Alterations in hip joint loading have been associated with diseases such as arthritis and osteoporosis. Understanding the relationship between gait speed and hip joint loading in healthy hips may illuminate changes in gait mechanics as walking speed deviates from preferred. The purpose of this study was to quantify hip joint loading during the gait cycle and identify differences with varying sp...

This paper presents a new method to generate arm gestures which reproduces the dynamical properties of human movements. We describe a model of synergy, defined as a coordinative structure responsible for the flexible organization of joints over time when performing a movement. We propose a generic method which incorporates this synergy model into a motion controller system based on any iterativ...

Research both in marketing and economics so far has treated product attributes as exogenous when estimating demand and supply models. While this assumption may be justified in the short run, in the long run managers make product-positioning decisions by taking into account the demand they face relative to the competitive landscape. In this paper, we take a first step toward exploring the positi...

Knee joint is the most important joint in the human body. 3D CAD modelling is the most important part for analysis Reverse engineering is one of the process by which 3D CAD model can be easily generated. Different techniques available for generating CAD models. The paper describes the methodology applied in the development of an anatomically detailed three-dimensional knee model from 3D laser s...

Recent empirical evidence highlights the importance of asymmetries in the distribution of asset returns in both their marginal behavior in terms of skewness and their dependence structure in that assets tend to be more highly correlated during bear markets than during market upturns. In this paper we develop a model that is able to address both features of the data based on the construction of ...

This paper presents a humanoid servomotor model that can be used in simulations. Once simulation is a tool that reduces the software production time, it was developed a realistic simulator that own the humanoid features. Based on a real platform, the simulator is validated when compared with the reality.

This report presents an extension of FXML-JAHUEL for modeling hardware components. It illustrates how to jointly model software and hardware components with a simple producer/consumer application on a bi-processor. It briefly discusses the FXML-to-PWARE translation to enable performance-aware simulation.

One attractive candidate as standard risk metric is Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), which has a lot of advantages compared with Value at Risk (VaR). In this paper, I study CVaR as an objective function in a series of optimization problems. I compare the CPU time of the linear programming approach proposed in [14] with that of the fast gradient descent method [5] when increasing the number of ...
