As a crucial component of urban economic activities, the layout and optimization of urban commercial spaces directly influence the economic prosperity and quality of life of residents.Therefore, comprehensively and accurately characterizing the distribution characteristics and evolutionary patterns of urban commercial spaces is essential for improv
Aging causes a reorganization of cortical and spinal control of posture
Classical studies in animal preparations suggest a strong role for spinal control of posture.In young adults it is now established that the cerebral cortex contributes to postural control of unperturbed and perturbed standing.The age-related degeneration and accompanying functional changes in the brain, reported so far mainly in conjunction with si
Finite-Time State Estimation for an Inverted Pendulum under Input-Multiplicative Uncertainty
A sliding mode observer is presented, which is rigorously proven to achieve finite-time state estimation of a dual-parallel underactuated (i.e., single-input multi-output) cart inverted pendulum system in the presence of parametric uncertainty.A salient feature of the proposed sliding mode observer retro doublewide design is that a rigorous analysi
Development and validation of a flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) gene expression oligo microarray
Abstract Background Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) has been cultivated for around 9,000 years and is therefore one of the oldest cultivated species.Today, flax is still grown for its oil (oil-flax or linseed cultivars) and its cellulose-rich fibres (fibre-flax cultivars) used for high-value linen garments and composite materials.Despite the wide ind
Barriers to the Right to Health Among Patients of a Public Emergency Department After Implementation of the Affordable Care Act
Purpose: Emergency physicians are witnesses to the impact of socioeconomic determinants of health on physical and psychiatric illness.Understanding structural barriers to the right to health (RTH) serves as a foundation for interventions to promote health equity.This study was performed to determine self-described barriers to fulfillment of the RTH
