  ABSTRACT: Virtual proprioception is a novel device for providing near autonomous biofeedback of hemiparetic gait disparity in real time. With virtual proprioception a user may modify gait dynamics to develop a more suitable gait in tandem with real time feedback. Accelerometers are fundamental to the operation of the device, and a thorough consideration of the accelerometry technology space for locomotion quantification is included. The role of traumatic brain injury and respective decrements to gait quality and proprioceptive feedback are addressed. Virtual proprioception conceptual test and evaluation yielded positive results. The active 'on' status of the virtual proprioception biofeedback for alternative gait strategy was bounded by a 90% confidence level with a 10% margin of error.

  ABSTRACT: Using a large consortium of undergraduate students in an organized program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), we have undertaken a functional genomic screen in the Drosophila eye. In addition to the educational value of discovery-based learning, this article presents the first comprehensive genomewide analysis of essential genes involved in eye development. The data reveal the surprising result that the X chromosome has almost twice the frequency of essential genes involved in eye development as that found on the autosomes.
