Differential human growth restudied by Etienne Geraert

“…Results: (1) The growth in human length is, from the beginning, constantly and negatively influenced by the growth in girth, so it is evident that growth has to stop; (2) The influence of the growth in girth is stronger in females, resulting in shorter females; (3) The growth of the human head is, from the beginning, constantly and negatively influenced by the growth in body length (both sexes show a very similar pattern); (4) Not all comparisons resulted in a quadratic parabola: the nipple distance is constantly at ∼24% of the thoracic girth in males and young females. …”

Evaluation of the effects of focused ultrasound stimulation on the central nervous system through a multiscale simulation approach by Alessia Scarpelli, Mattia Stefano, Francesca Cordella, Loredana Zollo

“…In this paper, in order to study the propagation of the ultrasound wave from the transducer to the cortical cells, a multiscale approach was implemented by building a macroscopic model, which estimates the pressure profile in a simplified 2D human head geometry, and coupling it with the SONIC microscale model, that describes the electrical behaviour of a cortical neuron. …”

Epileptic seizure detection and experimental treatment: A review by Kim, T, Nguyen, P, Pham, N, Bui, N, Truong, H, Ha, S, Vu, T

“…Seizures can be detected by monitoring the brain and muscle activities, heart rate, oxygen level, artificial sounds, or visual signatures through EEG, EMG, ECG, motion, or audio/video recording on the human head and body. In this article, we first discuss recent advances in seizure sensing, signal processing, time- or frequency-domain analysis, and classification algorithms to detect and classify seizure stages. …”

Theoretical and experimental evaluation of detached endcaps for 3 T birdcage coils. by Alecci, M, Collins, C, Wilson, J, Liu, W, Smith, M, Jezzard, P

“…Surprisingly, simulations and experiments show that there is an optimum ratio of endcap-to-birdcage coil diameter (approximately 1.08) that gives the best B(1) homogeneity. In the human head the optimized endcap, positioned 16 mm from the RF shield, improves the MRI signal amplitude from 55% to 85% of maximum toward the service end. …”

Method of registration for 3D face point cloud data by Mohd. Sidik, Mohd. Kufaisal, Sunar, Mohd. Shahrizal, Zamri, Muhamad Najib

“…This research is done by mapping the retrieved point cloud to the surface of the face template of the human head. By using Coherent Point Drift (CPD) algorithm which is one of the non-rigid registration techniques, the analysis has been done and it shows that the mapping of points for a three-dimensional (3D) face is not done properly where there are some surfaces work well and certain points spread into the wrong area. …”
