The geometries and topologies of leaves, flowers, roots, shoots, and their arrangements have fascinated plant biologists and mathematicians alike.As such, plant morphology is inherently mathematical in that it describes plant form and architecture with geometrical and topological techniques.Gaining an understanding of how to modify plant morphology
The 2016 Frank Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (Lautenberg TSCA) Misc Connectors amended the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to mandate protection of susceptible and highly exposed populations.Program implementation entails a myriad of choices that can lead to different degrees of public health protections.Well-document
Abstract Chronic pain alters the experience of owning a body and leads to disturbances in bodily perception.We tested whether women with fibromyalgia (FM) are receptive to bodily illusions of owning a visible and progressively invisible body in immersive virtual reality (VR), and what modulates this experience.Twenty patients participated in two ex
For children with severe cerebral palsy (CP), social and emotional interactions can be significantly limited due to impaired speech motor function.However, if it is possible to extract continuous voluntary control signals from the electromyograph (EMG) of limb muscles, then EMG may be used to drive the synthesis of intelligible speech with controll
Recent research in deep Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) faces the challenges of vanishing/exploding gradient issues, training instability, and feature redundancy.Orthogonality Regularization(OR), which introduces a penalty function considering the orthogonality of neural networks, could be a remedy to these challenges but is surprisingly not pop
