This paper considers neurological, formational and functional similarities between gestures and signed verb predicates. From analysis of verb sign movement, we offer suggestions for analyzing gestural movement (motion capture, kinematic analysis, trajectory internal structure). From analysis of verb sign distinctions, we offer suggestions for analyzing co-speech gesture functions.

The previous literature has suggested that the hand movement in cospeech gestures and signs consists of a series of phases with qualitatively different dynamic characteristics. In this paper, we propose a syntagmatic rule system for movement phases that applies to both co-speech gestures and signs. Descriptive criteria for the rule system were developed for the analysis video-recorded continuou...

Dystonias are a heterogeneous group of movement disorders characterised by involuntary, sustained contraction of antagonist muscles that causes repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Dystonia is a rare condition. Nonetheless, it is important due to the high morbidity patient's experience. Much of this morbidity results from disability associated with dystonic movement. However, it is less r...

Tooth movement is a biological process of bone remodeling induced by mechanical force. Sclerostin secreted by osteocytes is mechanosensory and important in bone remodeling. However, little is known regarding the role of sclerostin in tooth movement. In this study, models of experimental tooth movement were established in rats and mice. Sclerostin expression was investigated with immunohistochem...

This paper examines the dependence between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and eight energy-focused sectors (including renewable energy coal) across different market conditions investment horizons. adopts both linear non-linear models such as quantile regressions cross-spectral coherency models. Evidence from model suggests that performance of corporations, especially those in sector depends stron...
