Background: Older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have a higher risk of gait impairments and falls; yet, the effects of multimodal interventions, including combinations of exercises with cognitive training, on improving their mobility remain unclear. Objectives: To investigate the sy ...

This paper proposes a distributed fault-tolerant cooperative control framework for multiple fixed-wing UAVs (FUAVs), grounded on a complete six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) nonlinear dynamic model. The architecture integrates position and attitude control, explicitly accounting for actuator faults and multiple input constraints. In the outer loop, an adapti ...

Managers often need to stay motivated and effectively motivate others. Therefore, they should rely on evidence-based interventions to effectively motivate and self-motivate. This research investigated how self-determination theory-based interventions affect employees' motivation dynamics and motivational consequences within short time frames (i.e., wi ...

Background: Lifestyle factors like exercise and cognitive stimulation might help improve cognitive performance in older adults. However, studies investigating this, reported mixed results. Most of the data supporting the benefit of exercise comes from cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, or s ...

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can pose significant challenges for athletes, leading to significant morbidity, loss of playing time, and impaired performance. Neuromuscular training programs, such as the FIFA 11+, have shown promise in reducing the risk of lower extremity injuries in this high-risk population. Purpose/hypothesis: T ...

This study investigates the interactions between musicianship and two auditory cognitive processes: auditory working memory (AWM) and stream segregation. The primary hypothesis is that AWM could mediate a relationship between musical training and enhanced stream segregation capabilities. Two grou ...

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the subjective performance evaluations on pilot trainees' aircraft control abilities and their brainwave dynamics reflected in the results from EEG microstate analysis. Specifically, we seek to identify correlations between distinct microstate patterns and each dimension included in th ...

Drowsy driving is a leading cause of commercial vehicle traffic crashes. The trend is to train fatigue detection models using deep neural networks on driver video data, but challenges remain in coarse and incomplete high-level feature extraction and network architecture optimization. This paper pioneers the use of the CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre- ...
