Background. Misconduct in sport science research is a detrimental practice, as it affects data reliability and decreases the validity of all research in the long run. Objectives. The objective of this narrative review is to identify the main problems of misconduct in sport science research and point out effective prevention methods. Methods. A literature search was undertaken in "Web of Scien...

Distributed manipulation systems induce motions on objects through the application of many external forces. An actuator array performs distributed manipulation using a planar array of many small stationary elements (which are called cells) that cooperate to manipulate larger objects. Typically, highly dense actuator arrays are modeled as spatially continuous, programmable force fields, although...

In industrial or surgical settings, to achieve many tasks successfully, at least two people are needed. To this end, robotic assistance could be used enable a single person perform such alone, with the help of robots through direct, shared, autonomous control. We interested in four-arm manipulation scenarios, where both feet control arms via bi-pedal haptic interfaces. The complement biological...

We present an agent-based model of manipulating prices in financial markets through spoofing: submitting spurious orders to mislead traders who learn from the order book. Our captures a complex market environment for single security, whose common value is given by dynamic fundamental time series. Agents trade limit-order book, based on their private values and noisy observations fundamental. co...

The use of conventional knockout technologies has proved valuable for understanding the role of key genes and proteins in development, disease states, and complex behaviors. However, these strategies are limited in that they produce broad changes in gene function throughout the neuroaxis and do little to identify the effects of such changes on neural circuits thought to be involved in distinct ...
