Approximations of continuous Newton's method: An extension of Cayley's problem
Continuous Newton's Method refers to a certain dynamical system whose associated flow generically tends to the roots of a given polynomial. An Euler approximation of this system, with step size $h=1$, yields the discrete Newton's method algorithm for ...

Abstract Studies of small muscle mass exercise (SMME) have revealed that the peripheral O2 transport–utilization cascade is a dynamically regulated system in which perfusive and diffusive components can be selectively amplified, redistributed and mechanically limited depending on contraction pattern, recruitment strategy and intramuscular pressure ...

Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?
ABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by

ABSTRACT Purpose Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI), categorized by repetitive ankle sprains, has previously been studied utilizing either questionnaires or ankle sprain simulators. However, a quantitative tool that safely creates an unexpected ankle sprain during gait has not been proposed.
