Featured article: Quaternions for the kinematic analysis of human movement
The paper reviews the utility of quaternions. Representations of rigid body orientations are discussed with the use of unit quaternions in three dimensions; Quaternions and other methods (Euler angles, Cardan angles) are compared. It is concluded that quaternions are of great utility for the kinematic analysis of human movement.
Featured article: Engineering adipose tissue for modeling disease
This review discussed the applications of tissue-engineered adipose tissue for disease modeling, provided a basic background to adipose depots, and described 3D in vitro adipose models for obesity, diabetes, and cancer research applications.
Featured article: Robots in laparoscopic surgery
Robots used for laparoscopic surgery is one of the most active areas of surgical robots. This article is an overview of the research and development of laparoscope-holder robots, master-slave robots and hand-held robotic forceps.
