We propose to learn generate grasping motion for manipulation with a dexterous hand using implicit functions. With continuous time inputs, the model can and smooth plan. name proposed Continuous Grasping Function (CGF). CGF is learned via generative modeling Conditional Variational Autoencoder 3D human demonstrations. will first convert large-scale human-object interaction trajectories robot de...

In this article, an effective method to control a power system during emergency conditions is presented. Based on Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP), a new technique is developed to solve the Load Shedding and Generation Reallocation (LSGR) optimization Problem. The objective function consists of terms of load curtailments and deviations in generation schedules. The constraints are power system var...

The purpose of this study is to present the long-term outcomes of allogenic hand transplantations performed at our centre. Between January 2001 and October 2002, five allogeneic limb transplantations were performed in three patients (two bilateral forearm and one left hand transplantation). Donors and recipients were matched for blood types (ABO/Rh) and had at least two human leukocyte antigen ...

Passive forces play a large role in hand function after tetraplegia. Most individuals with tetraplegia choose not to undergo surgical reconstruction of hand function and, therefore, depend on the passive properties of their musculoskeletal system to perform functional tasks. Knowledge of the levels of force needed to perform many of these tasks is lacking. Understanding the mechanics of produci...

This paper argues that prosodic annotation and modeling should be combined for facilitating analyses of prosodic functions that invariably require perceptual judgments. It compares perceptual prosodic annotations of prominent syllables and phrase boundaries with labels yielded by the combination of linguistic information from a TTS-front end, model-based prosodic features, as well as a model of...

Methods Patients diagnosed as JIA according to ILAR criteria in Pediatric Rheumatology Department of Dokuz Eylül University Hospital were consecutively enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Demographic, clinical and functional characteristics of patients were evaluated. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, patients’ and physicians’ global VAS, number of involved joints were recorded as nonfunction...

Hand osteoarthritis (OA) usually results in decreased strength and function of the hand and deficits in motor control. However, no data exists on the relationship among these symptomatological features of hand OA. Ten females with hand OA and ten matched, nondisabled control subjects participated in this study. The outcomes of the Moberg Pickup Test (MPUT) and other functional hand tests were c...
