Proprioceptive integration in motor control
Abstract figure legend A virtual reality (VR)‐based reaching task reveals how proprioceptive feedback affects the perceived and actual movement speed of active movements, as well as the perceived hand position. When an antagonist vibration was applied, subjects tended to overestimate their movement speed while also decreasing their actual movement ...

Cortical responses to balance perturbations persist without active postural control
Abstract figure legend A robotic balance simulator was used to test whether cortical responses to balance perturbations are contingent on active balance control or instead reflect the detection of unexpected motion. Participants experienced identical support‐surface rotations (toes‐up and toes‐down) while actively controlling balance or while being ...

Biomechanics and Evolution of the Primate Tongue
ABSTRACT Primate tongue morphology and function are critical to understanding the evolution of feeding, swallowing, and vocalization. In this paper, we examine the primate tongue as a muscular hydrostat with regionally specialized neuromuscular compartments. We integrate anatomical, kinematic, and biomechanical modeling approaches to analyze how muscle

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

Generalised Kinematic Single‐Impact and Multi‐Impact Models for Rocking Structures
ABSTRACT The rocking motion is fundamental in earthquake engineering, as it reflects the dynamic behaviour of many structural systems. However, simulating the impacts during rocking motion remains a challenging topic, as they occur in a very short time, generate high impulsive forces, cause sudden changes in velocities and result in rapid energy losses.

Surface Reordering During Layer‐by‐Layer Growth on SrTiO3
Surface structures (left) derived from DFT‐constrained fitting to crystal truncation rods measured by synchrotron X‐ray scattering (right) after each monolayer of deposition during the MBE growth of SrTiO3${\rm SrTiO}_{3}$ (001). The bottom panel shows the bare substrate, the middle panel shows island formation upon deposition of a single layer of SrO,

A patient‐specific Fluid–structure Interaction (FSI) model of aortic stenosis was verified against in vitro experiments using a mock‐loop circulatory system with patient‐specific calcified and non‐calcified valve models under varying flow conditions. The in vitro experiments were replicated in the FSI model.
