Estimation of Gait Parameters in Huntington’s Disease Using Wearable Sensors in the Clinic and Free-living Conditions

In Huntington’s disease (HD), wearable inertial sensors could capture subtle changes in motor function.However, disease-specific validation of methods is necessary.This study presents an algorithm for walking bout and Perches Plastic gait event detection in HD using a leg-worn accelerometer, validated only in the clinic and deployed in free-

Identification Method of Source Term Parameters of Nuclear Explosion Based on GA and PSO for Lagrange-Gaussian Puff Model

Many well-established models exist for predicting the dispersion of radioactive particles that will be generated in the surrounding environment after a nuclear weapon explosion.However, without exception, almost all models rely on accurate source term parameters, such as DELFIC, DNAF-1, and so on.Unlike nuclear experiments, accurate source term par
