THE IMPACT OF FEATURE EXTRACTION AND SELECTION FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF GAIT PATTERNS BETWEEN ACL DEFICIENT AND INTACT KNEES BASED ON DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION MODELS

The impact of feature extraction and selection for the classification of gait patterns between ACL deficient and intact knees based on different classification models

Abstract The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) plays an important role in stabilizing translation and rotation of the tibia relative to the femur.Individuals with ACL deficiency usually demonstrate alterations in gait characteristics.Evidence indicates that walking speed, alterations in kinetics and kinematics on the ACL deficient limb, and inter-li

Anthropogenic interferences lead to gut microbiome dysbiosis in Asian elephants and may alter adaptation processes to surrounding environments

Abstract Human activities interfere with wild animals and lead to the loss of many animal populations.Therefore, efforts have been made to understand how wildlife can rebound from anthropogenic disturbances.An essential mechanism to adapt to environmental and social changes is the fluctuations in the host gut microbiome.Here we give a comprehensive

Geological and taphonomic context for the new hominin species Homo naledi from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa

We describe the physical context of the Dinaledi Chamber within the Rising Star cave, South Africa, which contains the fossils of Homo naledi.Approximately 1550 Doors specimens of hominin remains have been recovered from at least 15 individuals, representing a small portion of the total fossil content.Macro-vertebrate fossils are exclusively H.nale
