This paper focused on a few ideas that can help in prevention and management of dementia. Facebook is helpful in enhancing social stimulation and interaction. This is one of the key elements of nonpharmacological interventions for de...

The cops and robbers game has been extensively studied under the assumption of optimal play by both the cops and the robbers. In this paper we study the problem in which cops are chasing a drunk robber (that is, a robber who performs a random walk) on a graph. Our main goal is to characterize the “cost of drunkenness.” Specifically, we study the ratio of expected capture times for the optimal v...

Manipulation without prehension is a natural way of handling objects for both humans and machines. Nonprehensile operations are appropriate when complete constraint over the object to be manipulated is either undesirableor impractical, but some control over the object is desired over its entire trajectory, in order to bring the object reliably to a desired final state. Research to date has expl...

Over 500 million people interact daily with Facebook. Yet, whether Facebook use influences subjective well-being over time is unknown. We addressed this issue using experience-sampling, the most reliable method for measuring in-vivo behavior and psychological experience. We text-messaged people five times per day for two-weeks to examine how Facebook use influences the two components of subject...

Treadmill walking gait analyses are frequently conducted due to their ease of collecting multiple strides of data, minimal space required and ability to finely control speed. The question of whether treadmill (TM) walking gait replicates overground (OG) walking gait on a level surface, has been extensively studied. From a spatiotemporal perspective, TM walking on a level surface generally simul...
