Estimation of Absolute States of Human Skeletal Muscle via Standard B-Mode Ultrasound Imaging and Deep Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Objective: To test automated in vivo estimation of active and passive skeletal muscle states using ultrasonic imaging. Background: Current technology (electromyography, dynamometry, shear wave imaging) provides no general, non-invasive method for online estimation of skeletal intramuscular states.

What the %PCSA? Addressing Diversity in Lower-Limb Musculoskeletal Models: Age- and Sex-related Differences in PCSA and Muscle Mass [PDF]
Musculoskeletal (MSK) models offer a non-invasive way to understand biomechanical loads on joints and tendons, which are difficult to measure directly. Variations in muscle strength, especially relative differences between muscles, significantly impact model outcomes.

The Mega-MUSCLES Treasury Survey: X-ray to infrared Spectral Energy Distributions of a representative sample of M dwarfs [PDF]
We present 5-1x10^7 Angstrom spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for twelve M dwarf stars covering spectral types M0-M8. Our SEDs are provided for community use as a sequel to the Measurements of the Ultraviolet Spectral Characteristics of Low-mass Exoplanetary Systems (MUSCLES) survey.

Modeling and Simulation of Robotic Finger Powered by Nylon Artificial Muscles- Equations with Simulink model [PDF]
This paper shows a detailed modeling of three-link robotic finger that is actuated by nylon artificial muscles and a simulink model that can be used for numerical study of a robotic finger. The robotic hand prototype was recently demonstrated in recent publication Wu, L., Jung de Andrade, M., Saharan, L.,Rome, R., Baughman, R., and Tadesse, Y., 2017 ...

Unsupervised Anomaly Detection on Implicit Shape representations for Sarcopenia Detection [PDF]
Sarcopenia is an age-related progressive loss of muscle mass and strength that significantly impacts daily life. A commonly studied criterion for characterizing the muscle mass has been the combination of 3D imaging and manual segmentations. In this paper, we instead study the muscles' shape.
