Ten-month-old infants' sensitivity to first-order motion (FOM) defined by luminance and second-order motion (SOM) defined by flickering was measured in an eye-tracking paradigm. We used a small single disc or gratings moving horizontally. Although infants could track the SOM of a small disc, they failed to exhibit smooth pursuit eye movements. They also failed to track SOM gratings with smooth pursuit. However, the gain of tracking based on slow eye movement was influenced by the motion direction of SOM in cases when both FOM and SOM were presented simultaneously, suggesting some sensitivity to SOM.

Direct-drive servo systems are extensively applied in biomimetic robotics and other bionic applications, but their performance is susceptible to uncertainties and disturbances. This paper proposes an adaptive disturbance rejection Zeta-backstepping control scheme with adjustable damping ratios to enhance system robustness and precision. An iron-core permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) was employed as the experimental platform for the development of a dynamic model that incorporates compensation for friction and cogging forces.

Intermolecular vibrations are extremely challenging to describe but are the most crucial part for determining entropy and hence free energies and enable, for instance, the distinction between different crystal-packing arrangements of the same molecule via THz spectroscopy. Herein, we introduce a benchmark dataset-V30-containing 30 small molecular dimers with intermolecular interactions ranging from exclusively van der Waals dispersion to systems with hydrogen bonds. All the calculations are performed with the gold standard of quantum chemistry CCSD(T).

Objective: This study was to investigate alterations in contractile properties of the ankle plantar- and dorsiflexors in post-stroke individuals. The correlation between muscle architecture parameters and contractile properties was also evaluated.
Methods: Eight post-stroke individuals and eight age-matched healthy subjects participated in the study.

Despite recent advances in 3D particle image velocimetry (PIV), challenges remain in measuring small-scale 3D flows, in particular flows with large dynamic range. This study presents a scanning 3D-PIV system tailored for oscillatory flows, capable of resolving transverse flows less than a percent of the axial flow amplitude. The system was applied to visualize transverse flows in millimetric straight, toroidal, and twisted ducts.
