Cañamero, Lola; Gaussier, P. (Lund University, 2006)

This paper reports the results of the first study comparing subjects’ responses to robotic emotional facial displays and human emotional facial displays. It describes step by step the building of believable emotional ...

Human shape recognition from snakes using neural networks

Tabb, Ken; Davey, N.; George, S.; Adams, R.G. (IEEE, 1999)

This paper documents experiments which have been carried out with several neural network systems designed to categorise pedestrian shapes from non-pedestrian shapes. Active Contour models (‘Snakes’) [1] have been used to ...

Human skeletal muscle derived microvesicles induce apoptosis in highly metastatic prostate cancer cells

Inal, Jameel; Kholia, Sharad (2012-09-13)

The human skeletal muscle is a highly vascularised tissue that contributes approximately 40% of the total body mass. These two factors make it a prime target for secondary cancer metastases. Surprisingly, malignant cancers ...

Human skin absorption of bis-2-(chloroethyl)sulphide (sulphur mustard) in vitro

Chilcott, Robert; Jenner, J.; Carrick, W.; Hotchkiss, S. A. M.; Rice, P. (2000)

The purpose of this study was to measure the absorption and intra-epidermal fate of S-35-radiolabelled sulphur mustard ((SM)-S-35) in human breast skin in vitro. Skin (full-thickness or heat-separated epidermis) was placed ...

Human to robot demonstrations of routine home tasks: exploring the role of the robot's feedback

Otero, N.; Alissandrakis, A.; Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Syrdal, D.S.; Koay, K.L. (2008)

In this paper, we explore some conceptual issues, relevant for the design of robotic systems aimed at interacting with humans in domestic environments. More specifically, we study the role of the robot's feedback (positive ...

Human to Robot Demonstrations of Routine Home Tasks:Acknowledgment and Response to the Robot’s Feedback

Alissandrakis, A.; Miyake, Y. (SSAISB, 2009)

This paper investigates the possible role of the robot’s feedback in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) from the human perspective, and attempts to highlight some important conceptual and practical issues such as the lack of ...

Human uraemic serum displays calcific potential in vitro that increases with advancing chronic kidney disease

Patidar, Ashish; Singh, Dhruv; Winocour, Peter; Farrington, Ken; Baydoun, A. R. (2013-03)

Vascular calcification strongly correlates with declining renal function and contributes to the high morbidity and mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is closely regulated by circulating factors but ...
