The slippage of the driving wheels of a tractor in a cultivated soil and stubble [PDF]
The article analyses the relation between the slippage of driving wheels and the traction characteristics of a tractor. The indicators for estimating wheel slippage are a coefficient of tractor weight force utilization for driving wheel grip and a ...

Pinching Force Changes by Modulating the Interaction Gain Over the Fingertip
Motor control between the thumb and index finger is critical for holding and interacting precisely with an object. In case of an improper pinching force, especially when it stems from sensory problems, modulating the interaction gain by changing the ...

We propose GRIP, a scalable global routing technique via Integer Programming (IP). GRIP optimizes wirelength and via cost without going through a layer assignment phase. GRIP selects the route for each net from a set of candidate routes that are generated based on an estimate of congestion generated by a linear programming pricing phase.

Longitudinal child data: What can be gained by linking administrative data and cohort data?
Linked administrative data sets are an emerging tool for studying the health and well-being of the population. Previous papers have described methods for linking Canadian data, although few have specifically focused on children, nor have they described ...

Fitts’ Law in the Control of Isometric Grip Force With Naturalistic Targets
Fitts’ law models the relationship between amplitude, precision, and speed of rapid movements. It is widely used to quantify performance in pointing tasks, study human-computer interaction, and generally to understand perceptual-motor information ...

Associations between diabetes and both cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality are modified by grip strength: evidence from UK Biobank, a prospective population-based cohort study [PDF]
OBJECTIVE Grip strength and diabetes are predictors of mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but whether these risk factors interact to predispose to adverse health outcomes is unknown.
