Imprecise dynamic walking with time-projection control [PDF]
, 2018 We present a new walking foot-placement controller based on 3LP, a 3D model of bipedal walking that is composed of three pendulums to simulate falling, swing and torso dynamics.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Sick leave in the United Kingdom Post Office, 1850–1908
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This paper uses a large individual‐record‐level dataset on sick leave to examine adult morbidity in the United Kingdom between 1850 and 1908. From 1859 onwards postal workers were eligible to receive a pension or gratuity when they retired or were forced to stop working due to ill health.

Comparing Outcomes Between the Over-the-Top and All-Epiphyseal Techniques for Physeal-Sparing ACL Reconstruction: A Narrative Review. [PDF]
, 2019 A variety of techniques are used for physeal-sparing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction; however, there is no clear consensus on the ideal surgical technique, the frequency of complications, and how to best avoid growth disturbance.

Quantum phase transitions in the exactly solved spin-1/2 Heisenberg-Ising ladder
, 2012 Ground-state behaviour of the frustrated quantum spin-1/2 two-leg ladder with the Heisenberg intra-rung and Ising inter-rung interactions is examined in detail.

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The fatigue and fracture behavior of self‐piercing rivet (SPR) joints between AA6016 aluminum sheets (1–2 mm) and DX54D steel (0.95 mm) was studied under 90°, 45°, and 0° multiaxial loading. Pure shear (90°) loading produced the highest fatigue strength, whereas multiaxial (45°) loading resulted in reduced performance, with pure tension (0 ...

Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences, 1988 Within a prospective study of back function and pain before and after basic military training, the leg length inequality (LLI) was assessed, in steps of less than 0.5 cm. (equal), 0.5-1.5 cm, 1.6-2.5 cm, 2.6-3.5 cm and more than 3.5 cm. Around six hundred young men were examined three times over a period of four years. LLI of 0.5-1.5 cm was found in 32%

Vessel arrival planning with full information
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Planning efficiency and timely arrival of vessels is crucial to smooth operations of maritime transport networks, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimizing operational costs. Coordination between vessel operators and terminals has the potential to reduce costs, fuel consumption, and waiting time.
