REASON FOR PERFORMING STUDY Foot stance in grazing significantly influences hoof conformation and development from foal to yearling age. OBJECTIVES To conduct a longitudinal study to establish if the relationship between motor laterality and uneven front feet persisted in 3-year-old horses at the time of studbook selection and to investigate if such laterality and unevenness might influence t...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the coordination strategy of maximal-effort horizontal jumping in comparison with vertical jumping, using the methodology of computer simulation. METHODS A skeletal model that has nine rigid body segments and twenty degrees of freedom was developed. Thirty-two Hill-type lower limb muscles were attached to the model. The excitation-contra...

This book presents the achievements in research of a special underactuated system called mobile wheeled inverted pendulum (MWIP) over recent years. Taking dynamic modeling, control, and simulation as mainline, this first introduces particularity, control challenges, applications MWIP system. The Lagrange function is adopted to model dynamics two-dimensional three-dimensional systems. Based on d...

Within half a century hospitals for children had become established features of the British medical landscape. By 1900, the formerly entrenched notion that sick children would not prosper away from home had given way to the other extreme. Now, it would seem, children required to be isolated in institutions entirely dedicated to their care. As Roger Cooter has indicated, there was a 'gradual dis...
