A Paradigm Shift to Align Transmission Routes With Mechanisms [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2021 AbstractCurrent infection-control guidelines subscribe to a contact/droplet/airborne paradigm that is based on outdated understanding. Here, we propose to modify and align existing guidelines with a more accurate description of the different transmission routes.

Game Mechanic Alignment Theory
The 16th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games (FDG) 2021, 2021 We present a new concept called Game Mechanic Alignment theory as a way to organize game mechanics through the lens of systemic rewards and agential motivations. By disentangling player and systemic influences, mechanics may be better identified for use in an automated tutorial generation system, which could tailor tutorials for a particular playstyle ...

Bone & Joint Open, 2021 Limb alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) influences periarticular soft-tissue tension, biomechanics through knee flexion, and implant survival. Despite this, there is no uniform consensus on the optimal alignment technique for TKA.

A double-layered elbow exoskeleton interface with 3-PRR planar parallel mechanism for axis self-alignment [PDF]
, 2021 Designing a mechanism for elbow self-axis alignment requires the elimination of undesirable joint motion and tissue elasticity. The novelty of this work lies in proposing a double-layered interface using a 3-PRR planar parallel mechanism as a solution to

Mechanical Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty for Varus Knee Osteoarthritis Leads to Significant Tibial Bone Loss. [PDF]
Cureus, 2022 Background Obtaining a neutral postoperative alignment is said to be a guiding principle for performing a successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There are many different alignment philosophies and surgical techniques to attain the goal of proper ...

Mechanism Design for Ontology Alignment [PDF]
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2017 The aim of the ontology alignment problem is to find meaningful correspondences between two ontologies represented as collections of entities. This problem can be modelled as a novel mechanism design problem on an edge-weighted bipartite graph, where each side of the graph holds each agent's private entities, and the objective is to maximise the agents'

Subspace alignment as a mechanism for binding [PDF]
, 2021 ABSTRACT To choose between options, we must solve two important binding problems. First, the features that determine each options’ values must be appropriately combined and kept separate from the corresponding features of other options. Second, options must be associated with the specific actions needed to select them.

A novel mechanism important for the alignment of microtubules [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2008 Using a live-cell imaging approach to study individual micro-tubules, we have compared microtubule behavior between net-like and aligned cortical arrays. In contrast to previous studies, a steep angled collision between the growing end of a microtubule and a preexisting microtubule was found to favor crossover.
