The minimum expected energy cost model, which has been proposed as one of the optimization principles for movement planning, can reproduce many characteristics of the human upper-arm reaching movement when signal-dependent noise and the co-contraction of the antagonist's muscles are considered. Regarding the optimization principles, discussion has been mainly based on feedforward control; however, there is debate as to whether the central nervous system uses a feedforward or feedback control process. Previous studies have shown that feedback control based on the modified linear-quadratic gaussian (LQG) control, including multiplicative noise, can reproduce many characteristics of the reaching movement. Although the cost of the LQG control consists of state and energy costs, the relationship between the energy cost and the characteristics of the reaching movement in the LQG control has not been studied. In this work, I investigated how the optimal movement based on the LQG control varied with the proportion of energy cost, assuming that the central nervous system used feedback control. When the cost contained specific proportions of energy cost, the optimal movement reproduced the characteristics of the reaching movement. This result shows that energy cost is essential in both feedforward and feedback control for reproducing the characteristics of the upper-arm reaching movement.

Metabolism and Body Composition, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, LA, 70808, USA.
Background: Recent technological advances have introduced novel methods for measuring body composition, each with unique benefits and limitations. The choice of method often depends on the trade-offs between accuracy, cost, participant burden, and the ability to measure specific body composition compartments.
Objective: To review the considerations of cost, accuracy, portability, and participant burden in reference and emerging body composition assessment methods, and to evaluate their clinical applicability.

Continuum solvation models such as the polarizable continuum model and the conductor-like screening model are widely used in quantum chemistry, but their application to large biosystems is hampered by their computational cost. Here, we report the parametrization of the Miertus-Scrocco-Tomasi (MST) model for the prediction of hydration free energies of neutral and ionic molecules based on the domain decomposition formulation of COSMO (ddCOSMO), which allows a drastic reduction of the computational cost by several orders of magnitude. We also introduce several novelties in MST, like a new definition of atom types based on hybridization and an automatic setup of the cavity for charged regions.

Light-driven molecular rotary motors are nanometric machines able to convert light into unidirectional motions. Several types of molecular motors have been developed to better respond to light stimuli, opening new avenues for developing smart materials ranging from nanomedicine to robotics. They have great importance in the scientific research across various disciplines, but a detailed comprehension of the underlying ultrafast photophysics immediately after photo-excitation, that is, Franck-Condon region characterization, is not fully achieved yet.

The design and fabrication of nanocatalysts with high accessibility and sintering resistance remain significant challenges in heterogeneous electrocatalysis. Herein, a novel catalyst is introduced that combines electronic pumping with alloy crystal facet engineering. At the nanoscale, the electronic pump leverages the chemical potential difference to drive electron migration from one region to another, separating and transferring electron-hole pairs.
