description: Silymarin, derived from the milk thistle plant Silybum marianum and widely used for self-treatment of liver diseases, is composed of six major flavonolignans including silybin A and silybin B, which are the predominant flavonolignans quantified in human plasma. The single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of silymarin flavonolignans were examined in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) to determine whether the disposition of silymarin and therefore its potential efficacy vary among liver disease populations. Cohorts of eight subjects with noncirrhotic liver disease were randomized 3:1 to oral silymarin or placebo (280 or 560 mg) every 8 h for 7 days. Forty-eight-hour blood sampling was conducted after the first and final doses. In general, plasma concentrations of silybin A and silybin B were higher, whereas concentrations of conjugates were lower in NAFLD compared with HCV. After adjustment of the area under plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 8 h (AUC0–8 h) for weight and dose, only silybin B and silybin B conjugates differed significantly between disease types. For NAFLD, the adjusted mean AUC0–8 h was higher for silybin B (p < 0.05) but lower for silybin B conjugates (p < 0.05) compared with that for HCV. At the 280-mg dose, steady-state plasma concentrations of silybin B conjugates for NAFLD subjects were characterized by 46% lower AUC0–8 h (p < 0.05) and 42% lower Cmax (p < 0.05) compared with HCV subjects. Evidence of enterohepatic cycling of flavonolignans was only observed in NAFLD subjects. In summary, the efficacy of silymarin may be more readily observed in NAFLD patients because of their higher flavonolignan plasma concentrations and more extensive enterohepatic cycling compared with those in HCV patients.

description: Understanding the physiology of stress in wild animals is essential for the conservation of species subject to anthropogenic perturbations. Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti) are exposed to increasing anthropogenic impacts in their natural habitat. In this species, females are typically smaller and dive less deep than males. In related species, the more limited foraging habitat of females and their reduced resiliency due to their smaller size were associated with higher mortality. We hypothesise that potential sex-specific differences in the foraging behaviour of Humboldt penguins may also relate to differences in their physiological stress. Here, we studied sex-specific foraging and diving behaviours and variations in plasma corticosterone levels and leukocyte profiles of Humboldt penguins during the chick-rearing period in Northern Chile. We report no evidence of sex-related differences in most foraging parameters, except that males dived significantly deeper than females. We found that plasma corticosterone levels and leukocyte profiles showed no significant differences between the sexes. Furthermore, there was no clear relationship between an individual’s foraging behaviour and its plasma corticosterone level or leukocyte profile. In summary, we found no support for sex-related differences in physiological stress levels of Humboldt penguins, and no link between their foraging behaviour and their physiological stress. However, we acknowledge that our sample size is small and that more studies are needed. This study contributes with information on the physiological stress and foraging behaviours of Humboldt penguins in Northern Chile. This information can help to understand context-dependent differences in physiological parameters and foraging behaviours for the species.

description: Dose selection during antiparasitic drug development in animal models and humans traditionally has relied on correlations between plasma concentrations obtained at or below maximally tolerated doses that are efficacious. The objective of this study was to improve the understanding of the relationship between dose and plasma/tissue exposure of the model antiparasitic agent, pafuramidine, using a semiphysiologically based pharmacokinetic (semi-PBPK) modeling approach. Preclinical and clinical data generated during the development of pafuramidine, a prodrug of the active metabolite, furamidine, were used. A whole-body semi-PBPK model for rats was developed based on a whole-liver PBPK model using rat isolated perfused liver data. A whole-body semi-PBPK model for humans was developed on the basis of the whole-body rat model. Scaling factors were calculated using metabolic and transport clearance data generated from rat and human sandwich-cultured hepatocytes. Both whole-body models described pafuramidine and furamidine disposition in plasma and predicted furamidine tissue (liver and kidney) exposure and excretion profiles (biliary and renal). The whole-body models predicted that the intestine contributes significantly (30–40%) to presystemic furamidine formation in both rats and humans. The predicted terminal elimination half-life of furamidine in plasma was 3- to 4-fold longer than that of pafuramidine in rats (170 versus 47 h) and humans (64 versus 19 h). The dose-plasma/tissue exposure relationship for the prodrug/active metabolite pair was determined using the whole-body models. The human model proposed a dose regimen of pafuramidine (40 mg once daily) based on a predefined efficacy-safety index. A similar approach could be used to guide dose-ranging studies in humans for next-in-class compounds.

description: A direct and systematic algorithm is proposed to find one-dimensional optimal system for the group invariant solutions, which is attributed to the classification of its corresponding one-dimensional Lie algebra. Since the method is based on different values of all the invariants, the process itself can both guarantee the comprehensiveness and demonstrate the inequivalence of the optimal system, with no further proof. To illustrate our method more clearly , we give a couple of well-known examples: the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and the heat equation.

description: (S)-Warfarin 7-hydroxylation and midazolam 1′-hydroxylation are among the preferred probe substrate reactions for CYP2C9 and CYP3A4/5, respectively. The impact of solvents on enzyme activity, kinetic parameters, and predicted in vivo hepatic clearance (ClH) associated with each reaction has not been evaluated. The effects of increasing concentrations [0.1–2% (v/v)] of six organic solvents (acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetone, isopropanol) were first tested on each reaction using human liver microsomes (HLMs), human intestinal microsomes (midazolam 1′-hydroxylation only), and recombinant enzymes. Across enzyme sources, relative to water, acetonitrile and methanol had the least inhibitory effect on (S)-warfarin 7-hydroxylation (0–58 and 9–96%, respectively); acetonitrile, methanol, and ethanol had the least inhibitory effect on midazolam 1′-hydroxylation (0–29, 0–22, and 0–20%, respectively). Using HLMs, both acetonitrile and methanol (0.1–2%) decreased the Vmax (32–60 and 24–65%, respectively) whereas methanol (2%) increased the Km (100%) of (S)-warfarin-hydroxylation. (S)-Warfarin ClH was underpredicted by 21–65% (acetonitrile) and 13–84% (methanol). Acetonitrile, methanol, and ethanol had minimal to modest impact on both the kinetics of midazolam 1′-hydroxylation (10–24%) and predicted midazolam ClH (2–20%). In conclusion, either acetonitrile or methanol at ≤0.1% is recommended as the primary organic solvent for the (S)-warfarin 7-hydroxylation reaction; acetonitrile is preferred if higher solvent concentrations are required. Acetonitrile, methanol, and ethanol at ≤2% are recommended as primary organic solvents for the midazolam 1′-hydroxylation reaction. This information should facilitate optimization of experimental conditions and improve the interpretation and accuracy of in vitro-in vivo predictions involving these two preferred cytochrome P450 probe substrate reactions.
title: A corpus-based comparative study of pragmatic markers: I mean and you know in native and non-native conversation
Creators: name: Mei, Wensheng
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2013

description: This study investigates how the two pragmatic markers I mean and you know are used by Chinese EFL learners as compared to British speakers. To describe how these two markers by used by the Chinese learners, this study first investigates how they are used in the British speakers’ data. To obtain a finer picture of how they are used by the native speakers, the interpretation of their pragmatic meanings is open to all plausible explanations instead of being confined to one single theory or framework. As a result, this study sets up its own categories and comes up with much longer function lists than previous studies. In addition, a new framework is proposed. Following the completion of a detailed description of the pragmatic functions of I mean and you know, a detailed and systemic comparison between them in terms of the specific functions they play and their positioning are carried out on the grounds that these two markers are analyzed by following the same approach in the same data set. By highlighting the similarities and differences between them and explaining why, the comparison improves our understanding how they relate to each other in conversation. Compared to the British speakers, the Chinese learners show different patterns of I mean and you know in their L2 English. The main features of the learners’ uses of I mean and you know are: firstly, I mean is markedly under-represented and less pragmatized while you know is markedly over-represented and more pragmatized; secondly, both I mean and you know are used in more restricted contexts; finally, the pragmatic functions of I mean are more evenly distributed while you know heavily depends on a very small number of functions. Since I mean and you know are very unlikely to be taught in the classroom, the accounting for the patterns of them in the learners’ data is approached from the perspective of second language acquisition. This study follows the assumption that learners’ L2 production can be seen as the result of the interaction of all potential factors and the importance of a certain factor varies from one L2 phenomenon to another. The analysis seems to suggest that the learners’ uses of I mean are greatly influenced by the congruence between the pragmatic meaning and semantic meaning of I mean while the learners’ uses of you know are mainly affected by L1 influence. Other factors that seem to have impact on the production of both markers include the tasks performed by the learners and the learners’ proficiency level.

description: Let $(X,d_X,μ)$ be a metric measure space where $X$ is locally compact and separable and $μ$ is a Borel regular measure such that $0 0$. We define $\mathcal{X}$ to be the set of all positive, finite non-zero regular Borel measures with compact support in $X$ which are dominated by $μ$, and $\mathcal{M}=\mathcal{X} \cup \{0\}$. By introducing a kind of mass transport metric $d_{\mathcal{M}}$ on this set we provide a new approach to first order Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces, first by introducing such for real valued functions $F$ on $\mathcal{X}$, and then for real valued functions $f$ on $X$ by identifying them with the unique function $F_f$ on $\mathcal{X}$ defined by the mean-value integral: $$F_f(η)= \frac{1}{\|η\|} \int f dη.$$ In the final section we prove that the approach gives us the classical Sobolev spaces when we are working in open subsets of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ with Lebesgue measure.
title: 'Headlight' theology : the rise and fall of legitimate commerce in Yorubaland 1839-1893
Creators: name: Olajide Abimbola, Johnson
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: The study examines the history, operation and growth of Legitimate ('lawful') Commerce in Yorubaland, and its utilization as a missionary strategy for abrogating the Slave Trade and empowering indigenous Christians in Yorubaland. It examines also the decline of Legitimate Commerce after some three decades. This study hence explores theory and practice from the neglected angle of theology and argues that the absence of such consideration has given too negative an image to modern mission in Africa. The traditional idea of portraying the missionaries' commercial experiment as a continuity of British enterprise in Africa, or as a prelude to imperialism, is here rejected on the basis of the documentary evidence. Rather, although Legitimate Commerce lost its vitality as an economic alternative for Africa, its operation shows that it stood out as a missionary strategy for abrogating the unlawful Slave Trade. This thesis critically examines the experiment from the period of the influence of Legitimate Commerce in the 1840s to the time of its decline from the 1870s. Such an evaluation of the vital missionary economic emancipation strategy in Yorubaland is the main concern of this thesis. This research uses primary materials in missionary archives to investigate three key issues that distinguish missionaries' economic initiative from the indiscriminate enterprises of nineteenth-century traders in Yorubaland. It fills some of the missing links in missionary sources with information from resolutions and minutes of selected English Chambers of Commerce, the Liverpool Journal of Commerce, the Manchester Guardian, the Liverpool Daily Courier, the John Holt Papers and some official papers of the Foreign and the Colonial Offices. Contrary to the popular view that missionaries were agents for advancement of imperial nations' social, economic and political interests, it is argued that Legitimate Commerce was genuinely beneficial to those to whom it was directed.
title: Simulations of chiral ordering of achiral molecules by Density Functional Theory and Monte Carlo
Creators: name: Lin, Haiping
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: The self-organization of organic molecules on metal surfaces can play a crucial role in various subjects of science such as electrochemistry and heterogeneous catalysis. However, their practical applications have been suffering from lack of atomic scale understanding of the ordering behavior. Theoretically, however, the description of the self-assembly processes has been limited by the inability of microscopic models to account for the interplay of all elementary processes at realistic temperatures and pressures. In this work, we take the succinate molecules and Cu(1IO) surface as a model system to study the nature of the asymmetric self-assembly behavior of the achiral adsorbates on an achiral surface. In the first step, density-functional theory (DFT) is used to accurately characterize the molecule-surface system on the microscopic level. The obtained energetics is then employed to parameterize a lattice gas Hamiltonian, which subsequently allows to address the mesoscopic ordering behavior at finite temperatures by means of ~v1onte Carlo simulations. Two well-defined ordered structures have appeared in the rvlonte Carlo simulations. The (5 0, 3 2) structure has been confirmed to be the ground state configuration by direct DFT calculations. This structure has not been reported before and it can be the ordering configuration observed in some STrvI experiments. By summing up all the calculations, the nature of the self-organization behavior of succinate molecules on Cu(llO) is attributed to the indirect lateral interactions of the adsorbates. This result may provide a new understanding of designing two dimensional periodic architectures on metal surfaces. Supplied by The British Library - 'The world's knowledge'

description: Research into Organic Electronics has increased dramatically over the past 20 years. Organic Electronics cannot compete with single crystal silicon for speed and circuit complexity, but it can be regarded as a competitor because of its potential to produce very large area circuits at low process temperatures and low cost. Potential applications for conjugated polymer devices include photovoltaic cells (low cost solar panel), optical amplifiers, memory, displays (in conjunction with e-paper and large area LCD's) and radio frequency (RFID). Many of these devices will use Thin Film Transistors (TFTs). TFT characteristics are therefore discussed with 'an emphasis on the hysteresis observed; the results observed indicate that one ofthe causes ofhysteresis is ion movement. A number of different current-voltage equations have been derived for the drain current channel. It is important to develop these equations to determine the effect of treating the real variation in the concentration of carriers, normal to the interface. In addition, how this large variation in the density of carriers gives rise to an enhancement of carrier mobility at the interface is approached, has been examined. It has been shown that for devices fabricated using PTAA; the most appropriate equation is that which assumes the exponential distribution of states depends on electron concentration. MOS capacitors are important test structures; they are useful because of the light they shed on electrical instability in organic devices, MOS capacitors characteristics have therefore been discussed before the hysteresis they display has been examined. The following mechanisms of hysteresis in MOS capacitors have been examined: carrier hopping, carrier percolation, gate leakage current, ion movement in the semiconductor and instability in the gate dielectric. The main causes of instability appear to be oxygen ions in the semiconductor and in the gate dielectric. The hysteresis observed in Schottky diodes has also been examined; contributing factors appear to include ion movement and diffusion. Values for Meyer Neldels energy for ; . Schottky diodes fabricated using Lisicon (undoped) have been calculated to be 5.0.10-21 ; this value increases when dopant is added; this is expected as doping introduces more states and at high levels of doping leads to Fermi level pinning. As Organic Electronics is growing rapidly into an industry, it is vital to have aroadmap; to allow equipment manufacturers and semiconductor technologists to plan targets for the future, this piece of work provides a roadmap for Organic Electronics. One of the major potential uses of Organic Electronics is believed to be in the area of auto hI/rf tags, for example, the replacement of the barcode, the roadmap therefore concentrates on this area; it has been predicted that by the year 2030 full barcode replacement will be available at an economic cost.

description: Faecal glucocorticoid metabolite (fGCM) analysis provides a non-invasive, feedback-free approach for monitoring adrenocortical responses to natural and anthropogenic stressors. The use of enzyme-immunoassays (EIAs) to quantify immunoreactive fGCMs has gained popularity in recent years but requires species-specific validation prior to first use. We conducted a pharmacological challenge with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) to determine whether changes in circulating glucocorticoids are reflected in fGCM, concentrations and therefore to validate excreta as a matrix for monitoring endocrine status in a southern African passerine, the White-browed Sparrow-weaver (Plocepasser mahali) and a columbid, the Laughing Dove (Spilopelia capensis). We tested the suitability of four EIAs to quantify fGCMs in 10 individuals of each species. Two of the EIAs, tetrahydrocorticosterone and 11-Oxoetiocholanolone II, detected significant elevations and were therefore most suitable for quantifying fGCMs in the White-browed Sparrow-weavers. In contrast, the 5α-pregnane-3β, 11β, 21-triol-20-one EIA detected the highest elevations in fGCM concentrations in the Laughing Doves. The lag time between stressor initiation (ACTH injection) and the resulting peak fGCM concentrations was ~2 h in both species. The validations presented here open opportunities for monitoring physiological responses in free-ranging individuals and contribute to our knowledge of the EIAs suitable for non-invasive quantification of avian fGCM concentrations.

Creators: name: Turu'allo, Gidion
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2014

description: Concrete mixes incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) has not gained popularity in fast track construction. It is believed to be due to its slower strength development at early age cured under standard curing temperature. The benefits that are obtained when using GGBS in concrete such as economic, sustainability and durability are discussed. Two grades of mortars/concretes i.e. C45 and C75 containing GGBS at levels of 0, 20, 35, 50 and 70% have been investigated to give guidance for their use in fast track construction. The effect of curing temperature on the strength development of mortars/concretes containing different levels of GGBS at early and later age have been investigated by testing strength of the mortars/concretes. The mortars were cured at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 500C and adiabatically cured conditions; while the concrete specimens were cured at 20 and 500C, as well under adiabatic curing conditions. The mortars/concretes were tested at age of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 365 days. There were also five mixes for lightweight concrete and three mixes for self compacting concrete that cast and cured under different temperatures of 20, 30, 40 and 500C, as well as under adiabatic curing conditions. This aims to evaluate the strength development of this kinds of concrete cured at different curing temperatures. The cubes were tested at the age of 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28-days. The heat outputs using of equivalent mortar mixes are measured using isothermal calorimeter. This is used to assess the temperature sensitivity of the strength development of GGBS concrete. It is also used to investigate the contribution of GGBS on the heat output produced in the hydration of binder. The accuracy of the existing maturity methods, which were developed based on concrete with Portland cement only, is evaluated to predict the strength of GGBS concrete investigated in this study. A new method, which is called Modified Nurse-Saul (MNS) method, is recently developed to predict strength development of concrete in this study. This method is used to predict the strength development of both Portland cement and GGBS concretes, as well as to predict the heat output development of equivalent mixes mortar. Finite element modelling was used to predict the temperature rise in concrete. Both the predicted heat output obtained from adiabatic test and isothermal calorimeter were used as heat sources. The predicted temperature is used to predict the strength development of concrete.

description: White-capped Albatrosses Thalassarche steadi breed only on New Zealand’s sub-Antarctic islands, principally the Auckland Islands. The species is commonly caught as bycatch in global longline and trawl fisheries, and it has been estimated that 8 000 birds are killed each year. In December or January between 2006 and 2017 we undertook annual population censuses of the White-capped Albatrosses breeding at the Auckland Islands using aerial photography. Estimated annual counts for the three breeding sites were adjusted using estimates of the proportion of birds clearly not associated with an active nest (loafers), to estimate annual breeding pairs for each breeding season. The estimated mean number of annual breeding pairs in the Auckland Islands during this period was 89 846 with high inter-annual variability (range: 74 031–116 025). Over the 12 years of the study adjusted counts for all sites combined showed a negative linear trend but this relationship was not statistically significant. Similar analyses using TRIM classified the population as ‘stable’. Given the estimated number of annual breeding pairs and the high frequency of biennial breeding it is likely that fisheries bycatch, if it has been estimated accurately, is impacting this population. Continuation of annual monitoring is recommended to increase the precision of the estimated population trend and help determine if the high levels of bycatch across multiple fisheries are sustainable in the long term.

description: A widely used metric of substrate exposure in brain is the brain-to-serum partition coefficient (Kp,brain; Cbrain/Cserum), most appropriately determined at distribution equilibrium between brain tissue and serum. In some cases, Cbrain/Cserum can peak and then decrease, as opposed to monotonically increasing to a plateau, precluding accurate estimation of partitioning. This “overshoot” has been observed with compounds that undergo enterohepatic recycling (ER), such as valproic acid (VPA). Previous simulation experiments identified a relationship between overshoot in the Cbrain/Cserum versus time profile and distribution into a peripheral “compartment” (e.g., the ER loop). This study was conducted to evaluate model predictions of that relationship. Initial experiments tested the ability of activated charcoal, antibiotics, or Mrp2 deficiency to impair VPA ER in rats, thereby limiting the apparent volume of distribution associated with ER. Mrp2 deficiency (significantly) and antibiotics (moderately) interrupted VPA ER. Subsequently, brain partitioning was evaluated in the presence versus absence of ER modulation. Although overshoot was not eliminated completely, deconvolution revealed that overshoot was reduced in Mrp2-deficient and antibiotic-treated rats. Consistent with model predictions, overshoot was higher after antibiotic treatment (moderate ER interruption) than in Mrp2 deficiency (substantial ER interruption). Steady-state Kp,brain was unaffected by experimental manipulation, also consistent with model predictions. These data support the hypothesis that Cbrain/Cserum may overshoot Kp,brain based on the extent of peripheral sequestration. Consideration of this information, particularly for compounds that undergo significant extravascular distribution, may be necessary to avoid erroneous estimation of Kp,brain.

description: In this paper we report on the results of a numerical study of the nonlinear time-dependent Bardeen--Cooper--Schrieffer (BCS) equations, often also denoted as Bogoliubov--de--Gennes (BdG) equations, for a one-dimensional system of fermions with contact interaction. We show that, even above the critical temperature, the full equations and their linear approximation give rise to completely different evolutions. In contrast to its linearization, the full nonlinear equation does not show any diffusive behavior in the order parameter. This means that the order parameter does not follow a Ginzburg--Landau-type of equation, in accordance with a recent theoretical results. We include a full description on the numerical implementation of the partial differential BCS\ BdG equations.

description: In this paper we study the following problem: Discrete partitioning problem (DPP): Let $\mathbb{F}_q P^n$ denote the $n$-dimensional finite projective space over $\mathbb{F}_q$. For positive integer $k \leq n$, let $\{ A^i\}_{i=1}^N$ be a partition of $(\mathbb{F}_q P^n)^k$ such that (1) for all $i \leq N$, $A^i = \prod_{j=1}^k A^i_j$ (partition into product sets), (2) for all $i \leq N$, there is a $(k-1)$-dimensional subspace $L^i \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q P^n$ such that $A^i \subseteq (L^i)^k$. What is the minimum value of $N$ as a function of $q,n,k$? We will be mainly interested in the case $k=n$.

description: Despite increasing recognition of potential untoward interactions between herbal products and conventional medications, a standard system for prospective assessment of these interactions remains elusive. This information gap was addressed by evaluating the drug interaction liability of the model herbal product milk thistle (Silybum marianum) with the CYP3A probe substrate midazolam. The inhibitory effects of commercially available milk thistle extracts and isolated constituents on midazolam 1′-hydroxylation were screened using human liver and intestinal microsomes. Relative to vehicle, the extract silymarin and constituents silybin A, isosilybin A, isosilybin B, and silychristin at 100 μM demonstrated >50% inhibition of CYP3A activity with at least one microsomal preparation, prompting IC50 determination. The IC50s for isosilybin B and silychristin were ∼60 and 90 μM, respectively, whereas those for the remaining constituents were >100 μM. Extracts and constituents that contained the 1,4-dioxane moiety demonstrated a >1.5-fold shift in IC50 when tested as potential mechanism-based inhibitors. The semipurified extract, silibinin, and the two associated constituents (silybin A and silybin B) demonstrated mechanism-based inhibition of recombinant CYP3A4 (KI, ∼100 μM; kinact, ∼0.20 min−1) but not microsomal CYP3A activity. The maximum predicted increases in midazolam area under the curve using the static mechanistic equation and recombinant CYP3A4 data were 1.75-fold, which may necessitate clinical assessment. Evaluation of the interaction liability of single herbal product constituents, in addition to commercially available extracts, will enable elucidation of mechanisms underlying potential clinically significant herb-drug interactions. Application of this framework to other herbal products would permit predictions of herb-drug interactions and assist in prioritizing clinical evaluation.

An interactive framework for visually realistic 3D motion synthesis using evolutionarily-trained spiking neural networks
Creators: name: Patil, Aditi

Year: 2023

description: We present an end-to-end method for capturing the dynamics of 3D human characters and translating them for synthesizing new, visually-realistic motion sequences. Conventional methods employ sophisticated, but generic, control approaches for driving the joints of articulated characters, paying little attention to the distinct dynamics of human joint movements. In contrast, our approach attempts to synthesize human-like joint movements by exploiting a biologically-plausible, compact network of spiking neurons that drive joint control in primates and rodents. We adapt the controller architecture by introducing learnable components and propose an evolutionary algorithm for training the spiking neural network architectures and capturing diverse joint dynamics. Our method requires only a few samples for capturing the dynamic properties of a joint's motion and exploits the biologically-inspired, trained controller for its reconstruction. More importantly, it can transfer the captured dynamics to new visually-plausible motion sequences. To enable user-dependent tailoring of the resulting motion sequences, we develop an interactive framework that allows for editing and real-time visualization of the controlled 3D character. We also demonstrate the applicability of our method to real human motion capture data by learning the hand joint dynamics from a gesture dataset and using our framework to reconstruct the gestures with our 3D animated character. The compact architecture of our joint controller emerging from its biologically-realistic design, and the inherent capacity of our evolutionary learning algorithm for parallelization, suggest that our approach could provide an efficient and scalable alternative for synthesizing 3D character animations with diverse and visually-realistic motion dynamics.
