Theory of Fast Walking With Human-Driven Load-Carrying Robot Exoskeletons
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 Reaching and maintaining high walking speeds is challenging for a human when carrying extra weight, such as walking with a heavy backpack. Robotic limbs can support a heavy backpack when standing still, but accelerating a backpack within a couple of ...

Effect of backpack carrying on forced vital capacity in cystic fibrosis: A randomized crossover-controlled trial. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Backpack carrying impacts lung function in healthy children but the effect in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) is unknown.Three backpack positions were tested: no backpack (NB), a 12.5% body-weight backpack carried bilaterally (BB) or unilaterally (UB),

Shaping Decision Models for Stochastic Dynamic Optimization Problems via Reinforcement Learning
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With rising customer expectations and increasing computational potential, many transport, manufacturing, and production operations face real‐time decision making in stochastic dynamic environments. Decision makers must find and adapt complex plans that are effective now but also flexible with respect to future developments.

Cirsium arvense management with electrical weed control and clopyralid
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Electrical weed control (EWC) treatments reduced Cirsium arvense biomass by ≤95% and suppressed new shoot emergence by 70–95%, achieving control comparable to clopyralid. Sequential or integrated applications enhanced efficacy, demonstrating EWC's potential as a nonchemical tool for perennial weed management in orchard systems.

Backpacking-Induced Paresthesias [PDF]
Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2003 To evaluate the presence of numbness and paresthesias among long-distance backpackers on the Appalachian Trail.Backpackers who hiked a minimum of 7 days were interviewed while hiking. Following their hike, a written questionnaire was mailed to the participants that explored the incidence of injuries and illnesses among hikers. Paresthesias were defined

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Alcoholic extracts from flowers, leaves, and shoots of Russian sage decreased downy mildew severity on grapevine leaf disks. Fractionation followed by metabolomic analysis revealed putative terpenoids as the main components of the active fractions. Specifically, 7‐methylrosmanol, 12‐O‐methylcarnosic acid, carnosic acid, and carnosol were identified as ...
