Model-Based Estimation of Ankle Joint Stiffness

We address the estimation of biomechanical parameters with wearable measurement technologies. In particular, we focus on the estimation of sagittal plane ankle joint stiffness in dorsiflexion/plantar flexion. For this estimation, a novel nonlinear biomechanical model of the lower leg was formulated that is driven by electromyographic signals. The model incorporates a two-dimensional kinematic d...

Supply-Chain Synchronization: Lessons from Hyundai Motor Company

One of the challenges of supply-chain management is developing ways to effectively integrate activities across organizations on the supply chain. Hyundai Motor Company developed mechanisms to coordinate production planning and scheduling activities among supply-chain members. Hyundai Motor's production-and-sales-control (P/SC) department uses regularly scheduled cross-functional meetings and sc...

Forages are the most important ingredient in a dairy cow’s ration. She is a ruminant and to be a healthy, productive cow she needs a healthy, productive rumen. High quality forages are the key to achieving a healthy rumen and a productive cow. However, because of the importance of forages in maintaining rumen health and cow performance, when deficiencies in the amount or quality of the forage i...

We consider Laplacian growth problems using a field theory approach. In particular we consider the Saffman-Taylor (ST) problem, in which a non-viscous fluid is pumped into the center of a HeleShaw cell filled with a highly viscous fluid generating a bubble of a distinctive fingering fractal pattern. The idealized settings of the problem, with vanishing surface tension between the bubble and the...
