TRANSCUTANEOUS SPINAL CORD DIRECT-CURRENT STIMULATION MODULATES FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY AND INTEGRATION IN IDIOPATHIC RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME

Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Direct-Current Stimulation Modulates Functional Activity and Integration in Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome

Idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder and is suggested to be caused by central nervous system abnormalities.Non-invasive transcutaneous spinal direct-current stimulation (tsDCS) was recently used for RLS therapy.However, the neurophysiological basis of tsDCS treatment is still unknown.In this study, we explored the neur

Numerical Investigation on Local Scour and Flow Field around the Bridge Pier under Protection of Perforated Baffle and Ring-Wing Plate

In this paper, a series of numerical experiments are carried out on the anti-scour device combined with perforated baffle and BILBERRY ring-wing plate.In addition, the optimal dimensions and location of the combined device are obtained: The perforated ratio of the baffle is S = 20%, the distance from the center of the bridge pier is L = 2d (d is th

Characterizing Natural Organic Matter Transformations by Microbial Communities in Terrestrial Subsurface Ecosystems: A Critical Review of Analytical Techniques and Challenges

Determining the mechanisms, traits, and M TOP pathways that regulate microbial transformation of natural organic matter (NOM) is critical to informing our understanding of the microbial impacts on the global carbon cycle.The capillary fringe of subsurface soils is a highly dynamic environment that remains poorly understood.Characterization of organ
