    Abstract
    It is known that children with DCD have difficulties organizing actions involving coordination between limbs or limb pairs (e.g., Astill, 2007; Volman, Laroy, & Jongmans, 2006). It is also apparent that a coalition of constraints forces certain movement patterns to emerge at any level of organization (Newell, 1985). No research has examined how children with and without DCD solve the degrees of freedom problem, in the face of relevant constraints, during uni-manual goal-directed actions.

      Intra-limb coordination and control in individuals with stroke. Conceptual and methodological considerations 

      Perrier, Michael (2022)
      Stroke results in substantial difficulties in reaching and grasping actions, which may emerge at different levels of coordination and control, in both the spatial and temporal domains. In the context of motor control, ...

      Coordination chemistry of bithiazole ligands: a comparative study of the 2,2’ and 4,4’ isomers 

      Marroush, Jamila (2019)
      The bithiazole ring system consists of two thiazole (C3NS) aromatic rings. There are many regioisomers but two of potential interest for coordination chemistry are the 2,2’-bis(1,3-thiazole) and the 4,4’-bis(1,3-thiazole), ...
