Exploring foot pressure patterns for skiing experience classification in a simulator-based environment

Abstract This study investigated whether deep learning can distinguish groups of ski experience based on plantar-pressure distributions measured during simulator-based training and whether classifier outputs change during repeated training. Weight-shift images from 27 participant...

Geometric Deformation Does Not Imply Task-Relevant Information Degradation in Neural Representations

Geometric change in a neural representation is often treated as evidence that information has been altered or lost, although these are distinct properties of representation dynamics. We formalize this distinction by separating geometric deformation, Delta(t), from task-relevant i...

SRLM: Attentive fusion of structural representation into language model for legal textual entailment

Legal textual entailment (LTE) remains a major challenge in legal natural language processing due to the difficulty in capturing complex logical relations and the scarcity of annotated legal data. To address these limitations, this paper introduces SRLM (Structural Representation...

Platonic Projection Structures-Based Information Dynamics (PPS-ID): Recursive Transformation of Observable Information

Recursive AI processes transform and reuse observable information across successive stages. Platonic Projection Structures (PPS) describes how latent information becomes observable at a single stage. We introduce PPS-Based Information Dynamics (PPS-ID) to extend this perspective...

Distributionally Robust Decision-Making under Ambiguity: Case Study of Water Environmental Management

Decision-making under uncertainty is ubiquitous in environmental project planning. Environmental processes such as a streamflow discharge often present a subexponential memory, where the autocorrelation persists for a long time. In addition, optimization problems driven by enviro...

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

ABSTRACT Plastics face a durability paradox where their utility causes environmental intractability. We resolve this by embedding a photo‐controlled molecular module, a pyrrolidone carboxylamide derived from itaconic acid, directly into the polymer backbone. While stable during u...

Assignment of 39K NMR signals for potassium–graphite intercalation compound KC8

Abstract Potassium–graphite intercalation compounds (K–GICs) have potential applications in potassium-ion batteries. Although previous research has reported solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on K–GICs, the assignment of their 39K NMR spectra remains unclea...

Lack of Effect of Chlordiazepoxide on the Number of Falls in a Novel Falling‐Trap Test in Male C57BL / 6N Mice

Behavioral tests in mice and other animals are widely used to study anxiety and to evaluate the efficacy of anxiolytic compounds. However, the validity of behavioral tests used to assess anxiety-like behavior has been questioned because their results are often inconsistent and no...

Identifying the interactive pathways shaping health satisfaction among Chinese older adults with tourism participation

As global aging accelerates, improving older adults’ health satisfaction is a key policy and public health concern. While tourism has been associated with well-being, the pathways through which it is associated with health satisfaction remain unclear. It is not well understood wh...
