This paper describes a computational approach to modeling the complex mechanical properties of muscles and tendons under physiological conditions of recruitment and kinematics. It is embodied as a software package for use with MatlabTM and Simulink that allows the creation of realistic musculotendon elements for use in motor control simulations. The software employs graphic user interfaces (GUI...

Information is limited for the exposure levels of airborne hazardous substances in swine feed buildings that are not completely enclosed. Open-style breeding, growing and finishing swine houses in six farms in subtropical Taiwan were studied for the airborne concentrations of endotoxin, dust, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. The air in the farrowing and nursery stalls as partially ...

We study the 4d Heisenberg spin glass model with Gaussian nearestneighbor interactions. We use finite size scaling to analyze the data. We find a behavior consistent with a finite temperature spin glass transition. Our estimates for the critical exponents agree with the results from ε-expansion.

The autumnal coloration of foliage in deciduous trees represents a most spectacular phytogerontological phenomenon. It is primarily due to the progressive loss of chlorophyll coinciding with the partial retention of carotenoids. Leaf senescence is a developmental process that is aimed at the recycling of nutrients to perennial parts of the tree for reuse upon the production of new foliage in sp...

Evaluation of electron microscopic images of serial sections is a time-consuming process requiring a high level of expertise. Here we present an algorithm to ease and accelerate this process. It is a modification of an algorithm successfully used in computer vision for object recognition. However, rather than recognising individual structures, we estimate the spatial mapping of a whole section ...

Stimulus response latency is the delay between stimulus onset and the evoked modulation in neural activity. A common technique to estimate latencies involves binning the spike arrival times to form a peri-stimulus histogram. This histogram is smoothed using a fixed bandwidth. The estimated latency is the first time following stimulus onset in which the smoothed histogram exceeds the midpoint be...

ÐStudies on the re ̄ex modulation of vertebrate locomotion have been conducted in many di€erent laboratories and with many di€erent preparations: for example, lamprey swimming, bird ̄ight, quadrupedal walking in cats and bipedal walking in humans. Emerging concepts are that re ̄exes are task-, phaseand context-dependent. To function usefully in a behaviour such as locomotion wherein initial condi...

The use of Recurrent Neural Networks is not as extensive as Feedforward Neural Networks. Training algorithms for Recurrent Neural Networks, based on the error gradient, are very unstable in their search for a minimum and require much computational time when the number of neurons is high. The problems surrounding the application of these methods have driven us to develop new training tools. In t...
