Immediate effect of ankle exoskeleton on spatiotemporal parameters and center of pressure trajectory after stroke

Silvestro Micera, Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur, Mouhamed Zorkot

Gait impairments is a common condition in post-stroke subjects. We recently presented a wearable ankle exoskeleton called G-Exos, which showed that the device assisted in the ankle's dorsiflexion and inversion/reversion movements. The aim of the current pi ...

Recent advances in trajectory inference from single-cell omics data

Bart Deplancke, Wouter Saelens

Trajectory inference methods have emerged as a novel class of single-cell bioinformatics tools to study cellular dynamics at unprecedented resolution. Initial development focused on adapting methods based on clustering or graph traversal, but recent advanc ...

Great Balls of Fire: A probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard related to ballistics – A case study at La Fossa volcano, Vulcano Island, Italy

Pierino Lestuzzi

We present a probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard posed by volcanic ballistic projectiles (VBP) and their potential impact on the built environment. A model named Great Balls of Fire (GBF) is introduced to describe ballistic trajectories of VBPs a ...

Hydraulic performance of stepped spillway aerators and related downstream flow features

Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier

To protect spillways against cavitation damage, adding a small air concentration to the flow close to the invert is efficient. Aerator performance on smooth chutes was therefore well studied in terms of air entrainment and downstream air concentration deve ...

Design and Analysis of a Soft Pneumatic Actuator with Origami Shell Reinforcement

Jamie Paik, Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Gunjan Agarwal

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) are versatile robotic components enabling diverse and complex soft robot hardware design. However, due to inherent material characteristics exhibited by their primary constitutive material, silicone rubber, they often lack r ...

Constrained Reachability and Trajectory Generation for Flat Systems

Timm Faulwasser

We consider the problem of trajectory generation for constrained differentially flat systems. Based on the topological properties of the set of admissible steady state values of a flat output we derive conditions which allow for an a priori verification of ...

Nonadiabatic Molecular Dynamics Based on Trajectories

Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod, Marine Eva Fedora Bouduban

Performing molecular dynamics in electronically excited states requires the inclusion of nonadiabatic effects to properly describe phenomena beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. This article provides a survey of selected nonadiabatic methods based on ...

On trajectory-based nonadiabatic dynamics: Bohmian dynamics versus trajectory surface hopping

Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod

In this work, we present a complete derivation of the NonAdiabatic Bohmian DYnamics (NABDY) equations of motion. This approach naturally emerges from a transformation of the molecular time-dependent Schrodinger equation in the adiabatic representation of t ...

Role of sampling in evaluating classical time autocorrelation functions

Jiri Vanicek, Tomas Zimmermann

We analyze how the choice of the sampling weight affects efficiency of the Monte Carlo evaluation of classical time autocorrelation functions. Assuming uncorrelated sampling or sampling with constant correlation length, we propose a sampling weight for whi ...

SeTraStream: Semantic-Aware Trajectory Construction over Streaming Movement Data

Zhixian Yan

Location data generated from GPS equipped moving objects are typically collected as streams of spatio-temporal (x,y,t) points that when put together form corresponding {\em trajectories}. Most existing studies focus on building ad-hoc querying, analysis, a ...

Direct observation of the full transition from ballistic to diffusive Brownian motion in a liquid

Sylvia Jeney, Branimir Lukic

At timescales once deemed immeasurably small by Einstein, the random movement of Brownian particles in a liquid is expected to be replaced by ballistic motion. So far, an experimental verification of this prediction has been out of reach due to a lack of i ...

Efficient sampling avoids the exponential wall in classical simulations of fidelity

Jiri Vanicek, Tomas Zimmermann, Cesare Mollica

We analyze the efficiency of available algorithms for the simulation of classical fidelity and show that their computational costs increase exponentially with the number of degrees of freedom. Then we present an algorithm for which the number of trajectori ...

Long Term Real Trajectory Reuse Through Region Goal Satisfaction

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Ronan Boulic, Junghyun Ahn, Stéphane Gobron, Horesh Beny Ben Shitrit, Mirko Raca, Quentin Silvestre

This paper is motivated by the objective of improving the realism of real-time simulated crowds by reducing short term collision avoidance through long term anticipation of pedestrian trajectories. For this aim, we choose to reuse outdoor pedestrian trajec ...

Beating the Efficiency of Both Quantum and Classical Simulations with a Semiclassical Method

Jiri Vanicek, Cesare Mollica

While rigorous quantum dynamical simulations of many-body systems are extremely difficult (or impossible) due to exponential scaling with dimensionality, the corresponding classical simulations ignore quantum effects. Semiclassical methods are generally mo ...
