Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

Sex Differences in the Association of Simultaneous Decline in Blood Pressure and Decline in Cognition during Aging

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Both high and declining blood pressure (BP) are associated with risk of cognitive decline in older adults, and women have higher rates of hypertension and faster cognitive decline in late‐life. In old age, the relationship between changes in BP and changes in cognition is complex, and although sex differences in cognitive function and decline
