NONAN GaitPrint: An IMU gait database of healthy young adults
Abstract An ongoing thrust of research focused on human gait pertains to identifying individuals based on gait patterns. However, no existing gait database supports modeling efforts to assess gait patterns unique to individuals. Hence, we introduce the Nonlinear Analysis Core (NONAN) GaitPrint database containing whole body kinematics and foot placement during self-paced overground walking on…

Guest edited collection: fungal evolution and diversity
There are 5 million fungal species. However, the discovery and classification of fungi are in high flux. Modern concepts indicate that the three kingdoms of “fungi” are Chromista, Fungi and Protozoa. Strong support for the wrong phylogeny can occur without correct analytical methods. In the current Collection we envisaged fungi representing extremely diverse and ancient…

Is AI leading to a reproducibility crisis in science?
During the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2020, testing kits for the viral infection were scant in some countries. So the idea of diagnosing infection with a medical technique that was already widespread — chest X-rays — sounded appealing. Although the human eye can’t reliably discern differences between infected and non-infected individuals, a team in India…

From ski resorts to backyards, the science of making snow
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – Last year was a miserable year for skiers and other snow lovers. Central Virginia had its least snow on record. That persistent warmth meant that snow-making at our ski resorts was futile. James Deboe runs the snowmaking operation at the Homestead in Bath County. At 3,200 feet above sea level, it’s…
