Propeller Force-Constant Modeling for Multirotor UAVs from Experimental Estimation of Inflow Velocity by Gaurang Gupta, Shaaban Abdallah

“…Design and simulation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) highly depends on the thrust produced by a motor-propeller combination. The aim of this paper is to model a generalized mathematical relationship between the motor RPM and the corresponding thrust generated for the preliminary design process of low Reynold’s number applications. …”

Biomarkers of Rehabilitation Therapy Vary according to Stroke Severity by Erin Burke Quinlan, Lucy Dodakian, Jill See, Alison McKenzie, Jill Campbell Stewart, Steven C. Cramer

“…When all patients were examined together, no imaging measure changed over time in a manner that correlated with treatment-induced motor gains. However, when also considering the interaction with baseline motor status, treatment-induced motor gains were significantly related to change in three functional connectivity measures: ipsilesional motor cortex connectivity with (1) contralesional motor cortex (p=0.003), (2) contralesional dorsal premotor cortex (p=0.005), and (3) ipsilesional dorsal premotor cortex (p=0.004). …”

Exploring the nature of stuttering through a behavioral-neuro-modulation intervention program in bilinguals with stuttering by Chanchal Chaudhary, Samir Kumar Praharaj, Gopee Krishnan

“…The argument remains whether the stuttering dysfluencies have a motor or a linguistic foundation. Though stuttering is considered a speech-motor disorder, linguistic factors are increasingly reported to play a role in stuttering. …”
