Robustness Of Muscle Synergies In Upper Limb Rotational Motion, Ashar Turky Abd
Robustness Of Muscle Synergies In Upper Limb Rotational Motion, Ashar Turky Abd
Theses and Dissertations
Muscle synergies (MS) are defined as the specific co-activation of muscle groups to accomplish functional movements. The hypothesis of muscle synergies helps simplify the motor coordination problem by decreasing the numbers of central nervous system signals. The purpose of this research was to investigate the number and the structure of muscle synergies for the upper limb 1) across participants for one power level 2) when the power levels increased and at a constant speed [50 r.p.m] and 3) including the synergies for pull and push for each participant during arm cycling on a stationary hand-cycle ergometer. We asked eight healthy …
Design, Fabrication And Validation Of A Hand-Wore Device For Assisted Object Grasping For The Visually Impaired, Xiaoping Liu
Design, Fabrication And Validation Of A Hand-Wore Device For Assisted Object Grasping For The Visually Impaired, Xiaoping Liu
Theses and Dissertations
Grasping a target object is very challenging to a visually impaired individual due to vision loss. An object grasping task can be divided into three sub-tasks: detecting the target ob-ject, maintaining hand-object alignment while approaching the object, and taking a hold of it. Vision loss makes the first two sub-tasks impossible. To help a visually impaired per-son re-gain the capability in performing the two sub-tasks, a hand-worn assistive device is designed. The device consists of control and visual guidance. Control involves an exo-skeleton mechanism worn by user’s right hand. The mechanism, driven by two micro-motors, drags the thumb to move …
Internet Of Vehicles: Architecture, Applications, And Security Requirements Of Cognitive Radio Adhoc Vehicular Network, Sachin Sharma
Internet Of Vehicles: Architecture, Applications, And Security Requirements Of Cognitive Radio Adhoc Vehicular Network, Sachin Sharma
Theses and Dissertations
In recent years, the demand for spectrum has increased exponentially. Cognitive radio (CR) technology provides the capability to dynamically sense the spectrum for available channels, estimate them and select a good channel. This thesis introduces the concept of dynamic spectrum leasing methodology (DSLM), a paradigm based on game theoretic concepts. DSLM takes into account the demand for spectrum by secondary users and the willingness of primary users to relinquish spectrum in a restricted manner, making possible spectrum leasing as a long-term commercially viable concept. This thesis also introduces the notion of a Cognitive Radio Network Service Provider (CRNSP) and the …
Protecting Non-Public Information In Community Banks: A Study For Implementing Risk Based Framework For Protecting Non Public Personal Information, Bruce Lee Upton
Protecting Non-Public Information In Community Banks: A Study For Implementing Risk Based Framework For Protecting Non Public Personal Information, Bruce Lee Upton
Theses and Dissertations
In today’s world it seems that cyber hackers, cyber terrorists, and cyber activists make headlines almost every day. Information security has become a major concern for bankers from both a reputation and regulatory examination standpoint. Bank management is tasked to answer a litany of questions. Is my bank secure? What impact does this security have on productivity? What solutions are cost effective? What impact will a security breach have on my bank and respective customer base? Additionally, many bankers don’t have on-staff expertise to answer these questions. Having a framework where bankers can know how likely it is they will …
Investment Plan Against Malicious Attacks On Power Networks: Multilevel Game-Theoretic Models With Shared Cognition, Hamzeh Davarikia
Investment Plan Against Malicious Attacks On Power Networks: Multilevel Game-Theoretic Models With Shared Cognition, Hamzeh Davarikia
Theses and Dissertations
The work reported in this thesis aims at developing a practical tool for utility transmission planners to protect power network from potential attacks. To efficiently address the problem, we propose a new formulation for defender which has a promising result than its counterpart. Moreover, the optimum defending strategy in power network is modeled which return the best protecting strategy based on the defender resources. Going beyond the common approaches in literature, defender deception is mathematically formulated by releasing misinformation about his plan in the shared cognition based model. The problems are formulated as tri-level mixed-integer non-linear programming and exact linearization …
