The benefits of functional electrical stimulation during cycling (FES-cycling) have been ascertained following spinal cord injury.The instrumented pendulum test was applied to chronic paraplegic patients to investigate the effects of FES-cycling of different duration (20-min vs.40-min) on biomechanical and electromyographic characterization of knee
A Bottom Up Perspective to Understanding the Dynamics of Team Roles in Mission Critical Teams
There is a long history, dating back to the 50 s, which examines the manner in which team roles contribute to effective team performance.However, much of this work has been built on ad hoc teams working together for short periods of time under conditions of minimal stress.Additionally, research has been conducted with little attention paid to the i
Optimizing beam transport in rapidly compressing beams on the neutralized drift compression experiment-II
The Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment-II (NDCX-II) is an induction linac that generates intense pulses of 1.2 MeV helium ions for heating matter to extreme conditions.Here, we present recent results on optimizing beam transport.The NDCX-II beamline includes a 1-m-long drift section downstream of the last transport solenoid, which is filled w
TECHNOLOGIES ACCORDING TO DESIGN AS DIDACTIC EXPERIENCES IN COMPLEMENTARY FACILITIES
A teaching experience is presented in which the development of the practical work of the subject Facilities II of the professional career of Architecture and Urbanism of the National University of the Northeast allowed to observe the incorporation of materials, technologies and innovative procedures in front of traditional slogans imparted The ligh
POU-SLAM: Scan-to-Model Matching Based on 3D Voxels
Purpose: Localization and mapping with LiDAR data is a fundamental building block for autonomous vehicles.Though LiDAR point clouds can often encode the scene depth more accurate and steadier compared with visual information, laser-based Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) remains challenging as the data is usually sparse, density variable
