Identifying gait quality metrics sensitive to changes in lower limb constraint
Cogent EngineeringGait quality is of significant interest in studies investigating interventions for individuals with gait pathology. A primary challenge in gait analysis is selecting an appropriate metric which adequately reflects aberrant deviations and provides an ...

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013 The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly we consider nonlinear nonsmooth elliptic boundary value problems, and also related parabolic initial boundary value problems that model in a simplified way steady-state unilateral contact with Tresca friction

Paraborg: Paramedic Cyborg Insects for In Situ Emergency Drug‐Delivery
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work introduces Paraborg, a human‐supervised paramedic cyborg‐insect platform that combines controllable locomotion, onboard imaging, and an auto‐injection mechanism for in situ drug‐delivery. By demonstrating reliable navigation, target stabilization, injector launch, and multi‐insect teamwork, the study extends cyborg insects from survivor ...

Updatable Closed‐Form Evaluation of Arbitrarily Complex Multiport Network Connections
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.The inverse design of electrically large wave devices often uses reduced‐order multiport models with discrete optimization, requiring many evaluations of complex interconnections between subsystems that differ only in a few blocks. This paper introduces a closed‐form framework enabling efficient Woodbury low‐rank updates of related, previous ...

An Elastic Frictional Contact Problem with Unilateral Constraint
Mediterranean Journal of Mathematics, 2018 We consider a mathematical model which describes the equilibrium of an elastic body in contact with two obstacles. We derive its weak formulation which is in a form of an elliptic quasi-variational inequality for the displacement field. Then, under a smallness assumption, we establish the existence of a unique weak solution to the problem.

Keeping Pace or Falling Behind? The Depth of Latin American Trade Agreements
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines whether Latin American countries are keeping pace with global trends in trade agreement depth or falling behind. Using 681 agreements (1970–2019), we develop the Depth Index of Trade Agreements (DITA) to weight provisions endogenously through factor analysis based on co‐occurrence patterns.

On Unilateral Constraints, Friction and Plasticity [PDF]
, 2011 Three intermingled themes run in all the following : variational statements, the duality in paired linear spaces, the convexity of sets or functions. These are precisely three leading themes of Optimization Theory, as it has been developed for several decades; in fact the study of optimization problems started many progresses of modern convexity theory,
