MEETING REPORT: THE ALPHA PROJECT: A STAKEHOLDER MEETING ON LUPUS CLINICAL TRIAL OUTCOME MEASURES AND THE PATIENT PERSPECTIVE

Meeting report: the ALPHA project: a stakeholder meeting on lupus clinical trial outcome measures and the patient perspective

Drug development in lupus has improved over the past 10 years but still lags behind that of other rheumatic disease areas.Assessment of prospective lupus therapies in clinical trials has proved challenging for reasons that are multifactorial including the heterogeneity of the disease, study design limitations and a lack of validated biomarkers whic

A novel configuration of two-wheeled self-balancing robot

A novel design of the two-wheeled self-balancing robot (TWSR) was presented in this research.The robot was called two-wheeled self-balancing vehicle-pendulum system (TWSVPS).Compared with TWSR, the TWSVPS has a single pendulum (SP), which was passively jointed hats to the robot body through the O1 axis.The difficulty and complexity of control and m

Averaged Propulsive Body Acceleration (APBA) Can Be Calculated from Biologging Tags That Incorporate Gyroscopes and Accelerometers to Estimate Swimming Speed, Hydrodynamic Drag and Energy Expenditure for Steller Sea Lions.

Forces due to propulsion should approximate forces due to hydrodynamic drag for animals horizontally swimming at a constant speed with negligible buoyancy forces.Propulsive forces should also correlate with energy expenditures associated with locomotion-an important cost of foraging.As such, biologging tags containing accelerometers are being used
