Energetic versus sthenic optimality criteria for gymnastic movement synthesis (2006)
Journal Article
Leboeuf, F., Bessonnet, G., Seguin, P., & Lacouture, P. (2006). Energetic versus sthenic optimality criteria for gymnastic movement synthesis. Multibody System Dynamics, 16(3), 213-236. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11044-006-9024-4

Dynamic synthesis of human movements raises the question of the selection of a suitable performance criterion able to generate proper dynamic behaviors. Two quite different criteria are likely to be appropriate candidates: the minimum effort cost (... Read More about Energetic versus sthenic optimality criteria for gymnastic movement synthesis.

The term ‘parenthetical’ covers a disparate range of phenomena only some of which have been regarded as falling within the domain of syntax. However, it has been argued by Haegeman (1988) that adverbial parenthetical clauses, which have been treated... Read More about Divisions of labour: the analysis of parentheticals.
