design methodology for the Thorax and shoulder of human mimetic musculoskeletal humanoid kenshiro a Thorax structure with rib like surface
Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2012Co-Authors: Toyotaka Kozuki, Hironori Mizoguchi, Yuki Asano, Masahiko Osada, Takuma Shirai, Urata Junichi, Yuto Nakanishi, Kei Okada, Masayuki InabaAbstract:To design a robot with humanlike body structure, this paper presents a design methodology for a humanoid upper limb by tendon driven system. We newly designed an upper limb and rib cage like Thorax for a musculoskeletal humanoid robot, based on the knowledge of anatomy. The robot consists of Muscle, bone, and joint structure based on human and is expected to move flexibly and dynamically. This paper describes how to design such an upper limb and proposes the key mechanical design points, which is “rib surface Thorax”, “Muscle cushion”, “planar Muscle”, and “open type ball joint”. To show that these mechanisms is effective in making a musculoskeletal humanoid robot, we examine the motion range of the robot. One of our goals is to enable robots to do the same movements as humans do through mimicking the human body structure, finding some important elements of human nature. This robots explained in this paper is the prototype for a new life size robot “Kenshiro” project.

Muscle-derived Diedel attenuates systemic intestinal tissue aging and extends lifespan.
2018Co-Authors: Mohamed Mlih, Mobina Khericha, Christine Birdwell, Phillip A. West, Jason KarpacAbstract:(A) Histogram plotting fold change (in Thorax/Muscle transcriptome RPKM values of genes at least 2-fold up-regulated in Day 30 Act88FGal4>Mei-9RNAi/Day 10 Act88FGal4>+(w1118) control samples, but unchanged in control aging Thorax/Muscle samples. Diedel (“Die”; blue arrow). (B) Diedel transcription (measured by qRT-PCR) in dissected Thorax/Muscle upon mu-specific inhibition of Mei-9 at indicated ages; bars represent mean ± SE, n = 6. (C) Lineage tracing from ISCs using FRT recombination of a split alpha-tubulin-lacZ transgene (in Act88FG4>+[w1118, controls] or Act88FG4>UAS-Diedel genetic background); changes in clone size (cell per clone from posterior midgut) at Day 10; represented as box plot (median, red line), n = 25; Representative images of lacZ clones from various genotypes, immunostaining of dissected midguts (posterior), anti-lacZ (green), and DAPI (blue). (D-E) Quantification of mitoses per whole dissected midgut after (D) Ecc15 oral infection (Day 10) or (E) during aging (assayed by anti-pH3 immunostaining) at indicated ages in Act88FG4>UAS-Diedel and control (Act88FG4>+[w1118]) flies; bars represent mean ± SE, n = 20–30. (F) Immunostaining of dissected intestines to assess epithelial integrity of posterior midguts at indicated ages, genotypes described above; pH3 (green), armadillo (“Arm”; membrane, red), and DAPI (blue). Representative images shown. (G-H) Survival curves (lifespan, female flies) associated with mu-specific expression of Diedel using (G) the Act88FGal4 driver (compared to Act88FG4>+[w1118] controls) or (H) a GeneSwitch inducible driver (Act88FGS, +RU486 compared to −RU486 [vehicle alone] sibling controls). Underlying data can be found in S1 Data. See also S1 and S2 Figs and S1 and S2 Tables.

The influence of frozen storage and selected substances on the quality of horse meat.
Meat Science, 2019Co-Authors: Renata Stanisławczyk, M. Rudy, Marian GilAbstract:The aim of this work was to analyze the influence of frozen storage and selected substances on the quality of horse meat. The research material consisted of samples of the longest Thorax Muscle obtained from 12 half-carcases of horses. The use of citric acid and calcium salts contributes to deterioration of hydration properties of horse meat. Extension of frozen storage time from 1 to 3 months resulted in a decrease in the value of water retaining capacity in the analysed raw material. Regardless of the length of frozen storage of horse meat, the applied substances reduced in a statistically significant way the values of hardness and stiffness of the analysed raw material. Extension of frozen storage time influenced the increase of pH value (statistically significant differences) of meat subjected to marinating only with citric acid.
