MASI
No full textProvides the MASI (.osim) file that can be used in OpenSim.
The ‘Musculoskeletal model for the
Analysis of Spinal Injury’ (MASI) wascreated in OpenSim (OpenSim
3.2, Simbios, Stanford, CA, USA) and Matlab software (Matlab 2013b, MathWorks,
Natick, MA, USA).MASI inherited the structure of
the OpenSim head and neck model (Vasavada Model) which we embedded into a full body model (‘2354’),
and was implemented to provide, for the first time, the linkage between
cervical spine, upper limb, torso and lower limbs. MASI comprises 35
rigid anatomical segments, 78 upper and lower cervical muscles divided into 19
muscle groups, along with 23 torque actuators representing lower and upper limb
muscles’ actions. Motion between body segments was permitted via 34
joints and 30 kinematic constraints. To incorporate the effect of upper limb
position, a new scapula-clavicular joint (SCJ) (combining the joint motions of
the acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints) was developed and included
in the MASI, replacing the welded scapula-clavicular joint of the original head
and neck model. The model had 43 degrees of freedom, though these were reduced
to 37 by locking the metatarsophalangeal and wrist joints into the neutral
position.

No full textLanguage Theory, Scientific Terminology, and Linguistic Controversies in Epicurus’ On Nature
No full textIn Book XXVIII of On Nature, Epicurus deals with epistemological issues related to the use of language. More specifically, he seems to be interested, on the one hand, in addressing the problem of errors that can emerge from the use of ordinary language in the philosophical sphere and, on the other, in indicating the most suitable tools and methods to justify this use, as well as to verify its correctness. The author, moreover, seems to be engaged in a double dialectical confrontation: firstly, he directly addresses his pupil Metrodorus, in a work of revision of previously held theories; secondly, he attacks the theories and linguistic practices of some non-Epicurean opponents. The aim of the present article will be to examine the nature and purpose of this confrontation in light of a broader examination of the various linguistic polemics present in other extant parts of On Nature. First we will examine some columns of Book XXVIII in which Epicurus engages in a dialectical confrontation with Metrodorus and his opponents. Second we will analyze some passages from other books of On Nature, namely II, XIV and, above all, XXV, which report other linguistic polemics in which Epicurus was involved. Finally we will try to show that a comparison with the other parts of On Nature helps to clarify the object, aim and nature of the polemic that runs through Book XXVIII. As we will try to show, this investigation can contribute to a more precise delineation of Epicurus’ theory of language and linguistic practice in the philosophical sphere, while perhaps also clarifying some notoriously problematic and widely debated aspects of his semantic theor

filippo-masi/NICE: Neural integration for constitutive equations
No full text<p>This library provides the implementation in PyTorch of the Neural Integration for Constitutive Equations (NICE) method. The algorithms in this repository are implemented using torch and torchdiffeq libraries, thus are fully supported to run on GPU.
The NICE (Neural Integration for Constitutive Equations) method is a novel deep learning tool for the automatic discovery of constitutive equations from small data - partial and incomplete material state observations. The approach builds upon the solution of the initial value problem describing the time evolution of the material state and leverages the framework provided by neural differentials equations. NICE can learn accurate, consistent, and robust constitutive models from incomplete, sparse, and noisy data collecting simple conventional experimental protocols.</p>
