A feasibility study on using soft insoles for estimating 3D ground reaction forces with incorporated 3D-printed foam-like sensors by Nick Willemstein, Saivimal Sridar, Herman van der Kooij, Ali Sadeghi

“…In addition, the identified HW models showed the best estimation performance (on average root mean squared (RMS) error 9.3%, $ {R}^2 $ =0.85 and mean absolute error (MAE) 7%) of the vertical, mediolateral, and anteroposterior GRFs, thereby showing that these sensors can estimate the resulting 3D force reasonably well. These results were comparable to or outperformed other works that used commercial force-sensing resistors with machine learning. …”

New paleomagnetic data on the Permian-Triassic sedimentary sections of the Moscow syneclise by A.M. Fetisova, R.V. Veselovskiy, M.P. Arefiev

“…The resulting paleomagnetic poles demonstrate a so-called “far-side effect”, i.e., they are shifted relatively to the expected position of the mean Permian-Triassic paleomagnetic pole of the East European Platform along the paleomeridian towards the opposite side of the sampling site. Presumably, the reasons are (a) an inclination shallowing in the studied sedimentary rocks, (b) the presence of a significant contribution of non-dipole components to the main geomagnetic field about 250 million years ago, (c) local tectonics. …”
