Sight in the Lower Animals

Genetically Modified Animals: No Clinically Promising Approaches in Sight

Blood pressure of at least 140 mm Hg systolic and 90 mm Hg diastolic is the hallmark of arterial hypertension. the cause is only known in about 10% of patients: renal disease, tumours, drugs or diabetes. this so called secondary hypertension may normalise when the underlying disease is treated. In about 90% of patients, no organic cause for the increased blood pressure can be identified, and th...

The Simulation of Humans and Lower Animals

This paper presents a brief review of our ongoing work on the biomechanical simulation of the human body. Our comprehensive musculoskeletal model, which includes more or less all of the relevant articular bones and muscle actuators, plus soft tissue deformations, raises the challenge of simulating natural body movements by controlling hundreds of contractile muscles. We have begun to confront t...

Physiological Approach to the Lower Animals

the role of copper in nature, the mechanism of action of carcinogenic hydrocarbons and the properties of water at the molecular level in relation to physiological processes. The high standards of the essays in this book are an eloquent and fitting tribute to a great scientist. In the ten years which have elapsed since its first printing, the reputation of Dr. Ramsay's book has grown steadily. I...

Mobile Tracking in Mixed Line-of-Sight/Non-Line-of-Sight Conditions: Algorithm and Theoretical Lower Bound

The paper investigates the problem of mobile tracking in mixed line-of-sight (LOS)/non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions. The motion of mobile station is modeled by a dynamic white noise acceleration model, while the measurements are Time of Arrival (TOA). A first-order Markov model is employed to describe the dynamic transition of LOS/NLOS conditions. An improved Rao-Blackwellized particle filte...
