Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

A Note On Skew-Normal Distribution Approximation To The Negative Binomal Distribution
, 2011 This article revisits the problem of approximating the negative binomial distribution. Its goal is to show that the skew-normal distribution, another alternative methodology, provides a much better approximation to negative binomial probabilities than ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A healthy gut barrier shields underlying fibroblasts from luminal shear forces, illustrating that “good fences make good neighbors.” Barrier damage exposes fibroblasts to shear stress, inducing cell death and the emergence of stress‐adapted, profibrotic fibroblasts. Sustained shear exposure promotes the formation of stiff aggregates of mechanoadapative

A new class of Skew-Normal-Cauchy Distribution [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper we study a new class of skew-Cauchy distributions inspired on the family extended two-piece skew normal distribution. The new family of distributions encompasses three well known families of distributions, the normal, the two-piece skew ...

Construction and Applications of a Composite Model Based on Skew-Normal and Skew-t Distributions
EconometricsFinancial return distributions often exhibit central asymmetry and heavy-tailed extremes, challenging standard parametric models. We propose a novel composite distribution integrating a skew-normal center with skew-t tails, partitioning the support into ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study investigates how the internal structure of fiber‐reinforced ceramic composites affects their resistance to damage. By combining 3D X‐ray imaging with acoustic emission monitoring during mechanical testing, it reveals how silicon distribution influences crack formation.

Modeling asymmetric compositional data
Acta Scientiarum: Technology, 2014 Compositional data belong to the simplex sample space, but they are transformed to the sample space of the real numbers using the additive log-ratio transformation to allow the application of standard statistical techniques.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by dysregulated T cell responses. RNA helicases, including DExD‐box helicase 21 (DDX21), are pivotal in RNA metabolism, but their role in T cell‐mediated pathology during IBD remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that DDX21 expression in CD4+ T cells correlates with cell cycle and translation ...

The Extended Half-Skew Normal Distribution
, 2023 A new class of densities for modelling non-negative data, which is based on the skew-symmetric family of distributions proposed by Azzalini is introduced.We focus on the model generated by the skew-normal distribution, called Extended Half Skew-Normal ...

Dissecting the Ecological Structure of Health and Disease in the Global Gut Microbiome
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We introduce Wiredancer, a framework that identifies three continuous ecological factors of the gut microbiota. These factors exhibit distinct patterns across health and disease, jointly capturing disrupted ecological stability and offering a new perspective for precision diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.
