A PCA-based bio-motion generator to synthesize new patterns of human running [PDF]
PeerJ Computer Science, 2016 Synthesizing human movement is useful for most applications where the use of avatars is required. These movements should be as realistic as possible and thus must take into account anthropometric characteristics (weight, height, etc.), gender, and the ...

The influence of equine hoof conformation on the initiation and progression of laminitis
Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 862-871, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Background The health and performance of horses are significantly affected by diseases associated with the hoof. Laminitis is a critical hoof disease that causes pain and, potentially, severe hoof and bone pathology. Objective To generate an equine hoof finite element (FE) model to investigate the impact of normal and toe‐in hoof conformations
