the need for simulation of human foot mechanism has made researchers and engineers move towards different patterns to describe this movement. in this regard, optimal solutions such as energy consumption, accuracy, etc. are of utmost importance. in this paper, efforts have been made to present a new solution by designing a fully two-dimensional six-bar mechanism with one degree of freedom so tha...

Although there has been considerable research on the analysis of the second order effects of movement (i.e., the analysis of the patterns, similarities, or characteristics of trajectories), Gschwend and Laube (2012) argue that not enough research has addressed the analysis of first-order effects (i.e., the impact of the environmental context in which movement takes place). In this paper we outl...

OBJECTIVE The relations between acoustic measures and their articulatory bases have rarely been tested in dysarthria but are important for diagnostic and treatment purposes. We tested the association between acoustic measures of F2 range and F2 slope with kinematic measures of tongue movement displacement and speed in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and healthy controls spe...

In this paper we propose a probabilistic model to parameterize human interactive behaviour from human motion. To Support the model taxonomy, we use Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), proposed by Rudolph Laban [11], to characterize human non-verbal communication. In interpersonal communication, body motion carries a lot of meaningful information, useful to analyse group dynamic behaviors in a wide r...

Induced movement, illusory movement in a stationary stimulus resulting from adjoining movement, has received steady experimental investigation over the last 70 years or so. It is observed under different viewing conditions in a wide variety of displays that differ considerably in overall size and in form of inducing and induced stimuli. Explanations have been diverse, some being based on relati...

Theoretical research in the area of machine translation usually involves the search for and creation of an appropriate formalism. An important issue in this respect is the way in which the compositionality of translation is to be defined. In this paper, we will introduce the anaphoric component of the Mimo formalism. It makes the definition and translation of anaphoric relations possible, relat...
