What is the meaning of locomotion? Locomotion is the method of movement where unicellular or multicellular organisms use their limbs or muscular system (or specialized organelles in the case of unicellular organisms) to move from one physical location to a different location. Locomotion is utilized ...
The meaning of the responses becomes clear if one considers how such stimuli could occur in real life. When a person or an animal steps on a sharp object, it is impossible to withdraw the leg because it supports the weight of the body. Hence, accelerating the step minimizes the damage ...
(Figure 11.15). If a similar stimulus is applied in the swing phase, the response is seen in the major flexor muscles, and the leg “steps over” the invisible obstacle. The meaning of the responses becomes clear if one considers how such stimuli could occur in real life. When a person...
By definition, protozoans are nonfilamentous heterotrophs, meaning that they acquire carbon in the form of organic carbon from external sources, without the use of absorptive structures that are funguslike (i.e., hyphaelike). Instead, protozoans may ingest organic carbon substrates using phagotrophy...
(meaning “barefoot” in Czech) is the first-ever small nerve proprioceptive material commercially available in the health and fitness industry. The skin on the bottom of the foot contains thousands of (small nerve) proprioceptors, which are sensitive to different stimuli including texture, ...
It shall be noted that the integrated-gradients method is applicable to the state–action mapping that is differentiable, meaning that it can analyse the influence of feedback states of motor skills that can be represented by differentiable machine learning models. However, it cannot be applied to...
and can therefore lead to overreaching ecological interpretations. Further, principal component (PC) axes can only represent few aspects of shape variation at a time, meaning that using PC axes as shape variables in hypothesis tests cannot account for the entire shape at once. We combine both the...
Also, positive ICENT guarantees nonzero IUG, meaning that there must be global information not present locally. Therefore, this global information would have to come from some source of coupling (mechanical or neural) within the system. A positive value for ICO indicates some net redundancy ...
