Pilot Study: Step Width Estimation with Body-Worn Magnetoelectric Sensors by Johannes Hoffmann, Erik Engelhardt, Moritz Boueke, Julius Welzel, Clint Hansen, Walter Maetzler, Gerhard Schmidt

“…In a direct comparison with OMC markers attached to the magnetic system, we achieved a high estimation accuracy in terms of the mean absolute error (MAE) for step width (≤1 cm) and step width variability (<0.1 cm). In a more general comparison with heel-mounted markers during the swing phase, the standard deviation of the error (<0.5 cm, measure for precision), the step width variability estimation MAE (<0.2 cm) and the Spearman correlation (>0.88) of individual feet were still encouraging, but the accuracy was negatively affected by a constant proxy bias (3.7 and 4.6 cm) due to the different anatomical reference points used in each method. …”

带有反向螺纹的同轴变速单螺杆三维流场分析 "Three dimensional flow field analysis of coaxial variable speed single screw with reverse thread" by 左晓甜，郭树国，金子云 ZUO Xiaotian，GUO Shuguo，JIN Ziyun

“…Because of the assembly of embedded cycloidal gear reducer, the speed of the new single-screw extruder in its mixing region decreased to 1/6 of the conventional screw, causing material convection, accelerating the pressure field changes, so that the speed of the flow more chaotic. Because of the assembly of the reverse thread, the reverse pressure building capacity appeared in the mixing region, under which the material appeared to reverse the speed of the phenomenon of reflux. …”

Assessing High-Order Links in Cardiovascular and Respiratory Networks via Static and Dynamic Information Measures by Gorana Mijatovic, Laura Sparacino, Yuri Antonacci, Michal Javorka, Daniele Marinazzo, Sebastiano Stramaglia, Luca Faes

“…<italic>Goal:</italic> The network representation is becoming increasingly popular for the description of cardiovascular interactions based on the analysis of multiple simultaneously collected variables. However, the traditional methods to assess network links based on pairwise interaction measures cannot reveal high-order effects involving more than two nodes, and are not appropriate to infer the underlying network topology. …”
