The purpose of this study was to record the discharge characteristics of tibialis anterior motor units over a range of target forces and to import these data, along with previously reported observations, into a computational model to compare experimental and simulated measures of torque variability during isometric contractions with the dorsiflexor muscles. The discharge characteristics of 44 m...

In the previous chapter, we discussed the problem of point estimation, that is, finding something like best estimates for the values of unknown parameters. Simply quoting such numbers as the result of the measurement is not entirely satisfactory, however. At the very least, this lacks any idea of how precise the measurements may be. We now rectify this deficiency, with a discussion of interval ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of the alveolar recruitment maneuver and the breath stacking technique with respect to lung mechanics and gas exchange in patients with acute lung injury. METHODS Thirty patients were distributed into two groups: Group 1 - breath stacking; and Group 2 - alveolar recruitment maneuver. After undergoing conventional physical therapy, all patients received b...

In many contexts, type-2 fuzzy sets (T2 FS) are obtained from a type-1 set to which we wish add uncertainty. However, in the current representation, there is no restriction on shape of footprint uncertainty and embedded (ESs) that can be considered acceptable. This leads, usually, loss semantic relationship between T2 FS concept it models. As consequence, interpretability some ESs explainabilit...
