Quantitative Measures of a Robot's Ability to Balance
Robotics: Science and Systems XI, 2015 This paper shows how to define quantitative measures of a robot’s ability to balance itself actively on a single point of support. These measures are expressed as ratios of velocities, and are called velocity gains. This paper builds on earlier work in this area by showing how these gains can be defined and calculated for the case of a general planar ...

Relationship between Walking Ability and Balance Function
The Japanese Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2006 バランス機能は歩行能力に影響する因子の一つと考えられる．そこで歩行能力の代表的な評価法である最大歩行速度 (Maximum Walking Speed: MWS) と各種バランス検査を，若年者群と高齢者群で検討した．身長は若年者群ではMWS, Functional reach (FR)，タンデム肢位での重心動揺，Timed Up and Go test (TUG) と相関したが，高齢者群では関係は認められなかった．若年者群ではMWSは，タンデム肢位外周面積，TUGと相関したが，これは身長の影響によると考えられた．高齢者群ではMWSは，FR，タンデム肢位総軌跡長，TUGと相関した．高齢者では歩行能力は静的・動的両者のバランス機能に影響されることが示唆された．

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Gut microbial features can predict host phenotype response to protein deficiency. [PDF]
, 2018 Malnutrition remains a major health problem in low- and middle-income countries. During low protein intake, <0.67 g/kg/day, there is a loss of nitrogen (N2 ) balance, due to the unavailability of amino acid for metabolism and unbalanced protein ...

Structural dynamics of the plant hormone receptor ETR1 in a native‐like membrane environment
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The present study unveils the structural and signaling dynamics of ETR1, a key plant ethylene receptor. Using an optimized nanodisc system and solution NMR, we captured full‐length ETR1 in a native‐like membrane environment. Our findings reveal dynamic domain uncoupling and Cu(I)‐induced rigidification, providing the first evidence of metal‐triggered ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is of huge importance, resulting in over 1 million deaths each year. Here, we describe how a new drug, enmetazobactam, designed to help fight resistant bacterial diseases, inhibits a key enzyme (GES‐1) responsible for AMR. Our data show it is a more potent inhibitor than the related tazobactam, with high‐level computation
