An adequate language is a prerequisite for progress in any area of science, including movement science. Notions of structural units and synergies and the principle of minimal interaction are revisited, discussed, and illustrated with a few examples from recent studies. Equilibrium-point hypothesis is considered an example of identifying significant variables in the control of a voluntary movement.

We generalize Dress and Müller’s main result in [5]. We observe that their result can be seen as a characterization of free algebras for certain monad on the category of species. This perspective allows to formulate a general exponential principle in a symmetric monoidal category. We show that for any groupoid G, the category !̂G of presheaves on the symmetric monoidal completion !G of G satisfi...

Examination of normal shaping dynamics and immediate and long-term responses to blastoderm cutting in zebrafish and loach embryos prior to the onset of gastrulation and during the course of epiboly revealed that anteroposterior (AP) and dorsoventral (DV) polarity formation is connected with shaping of the blastoderm circumferential region, which stretches along and shrinks across its movement a...

background: low- level laser therapy has been used to stimulate the orthodontic tooth movements (otm) previously. furthermore, in the orthodontic treatments accompanying tooth extractions, the adjacent teeth move towards the extraction sites and close the space in some cases. then, the adjacent tooth movements must be prevented in the treatments requiring space. laser stimulates and at some dos...

The orientation-preservation conditions and approximation errors of a dual-parametric bi-quadratic finite element method for the computation of both radially-symmetric and general nonsymmetric cavity solutions in nonlinear elasticity are analyzed. The analytical results allow us to establish, based on an error equi-distribution principle, an optimal meshing strategy for the method in cavitation...

We study balanced model reduction for stable bilinear systems in the limit of partly vanishing Hankel singular values. We show that the dynamics admit a splitting into fast and slow subspaces and prove an averaging principle for the slow dynamics. We illustrate our method with an example from stochastic control (density evolution of a dragged Brownian particle) and discuss issues of structure p...

We consider a general class of discrete-space linear partial dynamic equations. The basic properties of solutions are provided (existence and uniqueness, sign preservation, maximum principle). Above all, we derive the following main results: first, we prove that the solutions depend continuously on the choice of the time scale. Second, we show that, under certain conditions, the solutions descr...

Cloud computing has come to stay and is expanding rapidly. The mode of deployment of services has implications for users who store data in the cloud and risk exposure to potentially severeconsequences. The safe use of cloud computing services is therefore necessitated. Drawing on the principle of self-preservation and the theory of protection motivation, this paper develops a conceptual framewo...

When a quantum system interacts with an external environment, it undergoes the loss of quantum correlation (decoherence) and the loss of energy (relaxation) and eventually all of the quantum information becomes classical. Here we show a general principle to use unitary operations to establish and preserve particular non-equilibrium states in arbitrary relaxing quantum systems. We elucidate thes...

We study balanced model reduction for stable bilinear systems in the limit of partly vanishing Hankel singular values. We show that the dynamics can be split into a fast and a slow subspace and prove an averaging principle for the slow dynamics. We illustrate our method with an example from stochastic control (density evolution of a dragged Brownian particle) and discuss issues of structure pre...
