Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

4.1K
Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

2.8K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Schemas

12.5K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.6K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

441
Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.
In the absence of...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics and Biomechanics
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Control Systems Engineering

Background:

  • Human bipedal locomotion exhibits remarkable adaptability to changing environments.
  • Existing computational models struggle to replicate the dynamic adaptability required for activities like sudden direction changes.
  • The complex, unstable nature of multi-link closed-loop systems in bipedality presents a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a novel switching adaptation model for bipedal locomotion.
  • To investigate the potential for autonomous distributed control in achieving adaptable locomotion.
  • To understand the mechanisms underlying human bipedal adaptation for dynamic scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a switching adaptation model based on autonomous distributed control.
  • Implementation of a system where actuators switch roles for propulsion, balancing, and leg swing without central command.
  • Evaluation of the model's ability to perform unpredicted direction changes in simulated bipedal locomotion.

Main Results:

  • The proposed switching mobility model successfully achieved real-time direction changes using only three actuators.
  • The model demonstrated adaptability in dynamic situations, crucial for biological and social activities.
  • A trade-off was observed, with higher motor costs associated with the enhanced adaptability.

Conclusions:

  • The switching adaptation model provides a framework for understanding and predicting human bipedal locomotion adaptation.
  • Autonomous distributed control and actuator role-switching are key mechanisms for dynamic adaptability.
  • This approach offers a prerequisite for understanding universal motor control principles.
