Cortical Mechanisms of Human Pelvic Floor Muscle Synergies
… that underlie human pelvic floor muscle synergies. Our first original experiment involved the study of 20 healthy male controls who were instructed to perform a variety of muscle tasks presumed to be associated with pelvic floor muscle synergies. Surface electromyography (EMG) method was …

Synergies and Trade-offs in Urban Green Infrastructure
… causally informed understanding of how synergies and trade-offs in UGI are conceptualised in research and practice. It addresses four questions: how these synergies and trade-offs are conceptualised; how they are represented and assessed in studies; how plant functional traits influence …

Institutions and social-ecological synergies in Indian agriculture
… sustainability. Systematic knowledge of synergies and causal pathways through which they are generated remains limited. This study addresses this gap by examining the role of institutions as drivers of synergies and tradeoffs between social and ecological outcomes in rainfed agriculture. …

Unsupervised learning of vocal tract sensory-motor synergies
… reduction algorithms in learning muscle synergies and perceptual primitives that reflect the structure in biological systems, an approach to learning sensory-motor synergies via dynamic factor analysis for control of a simulated vocal tract is presented here. This framework is shown to …

Creating global synergies: inter-organizational cooperation in peace operations
Most peace operations (60%), deployed from 1978 to 2009 by international organizations (IOs), were deployed in conflicts in which other international organizations’ peace operations were active at the same time. Multiple simultaneous peace operations increased from around 10% of all peace …

Accurate estimation of drug combination synergies with uncertainty quantification
In pharmacology, there exists a range of different quantification frameworks to estimate the synergistic effect of drug combinations. However, the varying assumptions and the absence of a universal gold standard across these frameworks make it difficult to quantitatively prioritise which drug …

Symbiotic synergies : adaptive framework for polydisciplinary collaboration in performance practice
… and precepts that can facilitate effective synergies between collaborators. The practice conducted as part of this research concerns collaborations between the author’s sonic arts approaches and practitioners using physical movement as their predominant expressive medium. The knowledge borne …

Cost synergies in the commercial banking industry: An econometric examination
… product deregulation by examining whether cost synergies, measured by economies of scope, exist in the production of banking services. Using the multiproduct cost economies approach, the existence of overall and product-specific economies of scope and scale were investigated. The major model …

Mind Tool and Matter- Synergies in Digital Fabrication and Bamboo Craftsmanship
Bamboo is widely used as a construction material in many places across the tropics, presenting a viable approach to locally-sourced, sustainable resource usage. Colombia has a well-established tradition in craftsmanship and design, preserved in a legacy of vernacular and contemporary architecture. …

Sensory modulation of muscle synergies for motor adaptation during natural behaviors
… together into units of activation, or muscle synergies. Previous studies have shown that electromyogram (EMG) signals collected from many muscles during natural behaviors can be reconstructed by linearly combining a few synergies, identified by the non-negative matrix factorization algorithm. …

Synergies among Education Stakeholders in Supporting Elementary Science: A Qualitative Study
The decisions and actions of principals impact the work in schools. The purpose of this research was to investigate the decisions and actions of elementary principals who support science and then compare those to the decisions and actions of teachers and central office staff. The primary question …

Industrial Energy Efficiency: Exploring Synergies with Industry 4.0 Technologies at Operational Level
… promise enhanced efficiency, yet their synergies with energy management remain unexplored. Therefore, to address the research gaps, this thesis aims to develop frameworks for decision-makers to assess the implications of energy management services and energy efficiency measures on …

Comparison of muscle synergies elicited from transcranial meganetic stimulation (tms) and voluntary movements
… (Overduin et al. 2012) demonstrated that muscle synergies decomposed by Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) from EMG patterns evoked by intra-cortical microsimulation (ICMS) in the monkey remarkably matched ones observed in naturalistic reach-and-grasp behaviors. Another study (Ajiboye et al. …

We are in Convergence: Intergenerational Synergies in Twenty-First-Century Children's Media Franchises
… 2020). By demonstrating how intergenerational synergies are cultivated across twenty-first century media franchises, this project promises to shed important light not only on the role that adaptation as process, product, and industry plays in the construction of childhood as a cultural …

Optimizing the structure and movement of a robotic bat with biological kinematic synergies
In this thesis we present methods to optimize the design and flight characteristics of a biologically-inspired bat-like robot. Recent work has designed the topological structure for the wing kinematics of this robot; here we present methods to optimize the geometry of this structure, and to compute …
