We study nonequilibrium properties of a one-dimensional harmonic chain to whose ends
independent heat baths are attached which are kept at different temperatures. Using the …

We investigate the thermally activated escape of a Brownian particle over a potential barrier
whose height fluctuates with a rate α between the values E+ and E−. We are mainly …

A nonlinear analysis based on Renyi entropy is applied to electromyography (EMG) time
series from back muscles. The time dependence of the entropy of the EMG signal exhibits a …

In a previous study, we reported that the mean square displacement calculated from the surface
electromyography (sEMG) signal of low back muscles exhibits a plateaulike behavior for …

Arboreal locomotion–traveling on the branches, twigs, and trunks of trees and woody shrubs–is
very common among mammals. Most primates, many rodents, marsupials, carnivores, …

This study investigated back muscle fatigability of the erector spinae (ES) muscles during
submaximal contractions with the use of surface electromyography (sEMG). It was important to …

When animals travel on tree branches, avoiding falls is of paramount importance. Animals
swiftly running on a narrow branch must rely on movement to create stability rather than on …

Electromyographic power spectral analysis is a valuable measurement; however, conflicting
results have been reported for amplitude and frequency changes during a fatiguing …

A new paradigm of liquid state dynamics is emerging based upon instantaneous normal
modes INM. 1 The INM are the eigenfunctions of the force constant matrix, or Hessian, for a …

Background: A number of studies have evaluated lumbar spinal muscle fatigue using the
electromyography (EMG) signal. However, back muscle fatigue studies do not consistently …
