The aim of this work is the study of the influence of the MUAP morphology on the compound EMG signal, by means of a simulation model. The simulated EMG is obtained as the sum of the number of MUs chosen on the basis of considerations concerning the muscle fibre dimension, the concentric needle electrode uptake area and the conduction volume. Myopathic, initial neurogenic and chronic neurogenic conditions have been simulated together with the normal case, adopting typical MUAPs. The interspike interval (ISI) has been simulated by means of a stochastic variable. Both time and frequency domain analyses have been performed on the simulated EMG. The results of time domain analysis are in very good agreement with experimental findings in the case of myopathies. The results of frequency domain analysis are in good agreement with experimental findings in the case of chronic neurogenic pathologies. The clinical difficulty encountered in discriminating some myopathic patterns from neurogenic ones can be well understood with the aid of the simulated signal. Since the presence of large potentials influences the value of the skewness of the spectrum, use of this parameter should be recommended in following the progress of neurogenic cases.

We report a computational study of the gas-phase and water-mediated mechanisms for the oxidation of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) by the hydroxyl radical. To achieve reliable results, we employ a dual-level strategy within interpolated single-point energies (VTST-ISPE) at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. In the gas-phase mechanism, we have determined the rate constants by kinetic Monte Carlo simulation in the interval of temperatures of 250-550 K.

Living tissues often have anisotropic and heterogeneous organizations, in which developmental processes are coordinated by cells and extracellular matrix modeling. Cells have the capability of modeling matrix in long distance; however, the biophysical mechanism is largely unknown. We investigated the dynamic remodeling of collagen I (COL) fibril matrix by cell contraction with designed patterns of cell clusters.

This paper addresses the challenges of maintaining stability in heterogeneous vehicle platooning under the influence of communication disruptions caused by Byzantine attacks within a leader-follower framework. To enhance resilience, we propose a nonlinear control strategy tailored for a third-order heterogeneous dynamic model, integrating leader-follower interconnections with adaptable control gains. Utilizing a constant time headway spacing policy with gap adjustments, we derive control gains that secure internal platoon stability.

Introduction: The severity of spinal cord injury (SCI) is closely tied to pulmonary function, especially in cases of higher SCI levels. Despite this connection, the underlying pathological mechanisms in the lungs post-SCI are not well understood. Previous research has established a connection between disrupted sympathetic regulation and splenocyte apoptosis in high thoracic SCI, leading to pulmonary dysfunction.
