Falling Off the Cliff: When Systems Go Nonlinear
As the systems we build become more complex, understanding and managing their behavior becomes more challenging. If the system’s inputs are within an acceptable range, it will behave predictably. However, the system may “fall off the cliff” if input values are outside this range. This nonlinear behavior is undesirable, because the system no longer behaves predictably: it may not be possible to ...
متن کاملAre we lemmings going off a cliff? The case against the "interventional" pain medicine label.
We appreciate and agree with what seems to be the crux of Dr Richeimer’s editorial: “. . . we want pain medicine to be viewed as a legitimate medical specialty, with a broad knowledge base & a wide arsenal of treatments . . .”. However, we strongly disagree with his statement: “Hopefully, it is clear that the trend toward the use of the label ‘interventional pain medicine’ is very problematic f...
متن کاملLift-off dynamics in a simple jumping robot
We study vertical jumping in a simple robot comprising an actuated mass-spring arrangement. The actuator frequency and phase are systematically varied to find optimal performance. Optimal jumps occur above and below (but not at) the robot's resonant frequency f(0). Two distinct jumping modes emerge: a simple jump, which is optimal above ff(0), is achievable with a squat maneuver, and a peculiar...
متن کاملTake-off and landing forces in jumping frogs.
Anurans use a saltatorial (jumping) mode of locomotion. A jumping cycle can be divided into four subphases: propulsion, flight, landing and recovery. We studied the landing phase during locomotion in Rana esculenta by measuring the ground reaction forces during propulsion and landing over a range of distances. Landing performance affects locomotor ability in jumping frogs. Landing and recovery ...
متن کاملDon't Fall Off the Adaptation Cliff: When Asymmetrical Fitness Selects for Suboptimal Traits
The cliff-edge hypothesis introduces the counterintuitive idea that the trait value associated with the maximum of an asymmetrical fitness function is not necessarily the value that is selected for if the trait shows variability in its phenotypic expression. We develop a model of population dynamics to show that, in such a system, the evolutionary stable strategy depends on both the shape of th...
