This paper proposed a bilateral upper-limb rehabilitation device (BULReD) with two degrees of freedom (DOFs). The BULReD is portable for both hospital and home environment, easy to use for therapists and patients, and safer with respect to upper-limb robotic exoskeletons. It was implemented to be able to conduct both passive and interactive training, based on system kinematics and dynamics, as well as the identification of real-time movement intention of human users. Preliminary results demonstrate the potential of the BULReD for clinical applications, with satisfactory position and interaction force tracking performance. Future work will focus on the clinical evaluation of the BULReD on a large sample of poststroke patients.

The motion of an artificial satellite around the Moon is much more complicated than that around the Earth, since the shape of the Moon is a triaxial ellipsoid and the effect of the Earth on the motion is very important even for a very close satellite.The differential equations of motion of the satellite are written in canonical form of three degrees of freedom with time depending Hamiltonian. By eliminating short-periodic terms depending on the mean longitude of the satellite and by assuming that the Earth is moving on the lunar equator, however, the equations are reduced to those of two degrees of freedom with an energy integral.Since the mean motion of the Earth around the Moon is more rapid than the secular motion of the argument of pericentre of the satellite by a factor of one order, the terms depending on the longitude of the Earth can be eliminated, and the degree of freedom is reduced to one.Then the motion can be discussed by drawing equi-energy curves in two-dimensional space. According to these figures satellites with high inclination have large possibilities of falling down to the lunar surface even if the initial eccentricities are very small.The principal properties of the motion are not changed even if plausible values ofJ3andJ4of the Moon are included.This paper has been published in Publ. astr. Soc.Japan15, 301, 1963.

Abstract Comprehensive accounts of resource-rational attempts to maximise utility shouldn't ignore the demands of constructing utility representations. This can be onerous when, as in humans, there are many rewarding modalities. Another thing best not ignored is the processing demands of making functional activity out of the many degrees of freedom of a body. The target article is almost silent on both.

Zusammenfassung. Das Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrages ist es anhand eines vielverwendeten Paradigmas in der Sportwissenschaft – dem Experten-Novizen-Vergleich – zu prüfen, ob die momentane Vertrauenskrise in der Psychologie ebenfalls die Sportpsychologie betreffen könnte. Anhand einer exemplarischen Studie zeigen wir, dass es innerhalb dieses Paradigmas zu kontroversen Befunden kommt, welche durch die vermuteten Ursachen der Vertrauenskrise (Researcher Degrees of Freedom, kleine Stichprobengrößen) erklärt sein könnten. Zusätzlich argumentieren wir, dass weitere Faktoren (Konfundierung, Stichprobengrößen, Rosenthal Effekt, Expertise-Definition) innerhalb dieses Paradigmas die Reproduzierbarkeit von Erkenntnissen in Frage stellen. Wir diskutieren mögliche Maßnahmen, wie die dargestellten Probleme des Experten-Novizen-Paradigmas in zukünftigen Forschungsarbeiten gelöst werden können.
