Models and architectures for motor control: Simple or complex?
For the purpose of motor coordination, the nervous system faces a complex control problem, involving redundant degrees of freedom, nonlinear dynamics of limbs and actuators, noise, and perturbations. Models and architectures have been proposed to describe motor coordination in terms of computational processes, and identify possible simplifying strategies that would alleviate the workload of the...
متن کاملIndividualising aminoglycoside dosage regimens after therapeutic drug monitoring: simple or complex pharmacokinetic methods?
Measurements of aminoglycoside concentration in serum are used to individualise dosage regimens (dose per administration and/or administration interval) with the goal of attaining the desired therapeutic range as quickly as possible. Therapeutic range is defined in terms of peak concentration (to monitor effectiveness) and trough concentration (to avoid toxicity). This article focuses on method...
متن کاملTransmembrane helix: simple or complex
Transmembrane helical segments (TMs) can be classified into two groups of so-called 'simple' and 'complex' TMs. Whereas the first group represents mere hydrophobic anchors with an overrepresentation of aliphatic hydrophobic residues that are likely attributed to convergent evolution in many cases, the complex ones embody ancestral information and tend to have structural and functional roles bey...
متن کاملSimple Models of Complex Systems
The range of phenomena addressed by physicists in trying to understand nature is very wide. In length scales, it varies from the Planck scale ( about 10 meters), to the size of the universe ( ∼ 10 meters). In time scales from 10 seconds to billions of years. The enormity of this range is somewhat mind-boggling. While the problems of understanding ultra-short and very-large length scales are cer...
متن کاملCombining Simple Models to Approximate Complex Dynamics
Stochastic tracking of structured models in monolithic state spaces often requires modeling complex distributions that are difficult to represent with either parametric or sample-based approaches. We show that if redundant representations are available, the individual state estimates may be improved by combining simpler dynamical systems, each of which captures some aspect of the complex behavi...
