Replication of healthy knee behavior after amputation requires prosthetic knees to provide active and resistive stance behaviors, as well as ballistic and non-ballistic swing behaviors. Current state-of-the-art prosthetic ...

As a parallel data processing framework, MapReduce has been proved to be one of the most popular topics in the age of Cloud Computing since it was firstly proposed by Google. Despite its advantages such as scalability, ...

The paper argues that multiple equilibria-whether non-stationary or stationary- are a generic property of dynamic rational expectations models. In light of this, this paper proposes a selection criterion for choosing between ...

When an organism is injured, the damaged tissue recognizes the presence and severity of the wound and rapidly responds to repair the injury and restore proper tissue functionality. But how do cells first detect the presence ...

Fault diagnosis is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of complex engineering systems. Many present-day systems combine physical and computational processes, and are best modeled as hybrid systems, where the dynamic ...

Over the past few decades, multiple actors, including clinicians, researchers, activists, intersex adults, and parents of intersex children, have engaged in debates over what intersex is and how—or whether—it should be ...

CubeSats have become an attractive platform for university-based spacecraft designs because they are cheaper and quicker to launch than full-scale satellites. One way of keeping costs for CubeSats low is using commercial ...

My dissertation tackles the question of how to theorize the democratic commitment that collective decisions must accommodate the voices and interests of those subject to them. The rigorous demands of this democratic ...

Mitotic kinesins represent the new age targets of spindle-poisoning chemotherapies. The kinesin-5 Eg5 is one such example, as kinesin-5 inhibitors (K5Is) induce a lethal mitotic arrest from failed spindle assembly. ...

In recent years, more and more efforts have been put on creating robots that operate in domestic environments. A robotic simulation environment for testing, developing and deploying motion planning is extremely necessary ...
