1. Extraocular Muscles in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease of motor neurons characterized by muscle paralysis and death within 3-5 years of onset. However, due to unknown mechanisms, the extraocular muscles (EOMs) remain remarkably unaffected. READ MORE

2. Optical Measurements of Rolling Friction Coefficients
Abstract : This thesis presents an optical method to measure the rolling friction coefficientsfor balls rolling freely on a cylindrical surface. Two different models of a ball rollingfreely on a cylindrical surface are established, one is an analytical model and the otheris a numerical model derived from Lagrange equation. READ MORE

3. Human extraocular muscles : molecular diversity of a unique muscle allotype
Abstract : Introduction: The extraocular muscles (EOMs) are considered a separate class of skeletal muscle, allotype. Myosin is the major contractile protein in muscle. The myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms are the best molecular markers of functional heterogeneity of muscle fibers. READ MORE

4. Genetic studies of zebrafish muscles : clues to protection in muscle disease
Abstract : Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are caused by dysregulation of over 40 proteins but commonly share features of muscle weakness, myofiber death and regeneration, loss of ambulation and premature death. A MD involves a broken link anywhere in the connection from extracellular matrix through the sarcolemma to the sarcomere. READ MORE

5. Simulation of Electro-Optic Modulators by a Time-Domain Beam-Propagation Method
Abstract : Electro-optic modulators (EOMs) are components which convert electric signals to optical ones. They are needed, e.g., at the transmitter end of fiber-optic communication systems and in time-stretch analog-to-digital converters. READ MORE
