Effects of aging-related muscle degeneration on dynamic stability during walking: a musculoskeletal computer simulation study by Shoma Kudo, Masahiro Fujimoto, Akinori Nagano

“…To assess the effects of aging-related deficits in muscle function on dynamic stability during walking, five models with different muscle properties were created, namely young adult (YA) and older adult (OA) models, models with reduced maximum isometric muscle force, reduced maximum muscle contraction velocity, and prolonged muscle deactivation time (∆F, ∆V, and ∆T models, respectively). …”

Nitric Oxide - Its Importance in Swallowing, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy by ABR Thomson

“…NOS reduced the number of oropharyngeal swallows and the incidence of primary peristalsis in both smooth and striated muscle, and reduced the amplitude of peristalsis and smooth muscle contraction. This suggests that nitric oxide is a functional neurotransmitter in the central pattern generator responsible for swallowing and the central control of esophageal peristalsis. …”

Lightweight mobile Ad Hoc network authentication scheme based on blockchain by Xu ZHANG, Xin MA

“…In order to solve the problem that the existing authentication method can’t track the vulnerable of malicious nodes and depends on the centralized authentication center,based on the de-centralization,tamper-proof and traceable characteristics of blockchain technology,a distributed lightweight mobile Ad Hoc network authentication scheme was proposed.It included the establishment of peer-to-peer network,the design of certification ledger and the choice of consensus mechanism.Then the role of smart contracts was analyzed and discussed.In this scenario,when the maximum transmission delay τ_max between a pair of peers is given,the relationship between node authentication timeδand network size <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <msubsup> <mi>N</mi> <mi>t</mi> <mrow> <mtext>all</mtext></mrow> </msubsup></math></inline-formula>is satisfied with<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow><mo>(</mo> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <msubsup> <mi>N</mi> <mi>t</mi> <mrow> <mtext>all</mtext></mrow> </msubsup> </mrow> <mn>3</mn> </mfrac> <mo>+</mo><mn>7</mn></mrow> <mo>)</mo></mrow><msub> <mi>τ</mi> <mrow> <mtext>max</mtext></mrow> </msub> <mo>≤</mo><mi>δ</mi><mo>≤</mo><mn>3</mn><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><msubsup> <mi>N</mi> <mi>t</mi> <mrow> <mtext>all</mtext></mrow> </msubsup> <mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><msub> <mi>τ</mi> <mrow> <mtext>max</mtext></mrow> </msub></math></inline-formula> .…”
