The electrical behaviour of the exposed tibial surface of young rats has been studied in normal conditions, after fracture and during the repair process. Recordings of potentials were made after all the electrical artefacts (muscle injury potentials) had been neutralized. No significant potential difference was obtained on the exposed bony surface in all the specimens. The results suggest that the currents of the hypothetical "bone-generator" do not reach the tibial surface. The bioelectrical properties of bone cannot therefore be investigated by an external recording method.

Load frequency control (LFC) systems in power grids face challenges in maintaining stability while managing computational complexity. This research presents an optimized approach combining model order reduction techniques with Teaching Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) for PID controller tuning in single-area LFC systems. Three reduction methods-Routh Approximation, Balanced Truncation, and Hankel Norm Approximation-were implemented to reduce system order from 4th to 2nd order, achieving a 47.

This study introduces the development of a highly sensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor specifically designed to detect prostate-specific antigen (PSA). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with Au nanoparticles/polyhedral hollow CoCu bimetallic sulfide (CuCoS) was employed as a sensing interface for the fixation of the monoclonal anti-PSA antibody. The nanoarchitectures enhanced the capacity for loading prostate-specific antibodies (Ab) and effectually boosted electrical conductivity leading to enhance the electrochemical signal and greater sensitivity for the detection of PSA.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is often modeled as networks of Regions of Interest (ROIs) and their functional connectivity to study brain functions and mental disorders. Limited fMRI data due to high acquisition costs hampers recognition model performance. We aim to address this issue using generative diffusion models for data augmentation.

Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent condition worldwide, significantly diminishing quality of life and productivity. Except for the alignment change, muscle activation patterns (MAP) have garnered increasing attention as another crucial factor contributing to KOA.

Objective: This study explores the factors, characteristics, and effects of MAP changes caused by KOA, providing a neuromuscular-based causal analysis for the rehabilitation treatment of KOA.

Low-frequency oscillations (LFO) are inherent to large interconnected power systems. Timely detection and mitigation of these oscillations is essential to maintain reliable power system operation. This paper presents a methodology to identify and mitigate low-frequency oscillations ( forced and inter-area) using a wide area monitoring system (WAMS) based power system model utilizing phasor measurement units (PMUs).
