An activity in which the body advances at a slow to moderate pace by moving the feet in a coordinated fashion. This includes recreational walking, walking for fitness, and competitive race-walking.
Questions related to Walking
Walking aids, such as crutches and wheelchairs, depend on the strength of the body to bear the weight, as well as the joints, nuts, friction with the ground, dimensions, and the type of material they are made from.
How does the universe manage all these galaxies?
The cosmic energy (mastermind or grand design) of the universe is showing us, with the strongest evidence, that grouping all the galaxies at a moderate distance from each other and separating them with a special space, called raw space, makes it difficult for galaxies to interact or interfere with each other unless the universe wants them to for a specific reason. The colliding of galaxies is meaningful for the universe and moving them around has its own principles that men will never be able to understand. It is obvious that when the universe was born, it was very small; and by the nature of its growth to get to its current size, it went through billions of these collisions and movement of galaxies.
The raw space between galaxies is a very clear space with no temperature, which makes it impossible for an atom to survive, which means that even sunlight does not exist outside the galaxies. In simple terms, it makes it impossible for us to travel between galaxies because anything that is made of atoms needs temperature to survive. This scenario is one of the characteristics of the universe. Thus, since there is no temperature, there is no wave either based on the physics that we know; therefore, nothing is moving between galaxies, not even wave or gravitational wave as LIGO is claiming.
The separation of galaxies is hard evidence that sunlight is exhausted on the rim of a galaxy. Logically sunlight’s speed varies through its traveling. However, there is no spot in any galaxy without temperature (we communicate with our instruments in space through wave-temperature) . This significant evidence proves that the speed of sunlight cannot be a constant phenomenon as traditionally science has persuaded and impressed upon us. Sunlight travels at different speeds throughout its galaxy only. Therefore, communication in the galaxy is possible but not outside the galaxy where there is no wave-temperature. Here should mention that artificial light (flashlight) is different from sunlight.
When we come into a galaxy, each galaxy has a precise movement that is coordinated with the universe’s rotation, and each solar system is coordinated with the speed of the galaxy. Furthermore, each planet is following the solar system’s laws and movements. In general, there are a lot of things going on in each galaxy, and it needs a well-built organization to put all these planets on the right track in the limited space of a galaxy.
As you can imagine, all the elements in the universe are connected, like a tree. Every building block—from the smallest element of an atom to the largest element of the universe, space—and the universe itself must work together in fine-tuned unison.
The center of the universe is where all the commands are issued, but what kind of power is actually running the universe is a mystery. But this huge organization needs a center to run it. From the universe’s current size, each time when the volume is increased, more new raw galaxies are born. As the universe is rotating, the raw galaxies become independent of each other and slowly spread apart and dive into the universe. It is a mystery as to how the universe manages all these new galaxies and separates them at moderate distances from each other, or maybe on some occasions, it makes one galaxy out of two. All my intuition is explicit in that the universe is a smart entity and feeds itself from the outside. That is why it is working accordingly.
There is the possibility that as the universe is rotating, it is creating tremendous noise; but due to raw space, the noise cannot be transferred. Yet all the large elements in a galaxy make noise that we
can detect due to friction with space, which means it is not black holes as some believe.
Therefore, through the experiments that we have at hand and the science that we are practicing and with the astronaut’s experimentation in space, many more things are becoming transparent. Analyzing this evidence brings us to several conclusions:
1) The universe is not infinite because infinite does not have an inside or an outside to create a movement. Infinite, to our standard, is relative; but an absolute infinite is static and has no movement to create the law of action-reaction.
2) The shape of the universe must be spherical and have such rotation to make all the planets spherical. The only reason that all the planets are spherical and the unification of atoms and molecules in space is circular is that they are coming from the rotational force of the universe. There is no other explanation for this phenomenal shape. It is impossible for a flat universe to duplicate this effect.
3) The rotation of the universe makes zero gravity in space. This phenomenon is supported by scientific evidence as in the astronaut’s experiment.
4) Gravity must be an internal component of atoms, not an external of mass. Science knows that the most common elements in space are hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Empirical evidence shows the spherical unification of these elements in intergalactic space.
5) The rotation of a hollow spherical universe makes all the galaxies have polarities of north/south. Cosmology has proven that our solar system is in this line, and Earth is also located on this line, for same reason Earth has polarity.
6) The rotation of the universe is making the galaxies inside the universe weightless, and the weightlessness of the galaxies must have an opposite rotation from the universe’s rotation to keep the universe weightless as well based on the duality principle.
7) This phenomenon of opposite rotational directions makes any object on any planet in any galaxy stand upright on the surface of that planet due to the torque (i.e., humans can walk on the moon, the rover on Mars can maneuver, and we on Earth are the best evidence of this occurrence).
8) The rotation of the universe is situated in such a manner as to manage these several hundreds of billions of galaxies all around the universe depending on the size of the galaxies and how they are situated in the universe. Evidence shows that galaxies have two different spinning rotations. This remark is showing that the universe must have polarities as well.
9) The spherical shape of the universe is allowing us to analyze an unlimited number of stars and galaxies of a three-dimensional horizon in the space of the universe according to our standard of infinite. But imagine, if the universe is flat, we could not see all these galaxies because of a limited horizon. This is another way to say that the universe is not flat.
10) Since all the scientists observed and agreed that the universe is expanding, it means that the three dimensions of space increase at the same rate, and it makes the distance of each galaxy spread away from each other and stretches the edge of the universe away from the center.
11) Each galaxy has diverse rotation with various speeds based on where they are located in the universe. The south side galaxies have reverse rotation/somersault/positioning from the north side.
12) The universal law is the same everywhere. Thus, there is no locality or non-locality exist in this complete entity of intrinsic universe (all the chemical in the universe must be the same and act the same).
Jakub Jagielski added a reply:
1. There is no "raw space" or pure vacuum. At extremely low density, intergalactic medium still carries matter.
2. Electromagnetic wave ("sunlight") propagates in vacuum, between galaxies.
3. Speed of light is constant in vacuum.
4. Atoms do not "survive". Atoms do not need temperature to exist.
5. There is no evidence for rotating universe.
6. There is still no evidence regarding shape of universe.
7. There is no evidence for galaxies "polarity"
8. Universe as a "smart entity": This is a non-scientific, metaphysical claim without empirical support.

Given the massive time investment for scoring the videos frame-by-frame, and the danger of false negatives because the mice can compensate even thought they are genuinely injured, is it even worth it to verify mouse neuromuscular studies with a foot-fault assay?
I am conducting an experiment on overground walking and studying Maximum Lyapunov Exponent (MLE) for gait stability using kinematic data from a motion capture system. My objective is to optimize the time delay and embedding dimension parameters for MLE calculation in the AP, ML, and VT directions.
I am considering using Bayesian Optimization for parameter tuning. Has anyone applied Bayesian Optimization for nonlinear dynamics or biomechanical studies involving motion capture data? What challenges or considerations should I keep in mind, especially for overground walking experiments? Also, I would appreciate any suggestions for suitable toolkits or frameworks for this optimization process.
I wonder why some people are naturally motivated towards research and never ever get bored reading tons of technical papers and research articles. Basically, they eat, walk, talk and breathe research and do nothing else for entertainment other than research.
PRAGMATICS AND HUMOR
It is amazing how many ways we have of displaying and presenting various types of lexical and pragmatic information. These displays and presentations are at various levels of abstraction, detail and presentation medium. They are chosen to represent time, space, significance, and other relative differences.
Consider the following: Advertisement, Audio-Visual Aid, Bar Graph, Bell-Shaped Curve, Blood Lines, Caricature, Cartoon, Category, Cause-Effect Line, Chain of Command, Chinese Boxes, Drawing, Family Tree, Floor Plan, Flow Chart, Hierarchy, Map, Matrix, Musical Score, Outline, Photograph, Diagram (e.g. Reed Kellogg), Set, Sketch, Time Line, Tree Diagram, Venn Diagram, etc. This lexical and pragmatic information can be presented over various mediums. Consider the following: Book, Card Catalogue, Catalogue, Chalk Board, Cell Phone, Internet, Journal, Magazine, Movie, PowerPoint, Radio, Skype, Teleconference, Telephone, Video Stream, Webinar, White Board, Zoom, etc. And information can be organized alphabetically, numerically, sequentially, spatially, etc.
Lexical items can also be semantically weighted, and related to other lexical items in various ways, and these weightings and relationships can be quantified (always, usually, sometimes, seldom, never, etc. I believe that the most important feature of Linguistics Pragmatics is that it is unlike all of the other levels of linguistics (Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, and Semantics) by being a non-linear approach. Kenneth Pike said that language can be viewed as Particles, as Waves (assimilation or dissimilation), or as Field. It is only Pragmatics that looks at language as Field (see above).
Another very important aspect of Pragmatics is the developing field of Script-Model Grammar. Victor Raskin is a linguist, and linguists tend to deal with one sentence at a time. Script Model Grammar allows linguists to deal with larger texts. Raskin talks about the structure of a joke by saying that everything in the set-up of the joke is ambiguous but primed in the direction of the mundane. What the punch line of a joke does is to change the priming of the joke from the mundane to the dramatic, or scatological, etc. At this point the audience is able to see that the entire joke—set-up and punch line—have been ambiguous, and that the punch line has just changed the priming. Because the punch line allows the audience to see all of the ambiguity of the joke (both mundane and dramatic), the punch line is very epiphanal.
Using the techniques of Script-Model Grammar as developed by Victor Raskin, Salvatore Attardo and others, develop a number of mundane scripts for your computer, as follows:
Eating at a restaurant
Getting a haircut
Getting dressed in the morning
Going to a concert
Going to a movie
Telling a joke or a story
Traveling by car
Traveling by plane
Traveling by subway
Traveling by train
Etc.
Tell your computer the details of the script in terms of a sequence of behaviors. For example, consider the script of “eating at a restaurant.”
1. You get hungry.
2. You look for a restaurant.
3. You find a restaurant.
4. You walk into the restaurant.
5. You’re seated by someone.
6. The server brings you a menu.
7. You look at the menu.
8. You order your meal.
9. You eat your meal.
10. Someone brings you a bill.
11. You pay the bill.
12. You leave a tip.
13. You leave the restaurant.
But what if one or more of the sequence of behaviors is missing? Or what if one or more behaviors are added to the sequence? The computer can then ask, “Why didn’t he leave a tip? Or “Why did he take his bike into the restaurant?” The computer has been taught how to speculate.
What Victor Raskin did for jokes (small texts), Salvatore Attardo and others did for larger texts (paragraphs, chapters plays, novels, trilogies, etc.). And rather than just dealing with the set-up, the punch-line, and the epiphany of the joke, Attardo developed ways of dealing with double entendre, embodiment, irony, metaphor, metonymy, paradox, parody, sarcasm, satire, synecdoche, allegory, and other types of “language play.” An even more important contribution of Script-Model Grammar, is its applications to the field of Artificial Intelligence. This brings us to the contributions of Christian Hempelmann, Anton Nijholt, Dallin Oaks, Leo Obrst, Maxim Petrenko, Graeme Ritchie, Julia Taylor, Willibald Ruch, Oliviero Stock, Carlo Strapparava, Igor Suslov, and Tony Veale.
Note that Noam Chomsky’s Generative Transformational Grammar has now become Deep Learning in the field of computers. Computers are now able to generate both language and images by receiving input from the entire internet, recombining this information in very sophisticated ways, and producing computer-generated material that is the same as human-generated material, only better. It’s very scary.
Although many different processes might produce the general form of a black body spectrum, no model other than the Big Bang has yet explained the fluctuations. As a result, most cosmologists consider the Big Bang model of the universe to be the best explanation for the CMB.
I have been in the camp that believed bison were not part of the natural fauna in the desert grasslands. Individual bones found scattered throughout were as a result of trade among indigenous peoples.
Recently, an individual on one of my nature walks that I guide along the Upper San Pedro River stated she was informed that more recent research has determined they were part of the grasslands in SE Arizona. However, she could not provide me with the research or researchers' name(s).

Any suggestions or Any guidance ?

Parkinson Disease (PD) is a degenerative disease that affects motor function and sequential.
At which level of H&Y stages will this improve?
Short term or long term effect?
Any evidence to help patient and client?
For long Covid this might help. i just thought will send this. The acidic pH in absence of oxygen might help as the SARS-CoV2 virus had issue replicating in high altitude.
Those having long Covid *can do walking without inhaling air in breath.* To the level of comfort. In absence of oxygen the CO2 is built up. Say in cycles of one minute. This elevated CO2 influences the pH to acidic and that will interfere with the viral replication and provide immunity by altering & inactivating the virus. This absence of O2 will be anaerobic glycolysis with high lactic acid.
Acids have shown to denature the protein coat of virus. Here the CO2 formed in the body before being released from lung is being used to slightly alter the pH to inactivate the virus. The lactic acid also in muscles the way it stiffens in absence of oxygen.
When tested in positive long Covid patient One feels relief from symptoms after few days and the symptoms of long Covid reduce in intensity.
One can few times a day 3-4 say while walking for 5-10 minutes . Or once for say 30 minute walk what ever time one can exhale the breathe and continue walking. By understanding the level of one's comfort. THIS IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NORMAL HEALTHY WITHOUT ANCILLARY CONDITIONS but have long Covid
Idea is using the acidic pH to alter the virus in the arterial blood by the CO2 forming carbonic acid and the acidic pH will do the work.
I need to make this reaction (pictured) with the same final concentration, but it needs to be in a total volume of 7.5ul instead of 25ul. Can someone please help me by walking me through your math process? I'm having a hard time figuring this out and would greatly appreciate any help.
For long Covid can try morning/ evening walk say 30 minutes. While walking not to inhale air. Even one can exhale the air and walk. When one is not comfortable one can breathe say after 30-45 seconds. Then repeat this cycle of not using air while walking low O2 levels increase the ⬆️ *lactic acid* & ⬆️ *carbonic acid* in the system. This acidic pH helps in viral inactivation. (Hypothesis) as acids are used to denature the virus and this has been shown to be present in the artery in the below mentioned paper. These acids may help in allevation of the symptoms.
This can help. I had found relief after returning from high altitude cough went of which was more than 8 months after I was infected with Covid. The walking also relieved the symptoms. As walking the O2 demand is more and if one walks with say a heavy bag that is exhaustive. This brings in acidic condition.
Glycosis is inhibited and lactate formation in absence of oxygen is natural. Which most athletes show. But here hyperactivity isn't recommended and it's for people who are normal and with mild symptoms. Almost imaginary. Which one doesn't realize. This has shown to provide relief.
Here are some tips on how to deal with academic snobs:
- Don't take it personally. It's important to remember that academic snobs are often insecure about their own intelligence and accomplishments. They may try to put others down in order to make themselves feel better. Try not to take their comments personally and don't let them get to you.
- Stay confident. Remember that you are just as smart and capable as anyone else. Don't let academic snobs make you doubt yourself or your abilities. Remind yourself of your own accomplishments and strengths.
- Don't engage with them. The best way to deal with an academic snob is to ignore them. If they try to engage you in a conversation, simply walk away or politely excuse yourself. There is no need to waste your time and energy on someone who is trying to make you feel bad.
- Seek support from others. If you are being harassed or bullied by an academic snob, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or professor. They can offer you support and advice on how to deal with the situation. You can also report the behavior to your department chair or other appropriate authority figure.
Here are some additional tips:
- Kill them with kindness. Be polite and respectful to academic snobs, even if they are not to you. This will show them that you are not bothered by their behavior and that you are the bigger person.
- Have a sense of humor. If an academic snob makes a snide comment, try to laugh it off. Don't let them get to you.
- Don't try to compete with them. Academic snobs are often competitive and driven to succeed. Don't try to compete with them on their own terms. Focus on your own goals and don't worry about what they are doing.
- Be yourself. Don't try to change who you are to fit in with academic snobs. Be proud of your unique qualities and don't let anyone make you feel inferior.
Remember, academic snobs are not worth your time or energy. Focus on your own work and your own goals, and don't let them get to you.

Thank you.
We assume that the answer is yes, but how?
Most people think that bacteria use the pili (sometimes called flagella or pseudolegs) to walk (in vertical orientation) or crawl (in horizontal orientation), which is wrong, as explained below.
The correct assumption that nature itself equips bacteria with free electrons as a walking mechanism to be able to survive or search for food has been experimentally proven.
Consequence of evolution by natural selection,
the bacterial cell has one or more free electrons and the bacterial colony contains millions of them which produce a radial electric field and a circular magnetic field according to the EMW theory [1,2].
The EMW theory proves that the electromagnetic field of the macroscopic bacterial colony is responsible for the macroscopic movement of bacteria sometimes called walking.
In short, the
the current theory that bacteria move or search for food via their pseudo-legs as the main driving force is not valid.

Stokes’ theorem says we can calculate the flux of curl F across surface S by knowing information only about the values of F along the boundary of S. Conversely, we can calculate the line integral of vector field F along the boundary of surface S by translating to a double integral of the curl of F over S.
Let S be an oriented smooth surface with unit normal vector N. Furthermore, suppose the boundary of S is a simple closed curve C. The orientation of S induces the positive orientation of C if, as you walk in the positive direction around C with your head pointing in the direction of N, the surface is always on your left. With this definition in place, we can state Stokes’ theorem.

I'm developing a CNN regression model for gait analysis. It seems the model is well trained, with low val_loss and low loss. However, the model does not work well to predict real data. In this training process, the data used is gait data generated from the force plate and plantar pressure. The force plate consists of 6 values, and the plantar pressure consists of 89 values. Then, for data collection, plantar pressure will be placed above the force plate, and someone will walk on the plantar pressure and the force plate at the same time. The data generated from both is 50 data in 1 second. The duration of the experiment that I did was 5 minutes, so the total of the training data is 15000. The main thing is that I'm developing a regression model to predict force plates based on plantar pressure. As I said above, the model is well-trained, but the model cannot work properly for real data during testing. The following is the result of process training and testing using real data. I'm confused why this can happen, even though the training results are quite good and the resulting val_loss and loss results are also very small. then because of this problem, I found a solution by adding the number of sequences to the plantar pressure data. because plantar pressure is able to generate 50 data in 1 second, so here I will add a number of sequences 1–50 at the first index for each plantar pressure data. so the plantar pressure data which originally consisted of 89 values, now will be 90 values because I added 1 data (data number of sequence). Below is an illustration of adding the number of sequences to plantar pressure data. The training process from adding the number of sequences in the plantar pressure data will be very helpful in the training and testing using real data. this is very weird to me, why when I don't add the number of sequences to the plantar pressure data the results of training results will be good but when I test the model using real data, the model is unable to predict real data. however, if I add a number of sequences to the plantar pressure data, the training results will be better than without adding a number of sequences and during testing, the model is able to predict real data quite well. I've read a lot of papers and looking for information on things like this but I can't find it. I hope someone here can provide a logical reason why all this could happen. you can refer to my questions on datascience.stackexchange to see the detail of my questions. https://datascience.stackexchange.com/questions/118724/cnn-model-well-trained-but-cant-predict-real-data

Is PLOS ONE walking on the same path?
Hi everyone. I have designed a study with three separate steps. First I scan healthy people who passively receive rhythmic and non-rhythmic sequences in auditory and vibrotactile modalities. So two modalities and two conditions in each modality (4 conditions in total). Then I scan people with Parkinson's disease (PwP) who receive the same stimuli. Then I calculate the functional connectivity (using the Psychophysiological Interaction (PPI) method) during rhythmic tasks in each modality separately in both groups of people to see in which ways healthy and PwP people's FC might be different. After that same Parkinson's people get a rehabilitation method for their walking performance and the results of gait (walking) improvements will be correlated with FC values to see if the degree of FC can predict gait improvement following that specific rehabilitation method.
Now my question is:
1- How many people would be considered a good sample size for my study?
2- Is it preferable to have the same sample size in both healthy and PwP? if yes, why?
There are no significant differences when we close our eyes for "a moment" when we walk and compare with open eyes. Sometimes we feel our eyes tired after reading for a long time. So when there are no significant differences when we close eyes and open eyes when walking, can we use "change blindness phenomenon" to walk with close eyes and only open our eyes when we feel it necessary according to our intuition acuity ?
I am attempting to perform electrophysiology recordings from electrodes implanted in the brain of a rat while he is walking on a treadmill. Currently the noise level is extremely high (Strongest at 60Hz and 120Hz, but enough across the spectrum to be unfilterable) when the motor on the treadmill is in operation, even when the rat is ~5m away. I have tried grounding the metal body of the treadmill, but without much benefit. The recording system is a Plexon Omniplex system. Is this typical for treadmill recordings, and what is the typical approach at reducing this noise?

I was reading a quote of Plato where he said that those who tell stories, rule society. I have seen in my life also, many great and legendary teachers having this unique ability of being a fantastic story-teller. Great performers who rise up to the level of a teacher in other walks of life like spirituality, politics, entertainment, public relations, business etc. also seem to have this unique feature. So I have started believing that story-tellers can become great teachers.
Scientists and researchers from around the world are requested to share their opinions regarding this.
Greetings all,
I did a simple experiment. On each trial, participants listened to audio recordings of a person walking on a flight of stairs. The pedestrian was walking either up or down the stairs, and either toward or away from the recording device. On each trial, the participant had to report whether (1) the pedestrian was walking up or down the stairs, and (2) toward or away from the recording device. Participant sex was a between-participants variable. One reviewer of the paper suggested I conduct a 2 (Sex: M vs. F) x 2 (Distance: Toward vs. Away) x 2 (Elevation: Up vs. Down) repeated measures ANOVA. The DV was percent correct.
The independent variables are not nested. For example, on half the trials, the person walking Up the stairs was walking Toward the recording device while on the other half of the trials the person was walking Away from it.
My concern is that the ANOVA will include data it should not when calculating the main effects. When determining the main effect of Distance, the ANOVA will include the Elevation data. Likewise, when determining the main effect of Elevation, the ANOVA will include the Distance data.
I have attached the data so you will have a better understanding of what I mean.
In short, my question is this: Is a 2 x 2 x 2 the correct analysis that will yield what the reviewer expects? I am thinking it will not.
Thank you for your help!

Has anyone implemented or researched neighborhood walking programs for older adults?
Although there is an excellent quantity of literature on sustainable development and walkability in urban areas, the discussion on urban morphology and the strategies to integrate the principles into the climate-resilient process is still little. As a certain consequence of a climate-responsive urban area, we can expect more people to walk comfortably. There are various strategies to evaluate walkability in urban areas, including the Space Syntax method. Are there any algorithm in Grasshopper to evaluate the three main component os walkability (Permeability, Catchment, and Integration)?
I have some gait profiles collected. in some cases i observe peak stance angles about 20 degrees and peak swing angles about 60 degrees.
But in some cases, there is little to no stance phase flexion angles, but the swing phase 60 degree remains.
I have trouble understanding if this is an error in the data or is it due to varying walking styles ?
I'm looking to do some IHC/IF staining of X. laevis brains that have been frozen in OCT media for cryosectioning. I understand how to do the cryosectioning, but I am hoping for help/protocols that will assist with the following steps:
- Preparation of Chrom Alum Gelatin-coated slides
(I've had issues with my tissues adhering to the slides before, so my PI suggested this step)
- Antigen retrieval
(Is this step necessary? I'm working with brains that have been fixed in MEMFA (formaldehyde), so I'm not sure if the protocol will require this or how to do it.)
- Immunofluorescence staining of sections once they're on the slides
(Could someone walk me through the best way to add your antibody solutions to the slides without damaging the tissues? Do you prefer a bath that you dip slides into, or do you use a hydrophobic pen to create a barrier and keep the slides in a humidified chamber?)
- Using parafilm to create a barrier instead of a hydrophobic pen
(I've heard of this before, but I'm not sure exactly how to do it, so I would love any tips/visuals/advice anyone might have!)
Thanks so much!
I have used Vicon Nexus 2 for a walking trials with the lower body plug in gait model. However, the ASCII data exported has a column title Rknee angles and contains angles in X Y Z columns.

(to better compare subject with each other ...)
Hello.
This study had problems in randomization process. Yet, it has added in several MA of RCTs.
Discussing with several researchers, I always heard different opinions about its inclusion or not.
In case it wouldn't affect I2 or the effect size, would you include it in a MA of RCTs?
" At first, we intended to divide participants randomly into 3 groups, each with 20 men and 62 women: no walking training, moderate-intensity continuous walking training, and high-intensity interval walking training. However, a few of the participants were married couples and wanted to join the same group, and others, who lived a distance from an administrative center, wished to be assigned to the interval walking group so that they could visit a local community office nearer their homes."

The world has been locked in fear a long time. Does this demonstrate we have forgotten how to die and that even letting go of our elderly is too hard a task? Should we accept nature's desire for species balance and order?
The effect on our societies may be irreparable. Is it time to walk out against the numerous demons that beset us?
Dear Colleagues,
Hope to be in high spirit and healthy situation
We have estimate a model to examine the effective built environment variables on walking trip generation in Stata.
Regarding different commands to calculate the elasticity in the software, I am not sure about my calculation.
I wonder if you could introduce any reference or formula to calculate the elasticity of zero-inflated negative binomial model.
In advance, Thanks for your invaluable comments!
A decade ago, at the Fifth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health in Parma, Italy, Member States of the WHO European Region made a commitment “…to provide each child by 2020 with access to healthy and safe environments and settings of daily life in which they can walk and cycle to kindergartens and schools, and to green spaces in which to play and undertake physical activity”. As we are year 2020 actually, Do you know any country that fully reached such a commitment? What do you think about it?
Wishing good health to all of you.

Hello,
Our lab is working on DNA extraction. We are creating new solutions for a new protocol. Unfortunately when our main CTAB (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) stock was stored from last time, someone placed it in our walk in fridge. I understand that it should be stored between 15-30 degrees Celsius. Should we buy new stock, or do you think we could still create new solutions from this stock, and not have it affect our results?
Thanks,
Frank
I have need of coding part of implementation of stick diagram in python. So somebodies guide me from where could i learn it.
I am investigating ways of making sculpture using mid to strong grades of hydraulic lime and volcanic rock dust as the main ingredients to make casts from found shoreline objects. .
Over a period of many years I have grown to love and appreciate the Norfolk coastline and I am planning seven walks along some of its shorelines. The first of which began at Holme-Next-the-Sea in Norfolk, UK, where two bronze age wooden 'Sea Henges' or 'monuments' were were discovered. One of which was contraversially unearthed to be preserved.
My interest in lime for the casting process, stems from its lower Co2 emmiting credentials during its manufature and its durability over time when prepared using similar techniques to making Roman Concrete.
Is there any research that has used this tool to measure the perception of accessibility and walking comfort, and its influence on everyday practices?
What is the number of people to interview per street and for how long?
My hypothesis is that diagnosing center of pressure on using pedobariagraphy with a goal of normalizing or optimizing the CoP as a treatment goal will eventually in too many cases, via biomechanical compensations driven up the posture, lead to new complaints n=1.
I am trying to classify certain simple activities (walking, sitting, standing,cycling)using smartphone (Samsung galaxy s6) by modeling them using convnets. What I am confused about is that some research article just uses raw data and in some papers, the acceleration vector is isolated into additional gravity and linear acceleration vectors via low- and highpass-filters. Moreover, if such isolation is really needed then how to use both parts(linear, gravitational) or gravitational part is discarded?
Walking without shoes is a useful habit that "massages" the feet and thus stimulates brain activity and the growth of additional connections between neurons.
Like young children, when barefoot walking and treading the whole foot, with the front of the foot touching the ground last, walking without shoes is also good for adults to "feel" the ground, the ground at their feet, and therefore themselves. Such a gait is not possible when walking in footwear, especially one with high heels, because at each step it first steps on the heel. That is why barefoot walking is recommended to anyone wherever possible.
The benefit of grounding, as we call direct contact with the Earth's surface, is related to the discovery of the health benefits that occur when we are in contact with the Earth's natural electricity. When the body is grounded, electrons move from Earth to the body, and it greatly reduces the impact of harmful electromagnetic fields on the body.
Barefoot walking allows electrons from the Earth's surface to neutralize free radicals in the human body responsible for many diseases. This creates a markedly positive change in the physiology of the human body, harmonizing and stabilizing basic biological rhythms and thus contributes to many health benefits. Here are some of the highlights:
• In particular, it promotes in children:
- the development of the muscles of the feet and lower legs that form the arches of the feet;
- greater dexterity;
- tight muscles on the soles of the soles;
- less deformed fingers;
- greater strength of the flexor muscles;
- greater ability to spread toes;
- greater flexibility of the hamstring muscles.
• Each step is an exercise of observation: warm-cold, soft-firm, dry-moist…
• Enables natural movement or movement, better foot mobility.
• A sense of whole body connection is provided.
• Bare feet on the move get warm faster.
• Returns "freedom" to the feet.
• Feet are healthy .
• At each step, the load on the whole body is much lighter.
• Improves "poor" posture.
• Longer standing is provided.
• No neck and back pain.
• Provides better immunity.
• Has a strong anti-inflammatory effect.
• Provides better sleep by balancing cortisol levels.
• Helps prevent Alzheimer's disease.
The mostly adopted pedestrian or cyclist navigation systems are derived from car navigation systems, where the pedestrian is "a car with no wheels, and two feet instead".
This gives a bias from the start, and short-cuts between buildings are rarely considered. The criteria of relatively cleaner air on a path, or more enjoyable sights which may matter to the pedestrian individual are not taken into account.
The minimal path search assumed as optimal may not be the choice which individuals would make, given the opportunity: using the walk to reinforce fitness and exercise (voluntary stairs climb, etc).
The urban versus natural segments may not be considered either among valid options, one would like to be offered.
What would be your criteria for a pedestrian navigation system?
To be clear, apart from the subways, intersections, stairs, are these special tiles used on long walks on the sidewalks in your city?
I am interested in using the Broad's Cancer Therapeutics Response Portal to see the correlation between the expression of a particular gene of interest and resistance to a few specific drugs. I was wondering if anyone could walk me through how to do this or alternatively direct me to any tutorials on how to use this interface? Thanks in advance!
Why is running in Parkinson's disease both possible and have therapeutic effects in contradistinction to walking?
During test of cycle_gate, we ask people to walk, then they pay attention to it and their way of walking is changed, also darkness can change it too.
but that is question, whether mental illness such as depression change the cycle_gate?that could help us to find therapies for these diseases.
I am looking into using visual occlusion methods for a walking task - what are the recommended styles of occlusion glasses for a relatively dynamic task such as this - and are there any recommended suppliers in the UK?
Thanks
We have measured EMG during walking in two different population, and would like to compare their muscle activity.
While some former studies have used statistical inference (i.e. t-tests for max values), we would like to assess the whole time series. Our aim is to show difference in or near specific events of the gait cycle.
Any advice regarding how to perform a statistical inference for time series? or where should I obtain more information regarding this topic?
Thank you!
Can someone please let me know something about the Chromosome 10q dupliaction.
My daughter was just diagnosed with this, she is 2 years old and doesnt walk or talk yet.
She continuously has brain attacks while she sleeps. Her eyes are open and she doesnt breath when the attacks happen.
Thank you in advance for your respond.
I want an initial direction, like how can I use IMU sensors on knees (e.g upper leg and lower leg ) to estimate body state e.g running, walking, climbing, etc. The basic idea I have is to use 2 IMU sensors on knee position (upper and lower leg) , and to get data or make a data set of it. Then process it using deep learning e.g CNN or ANN etc. But point is..are there data sets available on which I can test CNN etc to see either it works or not. Need guidance about data sets, from where could I get IMU knee based data sets, so that I can focus on my algorithm only.
I am studying the effects of Habitat (flower diversity) on male/female bee abundance. But I can't really get my head around the statistical approach.
I want to check if there is a difference in abundance of male and female bees, between different habitat types.
Bee male and females are counted in multiple habitats, in three different rounds in the year. For each habitat, an inconsistent amount of transects (samples) (ranging from 10 to 24) are walked and bees are counted.
I thought of using a Generalized Linear Mixed Model for this (because of the repeated survey rounds and possible interaction between males and females), but am not sure how to use it in this case.
Do I need to make a male-female ratio for this analysis? I thought it was better to keep the males and females separated, because then I could test for interaction between them.
What should I do with the different amounts of transects? Can the sample size per habitat be different?
I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
I know only this publication on the topic: Kwok BC, et al. BMC Geriatrics 2013;13:23.

I am planning a study on freezing in patients with Parkinson’s disease. I need basic parameters including and especially time taken to initiate walking.
What is the most affordable way to conduct such gait analysis? Insoles? Affordable gait mats?
Thanks for your response in advance,

What percentage or how many minutes of a healthy human's day is spent on different biomechanical activities such as sitting, standing, walking, lying and so on?

I am looking for a reliable algorithm to detect gait events in patients with moderate to severe gait impairments. Whereas some existing algorithms work satisfactorily in good to moderate walkers (e.g. Zeni-Algorithm for kinematic analysis), they are often prone to errors in patients with more pathological gait patterns. Force/pressure-based methods are considered the gold standard for automated gait detection, however, they are not really feasible during free overground walking.
Can anybody recommend an algorithm for robust detection of gait events during treadmill and overground walking in patients with severe gait pattern deviations?
Hi,
I would like to use pedestrian and bicycle on the same walkway on the simulation model in VISSIM. I have already created a model on VISSIM where I input both pedestrian and bi-cycle as a pedestrian with the default walking behavior. However, the bicycle riders do not show real-world behavior like they do not overtake the pedestrian most of the time, and they move behind the pedestrian. I would like to introduce the real-world experience like bicyclist will wait a few seconds behind the pedestrian, then safely overtake. Also, the pedestrian would move closer to the edge of the sidewalk to give way for the bicyclist.
How may I do that?
The above conclusion comes from examining the Doppler Equation and reformulating it.
The same conclusion comes from following the laws of Nature: nothing remains constant or lasts forever.
I am new to western blotting and am practicing the procedure up till the transfer step (I'm good after that step). After the electrophoresis step I take a look at the total protein on the gel, and the attached image is what I get every time; not many bands, and this weird diffusion of the signal into nothing towards the bottom. I've been walked through a western by a very experienced researcher before and the total protein results were very clean and clear, so I know what is possible with my samples.
Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong??
Hi all,
As technology advances researchers are beginning to use virtual reality to assess behaviors that are otherwise difficult to observe or unethical to test in the real world. However, one of the drawbacks of VR is the novel aspect of being in a VR world/headset. This novelty might influence the variables of interest. While obviously nothing will completely get rid of the novelty influence (other than repeated exposure) by allowing participants to experience various VR stimuli before the study began, I suggest we may reduce it. Unfortunately, this may also influence the variable of interest as well. For example, I myself was participating in a study and was fixated on "looking around" the virtual world that I missed some educational information from the narrator (which was part of the outcome variable). Thus I propose two thoughts/questions:
1) Is it worth introducing a low level VR stimuli before the study begins to reduce novelty and thus increase realism, or does this introduce a new confound
2) If it is worth it what type of VR stimuli should be used (e.g. just a simple nature walk or walking around a VR 'home') .
Any discussion/advice would be helpful!

Hi
I'm conducting an exercise intervention with office workers. The intervention will include Yoga classes and one to one coaching. I will be looking at the effects of the intervention on two dependent variables: 1.walking
2. the amount of time workers spend standing.
I have a control group and a treatment group. Walking data will be measured using pedometers, and standing time will be measured using a self-report questionnaire.
Am I right in thinking that a two-way unrelated ANOVA is needed to test for difference between the groups?
Thanks in advance
We are usually told to take a 15 minutes nap after lunch and a walk after dinner. How long after taking meals one should take a nap or walk? Should we walk briskly or leisurely after meals? Should it be a short walk or a long one? Walk before a meal helps burn more calories or walk after meals? How long should we walk before and after a meal?

Hi everyone
I am working on a 7 segment model of the human body to simulate a walking gait cycle (3 segments for each leg and 1 segment for upper limb).
I have a problem with this model. The order of knee and ankle joints follows the reported orders in standard data (less than 150 N.m in each one of the joints). But the order of Hip joint in each leg is much more than what I have expected. This torque value is about 600-700 N.m.
I wanted to know has anyone faced with the same problem and how should to resolve it?
Regards.
I am seeking advice and resources that can help me educate business professionals in learning how to think using a theoretical lens.
For the summer, I am a extern at a corporation. In our meetings, people make contradicting suggestions and recommendations, but are somehow both accepted. My grad school training in counseling psychology, which is heavy on theory and philosophy, had me scratching my head and wonder why conflicting ideas were both accepted.
I briefly spoke with my supervisor about my observation. I walked her through my thinking and we 'walked out' the two ideas where she clearly saw the disconnect. She passed the results of our discussion along and now I have been asked to give a presentation on this process -- thinking in theoretical terms, understanding one's theoretical lens, and so forth.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
When doing gait analysis, are there any criteria for a "standard" surface to walk on? In other words, what features from the surface would affect gait, and in what ways? I suspect this might be critical for subjects who already have problems with walking, but am not sure what exactly to look out for. It'll be nice to have some advice from you.Thank you!
Disabled people are considered under WHO recommandations for daily physical activity, but standard measures used for healthy people could them really be used at the same for disabled ?
In other way, for example, for a femoral amputee, walking at 4m/s speed is it under 3 MET (very low level activity) or over (low activity)?
Where I live there is a large park that has a picnic/barbecue facility that can be freely used and is mostly used by people from the local area (upper middle class) living within walking distance of the park. Some users of the facility invariably leave their garbage on or around the picnic table even though there’s a garbage bin right at the facility.
In addition to my own experience with patients having torsion dystonia, I have come across mention of two patients whose ambulation forward was quite impacted, while walking in reverse was absolutely normal.Are there any other disorders where this has been observed?

The importance of analyzing the human walking gives huge information about the status of the human body. It represents the status of the neurological human system giving orders from the brain through the spinal cord and nerves, to move our limbs in a synchronized way using the muscles, bones, ligaments in an specific order to obtain the human displacement required, indicating a way to detect human movements disorders.
What do you know about "Stamped concrete"?what are the challenges make it no to be used instead of concrete blocks in walking ways ,garages,yards,etc.?

You can agree or not with this article, but I am sharing it to highlight few points for considerations:
- How can an oil and gas company or a water intensive company (beverage company) be ranked high in sustainability. Someone may say why not if these companies are generating 100% renewable energy and recycling 100% its waste. Then I say the problem is in the definition of what make a sustainable company and sustainable business model.
- Should the ESG criteria for investing be similar in all markets? If we assume beverage companies are OK to operate in countries with plenty of water, this does not mean this company should operate in countries where people walk for 3-10 kilometres to get water?
Different physical activities influence the glucose uptake of cells inside the body. For example, If a person is running his glucose uptake by the cells is increased resulting in decrease in glucose level inside blood stream.
Is there any concrete relationship between the physical activity and glucose level dynamics?
