This proposal puts forth a groundbreaking multiterminal coding paradigm for intelligent machines enabling data compression and communication systems that break the current limits of the predictive coding archetype. It builds a unique concept that uni...

During hospitalization, older adults rapidly lose muscle mass, leading to functional decline unrelated
to their admission condition. It is well documented that immobility significantly weakens muscles,
particularly in those over 60, with effect...
