![]() These results have implications regarding the viability of muscle synergy as a putative neural control mechanism, and also as a control algorithm to restore movements. ![]() Finally, we showed that the number of synergies required to approximate the optimal muscle pattern for an arbitrary biomechanical system increases with task-space dimensionality, which indicates that the capacity of synergy decomposition to explain behavior depends critically on the scope of the original database. The redundancy of a given set of muscles had opposite effects on the goodness of muscle reconstruction and on task achievement higher redundancy is associated with better EMG approximation (lower residuals), but with higher AEs. Because EMG records are typically not available from all contributing muscles, we also explored reconstructions from incomplete sets of muscles. We further assessed the influence of synergy decomposition on aiming errors (AEs) in a more redundant system, using the optimal muscle pattern computed for the elbow-joint complex (i.e., 13 muscles acting in two dimensions). Then, we computed the optimal pattern of muscle activation that minimizes summed-squared muscle activities, and demonstrated that synergy decomposition produced similar results on real and simulated data. We used data from a force-aiming task in two dimensions at the wrist, using an electromyograms (EMG)-driven virtual biomechanics technique that overcomes typical errors in predicting force from recorded EMG, to illustrate through simulation how synergy decomposition inevitably introduces substantial task space errors. Here, we argue that the usefulness of muscle synergies as a control principle should be evaluated in terms of errors produced not only in muscle space, but also in task space. The observation that the activity of multiple muscles can be well approximated by a few linear synergies is viewed by some as a sign that such low-dimensional modules constitute a key component of the neural control system.

"These new police dog units will complement the efforts of the existing security presence out on CTA, which now boasts more than 300 unarmed guards throughout the system each day," officials said in a statement.

The tollway began using expiry dates over 10 years ago in an effort to better inform drivers, she said. "Eight years ago, the tollway's fulfillment vendor set the expiration date at eight years, when the actual life span of the transponders was 10, thus the tollway is extending the expiration on this lot of transponders by two years," McGinnis explained. The tollway procures the devices from Kapsch TrafficCom through a bulk purchase with the E-ZPass Group, a consortium of toll agencies in 19 states. The glitch occurred when the agency was transitioning between transponders with life spans of eight years to ones with 10 years. The Bissell is versatile, with a strong selection of tools for a variety of carpet and upholstery cleaning tasks. If you’re deep cleaning a whole floor with the Bissell, its heated water tank is a nice convenience, but we wouldn’t call it an essential feature. In our testing, the heated water tank wasn’t a huge game changer - the ProHeat and Hoover SmartWash+ performed just about the same during our carpet stain removal testing, though the ProHeat lets you work for longer stretches since you don’t have to refill with warm water as you do with the SmartWash+. By comparison, some Hoover upright cleaners vent warm air to help dry out your carpet, but none do the same for their water tank. The ProHeat also uses Bissell’s Heatwave system, which relies on a small fan to heat up the cleaner’s clean water tank. When we tested out the Bissell on a kitchen runner rug, we hit baked-in grease stains with the CleanShot, cleaned the rest of the carpet and easily removed them later once the solution soaked in. On the other models we reviewed, the only way to quickly pretreat stains was by connecting an attachment hose and sprayer head to the cleaner. Although it took us a second to get comfortable aiming the CleanShot, we liked using it as a quick spot treatment tool. When you press the CleanShot button above the Bissell ProHeat’s rear wheel, a sprayer shoots out a Super Soaker-like stream of cleaning solution (a second press shuts it off, so you can control the length of the application). Our favorite feature on the ProHeat was Bissell’s CleanShot spot treatment system. The Hoover SmartWash+’s automatic spraying system and stress-free design make it a great option if you’re looking for an affordable upright carpet cleaner that’s effective and easy to use.īest premium upright carpet cleaner for pet hair: Bissell ProHeat 2x Revolution Pet Pro With the Bissell ProHeat’s integrated spray head, you can quickly spot treat individual stains and won’t need to carry around a separate spray bottle or a hose carrying bag.īut overall, the SmartWash+ earned its spot as our top carpet cleaner for a simple reason: It cleans carpets just as well as the Bissell ProHeat and costs $100 less. If you want to spot treat tougher stains in advance with the Hoover, you’ll need to attach its 8-foot hose attachment and manually spray them. That said, the SmartWash+’s lower price compared to the Bissell ProHeat means you’ll sacrifice some convenience for affordability. A 22-foot power cord and 8-foot attachment hose give you plenty of room to work. It has one of the widest cleaning heads we tested at 12 inches, an inch wider than the Bissell ProHeat, and it’s 0.5-gallon dirty water tank was a bit larger than the Bissel’s 0.4-gallon tank. ![]() ![]() If anything goes wrong with your cleaner, the SmartWash+ comes with an extended five-year warranty. A handy backlit display tells you when the SmartWash+ is in spraying or drying mode. The SmartWash+ also has a convenient Dry Only mode that lets you “vacuum” your carpet without triggering its forward spraying function. You can easily refill water once your clean water tank runs out without having to mix a new batch of solution. The SmartWash+ has dual dedicated solution and clean water tanks and automatically mixes from both tanks as you clean, so unlike many of the other carpet cleaners we tested you don’t have to worry about mixing too much or too little solution together or having water sit in a tank for too long. After a few passes with the Hoover, our carpet looked good as new without any trace of our test stains. Thanks to the cleaner’s auto-spray system, we simply ran the SmartWash+ back and forth over our carpet samples until the carpet’s soy sauce, red wine and dirt stains disappeared. ![]() The SmartWash+ performed excellently during our stain test and other hands-on usage. Most notably, however, it performed just as well as the Bissell ProHeat throughout our testing despite selling for nearly $100 less. It’s much more like using an upright vacuum cleaner and unlike most of the competition, which required us to hold down a spray trigger (which often left us worrying about under- or overwashing our carpet). Its intuitive triggerless spraying system automatically sprays your carpet when you move it forward and dries the carpet when you pull it backward. From top to bottom, the Hoover SmartWash+ has been designed around one idea: simplicity. ![]() And an August survey of CEO confidence from The Conference Board found that 84% of respondents believed a recession would occur in the next 18 months.Įarlier this month, the Fed kept interest rates unchanged, as expected.

![]() This method of multiplication has been around for ages, probably since the Middle Ages, or even before your parents were born into this world. The next diagonal has us find the sum of 2 + 4 + 1 = 7. The next diagonal up has us add 0, 1, 8 (0 + 1 + 8 = 9)which is 9, so we write that digit in that place. We can see 5 by itself, in the bottom right, so the sum is 5. Starting in the bottom right we find the sum of all the digits found within the diagonals. The best way to go about this is to extend the diagonal by ending the slash in each box. Step 3: Add’em Up - You will add each diagonal value within the grid. Place the tens value of that product to the left of the diagonal slash and the ones place to the right of it. These pairs meet up 4 and 6, 4 and 5, 3 and 6, 3 and 5. Step 2: Multiple the Digits - You will match up each of the digits that meet in each box in the rows and columns. For the purposes of this exercise, we will work on find the product of 43 and 65 (43 x 65). You will then place the two-digit values that are being multiplied on around the squares with the multiplier on top and the multiplicand on the right of the boxes. You then place right faced diagonal slashes in each box. Step 1: Prepare Lattice - This requires you first to draw the lattice which is just four squares stacked in a two-by-two arrangement. There are three basic steps to using this method are: This can be very handy because it takes large values and breaks everything down into simple math facts. If you look around you will find out many crisscrosses or lattice patterns in your daily life, such as your grandma's delicious blueberry pie. The method uses a grid with diagonally written numbers that make a crisscross pattern. The lattice method gives you an alternative way to multiply more than one digits. You may also hear it referred to as Chinese multiplication. ![]() There are many other ways you can multiply with two- or three-digit numbers without using the long multiplication method.

Over the next 10 minutes, Harambe became increasingly "agitated and disoriented" by the screams of onlookers. However, the third gorilla, the inquisitive 440-pound (200 kg) male silverback, Harambe, climbed down into the moat to investigate the child splashing in the water. Zoo officials immediately signaled for the three gorillas in the habitat to return inside, and two females did so. The boy then climbed a 3-foot-tall (0.9 m) fence, crawled through 4 feet (1.2 m) of bushes, and then fell 15 feet (4.6 m) into a moat of shallow water. Witnesses said they heard the child say he wanted to go into the gorilla enclosure. On May 28, 2016, a three-year-old boy visiting the Cincinnati Zoo fell into the moat at the Gorilla World habitat. ![]() On September 18, 2014, Harambe was transferred to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden to learn adult gorilla behavior and join a new social group. Harambee is a Swahili term for communal labor. He came up with the name after listening to the 1988 song "Harambe (Working Together for Freedom)" by Rita Marley, widow of Bob Marley. He was named by Dan Van Coppenolle, a local area counselor who won a naming contest sponsored by the zoo. Harambe was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, on May 27, 1999. Harambe became the subject of internet memes, songs, a video game, a statue, and other tributes and recognitions. A number of primatologists and conservationists wrote later that the zoo had no other choice under the circumstances, and that it highlighted the danger of zoo animals near humans and the need for better standards of care. The incident was recorded on video and received broad international coverage and commentary, including controversy over the choice to use lethal force. Fearing for the boy's life, a zoo worker shot and killed Harambe. On May 28, 2016, a three-year-old boy visiting the zoo climbed under a fence into an outdoor gorilla enclosure where he was grabbed and dragged by Harambe. ![]() ![]() Harambe ( / h ə ˈ r ɑː m b eɪ/ hə- RAHM-bay – May 28, 2016) was a western lowland gorilla who lived at the Cincinnati Zoo.
