Mechanical Impedance Control in the Human Arm While Manually Transporting an Open-Top Fluid Filled Dish by Navit Roth, Rami Seliktar, Joseph Mizrahi

“…The motion of the limb and shoulder girdle served as inputs to a model to reveal the impedance adjustments during the simultaneous control of grasping and walking under ordinary conditions, and when one of the joints is affected. A regressive function used to express stiffness, included first-order dependence on angle and on angular velocity. …”

Merging and Fractionation of Muscle Synergy Indicate the Recovery Process in Patients with Hemiplegia: The First Study of Patients after Subacute Stroke by Yu Hashiguchi, Koji Ohata, Ryosuke Kitatani, Natsuki Yamakami, Kaoru Sakuma, Sayuri Osako, Yumi Aga, Aki Watanabe, Shigehito Yamada

“…However, the extent of merging of the synergies was negatively associated with an increase in muscle strength and the range of angle at ankle joint. Our results suggest that the neural changes represented by NNMF were related to the longitudinal change of function and gait pattern and that the merging of synergy is an important marker in patients after subacute stroke.…”

Improving Performance of Integrated Ground-HAPS FSO Communication Links With MIMO Application by Emna Zedini, Yalcn Ata, Mohamed-Slim Alouini

“…Capitalizing on this PDF expression, we present novel results for fundamental performance metrics, including outage probability, average bit-error rate (BER) of on-off keying (OOK) modulation scheme, and ergodic capacity expressed in terms of the Meijer's G function. Additionally, we provide highly accurate asymptotic results for the outage probability and the average BER at high SNR, obtained in terms of simpler functions. …”
