Dear Editor, Quadratic programming problems (QPs) receive a lot of attention in various fields science computing and engineering applications, such as manipulator control [1]. Recursive neural network (RNN) is considered to be powerful QPs solver due its parallel processing capability feasibility hardware implementation [2]. In particular, large number RNN models, gradient network, are proposed...

In this paper, two multirate repetitive controllers are proposed, namely, repetitive intersample disturbance rejection (RIDR) and repetitive perfect tracking control (RPTC). First, in order to develop RIDR, multirate intersample disturbance rejection algorithm is reviewed which was proposed by authors for general digital control systems with restricted sampling frequency. Second, RPTC method is...

The recognition of nonrigid motion, particularly that arising from human movement (and by extension from the locomotory activity of animals) has typically made use of high-level parametric models representing the various body parts (legs, arms, trunk, head etc.) and their connections to each other. Such model-based recognition has been successful in some cases; however, the methods are often di...

Srs2 dismantles presynaptic Rad51 filaments and prevents its re-formation as an anti-recombinase. However, the molecular mechanism by which Srs2 accomplishes these tasks remains unclear. Here we report a single-molecule fluorescence study of the dynamics of Rad51 filament formation and its disruption by Srs2. Rad51 forms filaments on single-stranded DNA by sequential binding of primarily monome...

Biological motion perception, the recognition of human action depicted in sparse dot displays, is supported by a network of brain areas including the human posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS). We have used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to temporarily disrupt cortical activity within the pSTS and subsequently measured sensitivity to biological motion. Sensitivity was ...

BACKGROUND Shoulder injuries account for up to 17% of all golf related musculoskeletal injuries. One cause may be the repetitive stresses applied to the lead shoulder during the backswing and follow-through phases, which may contribute to the frequency of these injuries. The "elite" golfer may be pre-disposed to developing a shoulder injury based upon the reported adaptations to the glenohumera...

The goal of our research is to develop an assistive controller for robotic rehabilitation of the upper extremity after stroke. The controller is used to provide robotic assistance to participants to help them to track a desired motion trajectory required for the rehabilitation task in an accurate and concentrated manner. This rehabilitation task is designed to ensure concentrated repetitive mot...
