Three Synchronized, Miniaturized, Wireless Inertial Measurement Unit Sensors for Automated Gait and Balance Analysis System

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a compact, three IMU wearable system that enables accurate motion capture and robust gait‐feature extraction, thereby supporting reliable machine learning‐based balance evaluation. Accurate assessment of balance is critical for fall prevention and targeted rehabilitation, particularly in older adults and individuals with ...

Adaptive Control of Run‐and‐Tumble Escape in Pursuit‐Evasion Dynamics of Intelligent Active Particles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The pursuit‐evasion game is studied for two adversarial active agents, modeled as deterministic self‐steering pursuer and stochastic, cognitive evader. For a successful evasion strategy, the motile target has to exploit all available pursuer information, e.g., by tuning the tumbling frequency with the pursuer distance.

The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,

Probabilistic Lesion Mapping to Optimize Thalamotomy Targets for Focal Hand Dystonia

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Focal hand dystonia (FHD) severely impairs task‐specific motor control, yet the optimal surgical target for stereotactic intervention remains uncertain. This study aimed to identify the precise thalamic lesion site associated with symptomatic improvement and to clarify its network connectivity. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 164 patients
