Our lab has shown differences in the acceleration threshold among young adults, elderly adults, and elderly adults with diabetes. Electromyography, Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments, and hearing tests investigate the underlying physiological mechanisms for the detriments in postural control. Due to peri- sway perturbations, the motion of a person’s sway affects the signal to noise ratio for perturbed stance. Since increases in sway range accompany postural instabilities, sway entrainment will allow us to investigate changes in acceleration threshold at different points in sway. The center of pressure, observed for entrainment, only changes due to rotations about joints, specifically the ankle. The current method to model rotation about the ankle is a single orthogonal joint, and therefore inaccurate. Methods: The SLIP-FALLS-STEPm Platform has lead to the ability to accurately measure and observe interactions in the range of postural sway. The combination of the platform with other testing modalities such as camera tracking systems, force mats, and accelerometers will allow for a comprehensive testing scheme. The new scheme can be combined with the induced sway produced by a sub-threshold sinusoidal entrainment process. The nonorthogonal modelling is programmed in Matlab®. Results: For constant displacements, anterior accelerations thresholds via two- alternate forced choice (2AFC) showed differences in postural stability in mature, iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Both DNI and DPN had significantly higher thresholds for acceleration via 2AFC than HMA at 1 and 4 mm displacements (p < 0.01 and p<0.05) and Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. For psychophysical amplitude threshold detection, we used our modified Single-Interval-Adjustment-Matrix to obtain amplitude thresholds for subthreshold frequency entrainment. Conclusion: The anterior acceleration thresholds show that peripheral neuropathy is not the sole cause for postural instability with diabetes. The ability to control the motion of sway will allow us to describe acceleration threshold throughout the range of sway. With a realistic ankle model, we will be able to better simulate postural dynamics. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission.

Without a doubt the world is in the midst of the greatest revolution of thought since the es­ tablishment of the kingdom of Christ. Old forms of political government have crumbled. New forms are being tried. Unrest is everywhere in evidence. Dis­ satisfaction with the old and a determination to ex­ periment with the new fills the minds of the multitude. The outstanding characteristic of the present age uni­ versally is a revolt against constituted authority . Man seems determined not to be longer fettered by old standards. While this revolt against constituted au­ thority was against oppresive political governments, pagan religions and humanly formed creeds, it was not greatly to be lamented : But the revolt' has broken over these bounds, and now is arrayed against the au­ thority of the Creator, as revealed through His word written by inspiration.

  • An Infinite-Pane, Zooming User Interface Window Manager and Survey of X Window Managers
    An Infinite-Pane, Zooming User Interface Window Manager and Survey of X Window Managers Submitted by Evan Bradley Computer Science To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College Mentor: Serge Kruk, Professor of Mathematics Department of Mathematics and Statistics Oakland University (02/15/2018) Abstract: This thesis describes a zoomable user interface window manager for the X Window System that aims to provide mechanisms for easily managing a large number of windows. This is motivated in part by greatly increased memory capabilities provided to modern computers as well as the relative stagnation of window managers since the desktop metaphor was first implemented. To address this, a window manager was written that allows the user to zoom over an infinite plane, on which windows may be arbitrarily placed. Taking advantage of the properties emerging from this model, algorithms were written to manage the windows using their associated Euclidean coordinates. Furthermore, a menu system similar to those employed in Oberon and Acme was written to provide the user with the ability to exercise greater control over the window manager. To ensure that it is usable on standard systems for a typical user workflow, it was developed on the X Window System, despite the system’s shortcomings. While this is the first window manager developed for the X Window System with the synthesis of these features, it takes inspiration from other window managers, user interfaces, and HCI research. As such, a brief discussion on other research interfaces is included alongside a more extensive survey on X11 window managers, which provide a substantial source for contemporary window management research.

  • Modular Wayland Compositors with Wlroots
    Modular Wayland compositors with wlroots Drew DeVault et al ∗ December 28, 2017 Abstract wlroots is a flexible and modular library upon which Wayland com- positors can be built. It is designed to maximize several factors: code reusability, interoperability between Wayland compositors, and flexibility for use in novel compositor designs. ∗Complete list available at https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/graphs/contributors 1 Contents 1 Background 3 1.1 Alternatives . 3 2 High-level Design 4 2.1 Backends . 4 2.2 Shells . 4 2.3 Wayland Protocols . 5 2.4 Convenience Utilities . 5 2.5 Rootston . 5 3 Promoting an Interoperable Ecosystem 6 3.1 Security Considerations . 7 4 Project Status 7 2 1 Background Wayland is a protocol used to communicate between user applications and a compositor. The compositor has ownership over input and output resources{ typically displays connected over DVI, HDMI, etc, and keyboards, mice, etc. wlroots (stylized in lowercase, or as "wlr") is a subproject of the Sway com- positor. Originally, Sway was written on top of a similar library called wlc. This library offered abstractions on top of DRM, GBM, GLES, libinput, and so on{ allowing Sway to focus on building the software specific to the compositor. However, with time it became clear that wlc's design is too limiting, and many of Sway's long-term goals were difficult to achieve with it. As a result, we built wlroots. We believe it offers a substantially better basis for development of Wayland compositors than any competing approach. We offer a powerful library that removes most of the heavy lifting from building a Wayland compositor while providing compositor authors as much flexibility in their design as they might gain by doing it all themselves{ I've jokingly referred to wlroots as "about 30,000 lines of code you were going to write anyway." We hope that compositors based on wlroots will be written faster, work better, and will be better citizens of the broader Wayland ecosystem.
