In general, externally powered prostheses do not provide proprioceptive feedback and thus require the user to rely on cognitively expensive visual feedback to effectively control the prosthesis. Applying the concept of extended physiological proprioception (EPP) to externally powered prostheses provides direct feedback to the user's proprioceptive system regarding the position, velocity, and fo...

The T-pattern algorithm of Magnusson’s was used to find emotional process patterns EPP in facial expressions shown by subjects in different social situations (Common and psychotherapeutic situations). The facial behaviour of the participants was coded using EMFACS (Emotional Facial Coding System). Purpose of the study of common situations was to find indicators for the influence of gender and m...

A variational theory (VT), in which the potential energy of a real system is evaluated relative to the hard-sphere system, has been used to investigate the medium’s effects on the pair potential parameters. By adding the medium’s effects to the isolated pair potential, the concept of an ‘‘effective pair potential’’ (EPP) has been introduced. The advantage of such a potential (EPP) over the isol...

ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to explain a modern Hilbert transform method for analysis and identification of mechanical non-linear vibration structures in the case of quasiperiodic signals. This special kind of periodicity arises in experimental vibration signals. The method is based on the Hilbert transform of input and output signals in a time domain to extract the instantaneous dyn...

Nonlinear structural dynamic system identification is often more a subjective art than it is a direct application of some particular method in systems theory. The nonlinear problem is subjective because although there are many analytical methods from which to choose, there is no general approach to detect, characterise, or model input-output relationships in nonlinear systems. This paper is a s...

results of damage prediction in buildings can be used as a useful tool for managing and decreasing seismic risk of earthquakes. in this study, damage spectrum and c4.5 decision tree algorithm were utilized for damage prediction in steel buildings during earthquakes. in order to prepare the damage spectrum, steel buildings were modeled as a single-degree-of-freedom (sdof) system and time-history...

This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) extension mapping for the provisioning and management of Domain Name System security extensions (DNSSEC) for domain names stored in a shared central repository. Specified in XML, this mapping extends the EPP domain name mapping to provide additional features required for the provisioning of DNS security extensions.

This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) extension mapping for the management of Domain Name System (DNS) domain names subject to "grace period" policies defined by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Grace period policies exist to allow protocol actions to be reversed or otherwise revoked during a short period of time after the protocol act...

We investigate the secure degrees of freedom (SDoF) of the K-user MIMO multiple access (MAC) and the two user MIMO interference channel. An unknown number of eavesdroppers are trying to decode the messages sent by the transmitters. Each eavesdropper is equipped with a number of antennas less than or equal to a known value NE . The legitimate transmitters and receivers are assumed to have global...

BACKGROUND Multimodal measurements combining broadband near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P MRS) assessed associations between changes in the oxidation state of cerebral mitochondrial cytochrome-c-oxidase (Δ[oxCCO]) and (31)P metabolite peak-area ratios during and after transient cerebral hypoxia-ischemia (HI) in the newborn piglet. METHODS T...
