The possibility of investigating motor control strategy from myoelectric signal has been variously addressed using needle or surface EMG (sEMG) with controversial results. Nevertheless, sEMG time-domain or frequency domain parameters provided some reliable informations about the phisical phenomena underlying sEMG signal generation. In general, it has been accepted that: • Amplitude content of s...

Workers who experience involuntary job loss suffer from deep and persistent negative consequences. In this paper, we first summarise the evidence on effects of displaced workers’ wellbeing.

This study offers a more dynamic perspective relevance OI nascent ventures. Combining entrepreneurship and theories, we argue that it is key resource-scarce ventures to achieve critical venture-creation milestones. While can hel...

Deep learning, neural networks and other data-driven processing techniques are increasingly used in the analysis of LiDAR point cloud data forest environments due to benefits offered accuracy adaptability new environments. One downsides these practical applications is requirement for manually annotated necessary training networks, which can be time consuming costly attain. We develop an approac...
