Abstract:

Theories of Extended Mind have evolved in waves to reach the present state of disagreement with regard to whether or not external artefacts become part of the mind when used for memory purposes. A four-step approach has been used to address and resolve this disagreement. First, a new component for models of mind which provides a saliency function is provided. This saliency function corresponds to computational elements found necessary in large mainframe computer systems for handling rich data environments. Second, there is introduced a Computational Model of Memory containing the new component

Abstract:

Human standing posture depends on sensory inputs from vision, from touch and from the vestibular system. Humans use these inputs to determine position in the environment and to compensate for external forces resulting in constant swaying. This thesis investigated the creation of a four-degree-of-freedom robotic model of human upright stance using only hip actuation. In this model, the ankles are free so that there is no reaction torque from the ground and balance is provided by torques at the hip joint, resulting in an underactuated system. The mathematical model of the system was first derive

Abstract:

Human operators often employ discontinuous or "bang-bang" control strategies when performing large-amplitude acquisition tasks. The current study applies Variable Structure Control (VSC) techniques to model human operator behavior during acquisition tasks. The result is a coupled, multi-input model replicating the discontinuous control strategy. In the VSC formulation, a switching surface is the mathematical representation of the operator's control strategy. The performance of the Variable Strategy Model (VSM) is evaluated by considering several examples, including the longitudinal control of

The objective of this thesis is to design, analyze, and fabricate an innovative backpack energy harvester for human walking. To model human walking with backpack energy harvester, a simple dual-mass model has been developed and studied first. Dual-mass model for three types of distinct harvesters were investigated, pure damping, traditional rack pinion energy harvester and our MMR based energy harvester. A comparison in the output power and human comfort between the three types of harvesters is discussed. However, the dual-mass model could not effectively represent human walking in real situat

Abstract:

Iron is essential for virtually all organisms, yet it can be highly toxic if not properly regulated. Only the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi has evolved to not require iron (Aguirre et al., 2013).Recent findings have characterised elements of the iron metabolism network, but understanding of systemic iron regulation remains poor. To improve understanding and provide a tool for in silico experimentation, a computational model of human iron metabolism has been constructed. COPASI was utilised to construct a model that included detailed modelling of iron metabolism in liver and intest

Abstract:

We augment a model of endogenous credit cycles by Matsuyama et al.(2016) with human capital to study the impact of human capital on the stability of central economic aggregates. Thus we offer a linkage between human capital formation and credit market instability on a macrolevel combined with an analysis of functional income distribution. Human capital is modelled as pure external effect of production following a learning-by-producing approach. Agents have access to two different investment projects, which differ substantially in their next generations spillover effects. Some generate pecuniar

The three chapters of this thesis explore how previous experience and mental categories shape human judgments. Chapter One provides a sampling explanation for the in-group heterogeneity effect - a tendency of people to perceive the groups they belong to as more heterogeneous than the groups to which they do not belong. It notes that because people are more likely to interact with the in-group members, they will experience more variability of the in-group than the out-group. Chapters 2 and 3 investigate how mental categories affect feature-based inferences when the category of the object

Abstract:

Human pose estimation represents the skeleton of a person in color or depth images to improve a machine’s understanding of human movement. 3D human pose estimation uses a three-dimensional skeleton to represent the human body posture, which is more stereoscopic than a two-dimensional skeleton. Therefore, 3D human pose estimation can enable machines to play a role in physical education and health recovery, reducing labor costs and the risk of disease transmission. However, the existing datasets for 3D pose estimation do not involve fast motions that would cause optical blur for a monocular came

Abstract:

Erythropoeitic protoporphyria (EPP) is a member of the prophyria disease class and is caused by abnormal function of the enzyme ferrochelatase (Fech). In humans it has variable penetrance, but primarily leads to toxicity in the skin and liver to varying degrees. Here I have investigated the nature of EPP progression using the Fechm1PAS mouse model. This mouse contains a point mutation in the fech gene which results in reduced Fech activity to < 7% of wild type, with resultant loss of haem, anaemia and hepatic cholestasis. The phenotypic progression of Fechm1PAS/m1PAS mice was established using

A further, and increasingly important, distinction is between models which rely on innate preferences to guide decision processes and those which make use of experience-based statistics.

This approach permits a virtual human to react online to unanticipated disturbances that occur in the course of performing a task. In particular, we predict the motion of a virtual human in response to two different types of real world disturbances: impulsive and sustained. This stands in contrast to prior approaches where all such disturbances need to be known a priori and the optimal reactions must be computed off line.

Skin is the largest, and arguably, the most important organ of the body.

In view of this, rodents or pigs are utilised to study wound healing therapeutics or to investigate the biological effects of treatments on skin. However, there are many differences between the wound healing processes in rodents compared to humans (contraction vs. re-epithelialisation) and there are also ethical issues associated with animal testing for scientific resea
