A simple model of mechanical effects to estimate metabolic cost of human walking

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji, Amy Roning Wu

Since the advent of energy measurement devices, gait experiments have shown that energetic economy has a large influence on human walking behavior. However, few cost models have attempted to capture the major energy components under comprehensive walking c ...

Small Heterodimer Partner Deletion Prevents Hepatic Steatosis and When Combined With Farnesoid X Receptor Loss Protects Against Type 2 Diabetes in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

Nuclear receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and small heterodimer partner (SHP) are important regulators of bile acid, lipid, and glucose homeostasis. Here, we show that global Fxr(-/-) Shp(-/-) double knockout (DKO) mice are refractory to weight gain, gl ...

Persistent spatial clusters of high body mass index in a Swiss urban population as revealed by the 5-year GeoCoLaus longitudinal study

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Joël Chételat, Murielle Bochud, Solange Catherine Gaillard

OBJECTIVE Body mass index (BMI) may cluster in space among adults and be spatially dependent. Whether and how BMI clusters evolve over time in a population is currently unknown. We aimed to determine the spatial dependence of BMI and its 5-year evolution i ...

Hierarchical Fingertip Space: A Unified Framework for Grasp Planning and In-Hand Grasp Adaptation

Aude Billard, Miao Li

We present a unified framework for grasp planning and in-hand grasp adaptation using visual, tactile, and proprioceptive feedback. The main objective of the proposed framework is to enable fingertip grasping by addressing problems of changed weight of the ...
