Fischer Projections

Fischer Projections

Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines. While...

Kinematic Equations - I

Kinematic Equations - I

When an object moves with constant acceleration, the velocity of the object changes at a constant rate throughout the motion. The kinematic equations of motions are derived for such cases where the acceleration of the object is constant. The first kinematic equation gives an insight into the relationship between velocity, acceleration, and time. We can see, for example:

Newman Projections

Newman Projections

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as...

Kinematic Equations - II

Kinematic Equations - II

The second kinematic equation expresses the final position of an object in terms of its initial position, the distance traveled with the initial constant velocity, and the distance traveled due to a change in velocity. Similar to the first kinematic equation, this equation is also only valid when the acceleration is constant throughout the motion of an object.
Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200 m long ramp. If its initial velocity is 10 m/s and it accelerates at 2 m/s2, then the...

Kinematic Equations for Rotation

Kinematic Equations for Rotation

In mechanics, when one observes a rigid body in rotational motion with constant angular acceleration, it is possible to establish equations for its rotational kinematics. This process resembles how linear kinematics are dealt with in simpler motion studies.
For instance, imagine a point A on a rigid body engaged in circular motion. The translational velocity of this particular point can be calculated by taking the time derivatives of the displacement equation, which essentially measures the...

Space Trusses

Space Trusses

A space truss is a three-dimensional counterpart of a planar truss. These structures consist of members connected at their ends, often utilizing ball-and-socket joints to create a stable and versatile framework. The space truss is widely used in various construction projects due to its adaptability and capacity to withstand complex loads.
At the core of a space truss lies the fundamental unit known as the tetrahedron. This structure is composed of six members that form a three-dimensional shape...

Background:

The human musculoskeletal system exhibits significant kinematic and dynamic redundancy.
Existing literature lacks a comprehensive framework to quantify these redundancy effects on motor coordination.

Purpose of the Study:

To formally address and quantify factors influencing motor coordination in redundant musculoskeletal systems.
To develop a theoretical framework for analyzing redundancy in task, joint, and muscle spaces.

Main Methods:

Utilized linear algebra and projection operators to model redundancy effects in null space.
Extended kinematic and dynamic relations to incorporate null space projections.
Developed a method for quantifying redundancy across multiple operational spaces.

Main Results:

Presented a framework for quantifying redundancy in task, joint, and muscle spaces.
Evaluated muscle space projection for segmental reflexes and feasible muscle force computation.
Demonstrated the framework's utility in estimating joint reaction loads and identifying force variability.

Conclusions:

The proposed null space projection method provides a complete description of redundant musculoskeletal systems.
The framework facilitates applications in motor control, robotics, and understanding physiological factors.
Ignoring null space forces can lead to misinterpretation of results, particularly in joint load estimations.
