Human Computer Interaction moves forward in the field of sign language interpretation.Indian Sign Language (ISL) Interpretation system is a good way to help the Indian hearing impaired people to interact with normal people with the help of computer. As compared to other sign languages, ISL interpretation has got less attention by the researcher. In this paper, some historical background, need, scope and concern of ISL are given.

Introduction
At the center of our daily life activities, the hand is frequently exposed to both direct and indirect trauma and overuse injuries(1). Therefore, the detection and detailed evaluation of hand injuries are common referral indications for ultrasound (US) examinations. Most injuries to the hand are open injuries. These injuries occur more commonly to the extensor tendons rather than the flexor tendons(2). This review covers the most common injury patterns of pulleys, flexor and

In the velvet hand illusion (VHI), a person rubs his/her hands together on either side of wires strung through a frame, producing the sensation of rubbing a very smooth and soft surface like velvet. We investigate the VHI mechanism to obtain an effective hint for a new tactile display because such tactile illusions play a good role in deceiving the brain so that operators believe that a virtual sensation is real. To elucidate the VHI mechanism, we propose two approaches: one uses psychophysics

The objective of the present study was to describe the molecular characteristics of enteroviruses associated with hand, food, and mouth disease (HFMD) in Poland. Clinical material from HFMD cases, that occurred during 2013–2016 were examined. It has been showed that coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6), CVA10 and CVA16 were circulating in the country. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Polish CVA6 strains were divided into two distinct clusters suggesting two independent introductions. This is the

Introduction
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a viral and febrile disease frequently seen in children, generally presenting with a mild course and accompanied by oral rash and rashes on palmar surfaces of hand and feet (Kliegman and Geme 2015). Cases of HFMD are seen all over the world; however, epidemics with serious complications that result in deaths are reported mostly from Western Pacific Region countries (WHO 2011). Enterovirus A species are responsible for more than 90% of HFMD

Introduction
Many variations can be observed in the anatomy of the extensor and flexor tendon system of the hand(1–4). These variations may involve the extensor tendons at the wrist and midhand level. Variations also occur in the tendons and pulleys at the flexor side. These variations present potential pitfalls at ultrasound (US) and radiologists should be aware of them to avoid misdiagnosis. The finger extensor and tendon system is complex and many details are not well known by radiologists

We conclude that the θ and Φ estimations are valid because the estimation error is almost within 10 when the distance between the camera and object is less than 110 and 80 cm for θ and Φ for Forms 1 and 2, respectively. Finally, we applied our FDR system to the communication between a robot and

Introduction
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common endemic childhood disease worldwide, particularly in Asia. Generally, it is triggered by two major causative agents: enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) (Kaminska et al. 2013; Koh et al. 2016), followed by coxsackievirus A6 (CA6) and coxsackie virus A10 (CA10) (Wang et al. 2018). This disease majorly affects children under five years old (Omana-Capeda et al. 2016). The common symptoms include fever, rashes on the

the gene data do not always assure an optimum solution, but the calculation cost is reduced from astronomical figures to around one ten to twenty thousandth. If we use the top-down methodology, astronomical trials are needed to specify the optimum pattern. Therefore, EBTS is an attractive method because it is very useful for obtaining general robotic behaviors in both collective and multi-fingered hand tasks.

This paper describes a hand-arm system equipped with optical three-axis tactile sensors and a binocular vision sensor. The vision compensates for the limitations of tactile information and tactile sensing, and vice versa. The tactile sensor can obtain geometrical data as real scale, while image data requires calibration to obtain length as a metric unit. Even if stereovision is used, we cannot obtain sufficient precision. In the evaluation test, the robotic hand equipped with tactile sensors

The research confirms the importance of brand equity in the development of business operations, mainly due to the existence

On the other hand, while a lognormal-logistic model has been proposed (to incorporate skewed distributions as well as zeroes), that model does not include any hierarchical aspects, and is therefore not explicitly adapted to small area prediction. In this paper, we consolidate the two approaches by extending one of the already established log-transformation mixed small area prediction models to incorporate a logistic

Insertion depth was defined by a sleeve tube height that provided a depth stop when contact was reached with the head of the hand piece. Additionally, to prevent movement of the insertion instrument, a custom

In such cases, the differences can be illustrated by drawing survival curves, but this will only give a rough idea. Since the data obtained from survival studies contains frequently censored observations some specially designed tests are required in order to compare groups

Our results showed that pirenzepine but not methoctramine supressed the amplitude of fEPSPs. On the other hand, intracerebroventricular methoctramine administration impaired passive avoidance learning and increased the amplitude of fEPSP.

Introduction
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common type of neuropathy with a prevalence estimated at between 0.1–0.5%(1). The condition involves the entrapment of the median nerve under the flexor retinaculum, causing weakness, paresthesia and pain at the wrist and hand, and thus decreasing the quality of life. The severity of the disorder and effectiveness of any therapeutic intervention are typically determined by physical examination involving functional, performance and pain

Materials and methods: The Dental Panoramic Tomogram and Lateral Skull Radiographs of 381 subjects aged between 8.20 years and 17.96 years were examined. Calcification stages of all the teeth on the left hand side and all third molars were determined according to Demirjian’s 8-stages, whilst the Cervical Vertebral Maturation (CVM) Index was adopted for the assessment of skeletal maturity

Precise control of the stepper motor has always been a topic of interest and also a challenging issue among control engineering researchers due to the nonlinear nature of the motor dynamic. Abrupt influences of the uncertainties on the model’s dynamic and control performance, on the other hand, must be taken into account for providing a control methodology including the characteristics of adaption and flexibility. Lack of these items in most of the classic control approaches results in
