stability and performance are two main issues in motion of bipeds. to ensure stability of motion, a biped needs to follow specific pattern to comply with a stability criterion such as zero moment point. however, there are infinity many patterns of motion which ensure stability, so one might think of achieving better performance by choosing proper parameters of motion. step length and step perio...

Nonparametric control charts can provide a robust alternative in practice to the data analyst when there is a lack of knowledge about the underlying distribution. A nonparametric exponentially weighted moving average (NPEWMA) control chart combines the advantages of a nonparametric control chart with the better shift detection properties of a traditional EWMA chart. A NPEWMA chart for the media...

We have formed a new sample which consists of extended extragalactic radio sources without obvious active galactic nuclei (AGN) in them. Most of these sources appear to be dead double radio sources. These sources with steep spectra (α < -1.8; S ∝ ν) were identified using the 74 (VLSS) and the 1400 MHz (NVSS) surveys and further imaged using the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Giant Meterwave Rad...

Background: During the rehabilitation of individuals post stroke, evaluations are performed in order to discern patient’s prognosis and optimize treatment plan. However, these tests do not focus on gait symmetry, which might be a predictor for outcomes. We aimed correlate symmetry measures subacute stroke patients with outcome find measure that best predicts variability duration. A secondary ai...
