A state of remission can be achieved in more and more rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The combination of several RA disease activity measures seems to be important to provide an overall view of disease activity. Remission can be defined by two different approaches: one using a categorical model, requiring criteria for multiple variables to be fulfilled, each with its own threshold value (re...

We analyze systematically composable composite entropy of two Tsallis subsystems with different q indices. H-theorem and thermal balance relation are commented. This report is based mainly on our recent paper [1].

In order to develop a human hand mechanism, a 5-bar finger with redundant actuation is suggested Optimal sets of actuator locatiom and link lengths for the cases of minimum actuator, one, two, and three redundant actuators are obtained by employing a composite design index which simultaneously consider several performance indices such as workspace, isotropic index, and force transmission ratio,...
