In the current research, the muscle equivalent linear damping coefficient which is introduced as the force-velocity relation in a muscle model and the corresponding time constant are investigated. In order to reach this goal, a 1D skeletal muscle model was used. Two characterizations of this model using a linear force-stiffness relationship (Hill-type model) and a nonlinear one have been implemented. The OpenSim platform was used for verification of the model. The isometric activation has been used for the simulation. The equivalent linear damping and the time constant of each model were extracted by using the results obtained from the simulation. The results provide a better insight into the characteristics of each model. It is found that the nonlinear models had a response rate closer to the reality compared to the Hill-type models.

Borehole strainmeters are essential tools for observing crustal deformation. In long-term observational applications, the dynamic changes in crustal deformation over multi-year scales often exceed the single measurement range of borehole strainmeters. Expanding the measurement range while maintaining high precision is a critical technical challenge.

This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of an inductive conductivity sensor with a double tuning impedance matching network to enhance sensitivity and improve linearity. The sensor's equivalent circuit model is analyzed and verified through simulation, and impedance matching is shown to significantly increase the sensor's output signal, particularly at low conductivity measurements. Double tuning impedance matching expands the frequency response range and optimizes power transfer efficiency, achieving a higher power factor across a broader frequency range.

The lipid content of nine dinoflagellates was analyzed using flow cytometry to compare lipid levels. Additionally, the correlation between lipid content, cell size, and carbon content in dinoflagellates was evaluated using BODIPY 505/515 staining. The flow cytometry side scatter (SSC) effectively represented relative cell size, showing a linear relationship with the equivalent spherical diameter (ESD).

Selecting channels for motor imagery (MI)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) systems can not only enhance the portability of the systems, but also improve the decoding performance. Hence, we propose a cross-domain-based channel selection (CDCS) approach, which effectively minimizes the number of EEG channels used while maintaining high accuracy in MI recognition. The EEG source imaging (ESI) technique is employed to map scalp EEG into the cortical source domain.
