Numerical analysis for detecting head losses in trifurcations of high head in hydropower plants

François Avellan, Ramiro Gustavo Ramirez Camacho

Many different types of branching have been developed, such as bifurcation, trifurcation, and manifolds, among others. These configurations are used in penstocks to transport water from surge tanks to power houses in order to feed several turbines at the s ...

Development of a New Embedded Dynamometer for the Measurement of Forces and Torques at the Ski-Binding Interface

Alain Schorderet, Frédéric Meyer, Alain Michel Prenleloup

In alpine skiing, understanding the interaction between skiers and snow is of primary importance for both injury prevention as well as performance analysis. Risk of injuries is directly linked to constraints undergone by the skier. A force platform placed ...

Peripersonal space (PPS) as a multisensory interface between the individual and the environment, defining the space of the self

Andrea Serino

Our brain has developed a specific system to represent the space closely surrounding the body, termed pen personal space (PPS). This space has a key functional role as it is where all physical interactions with objects in the environment occur. Here I desc ...

Statistical Learning Impairments as a Consequence of Stroke

Statistical learning is the implicit learning of the contingencies between sequential stimuli, typically from mere exposure. It is present from infancy onward, and plays a role in functions from language learning to selective attention. Despite these obser ...

Hypertonic Lactate to Improve Cerebral Perfusion and Glucose Availability After Acute Brain Injury

Pierre Magistretti, Jocelyne Bloch

Objectives: Lactate promotes cerebral blood flow and is an efficient substrate for the brain, particularly at times of glucose shortage. Hypertonic lactate is neuroprotective after experimental brain injury; however, human data are limited. Design: Prospec ...

Selective Recruitment of Arm Motoneurons in Nonhuman Primates Using Epidural Electrical Stimulation of the Cervical Spinal Cord

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Giuseppe Schiavone, Marco Capogrosso, Beatrice Barra, Camille Roux

Recovery of reaching and grasping ability is the priority for people with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has shown promising results in improving motor control after SCI in various animal models and in humans. Nota ...

Advantages of soft subdural implants for the delivery of electrochemical neuromodulation therapies to the spinal cord

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Marco Capogrosso, Pavel Musienko, Ivan Rusev Minev, Nikolaus Wenger, Jérôme Gandar, Polina Shkorbatova, Nathan Antoine Greiner

Objective. We recently developed soft neural interfaces enabling the delivery of electrical and chemical stimulation to the spinal cord. These stimulations restored locomotion in animal models of paralysis. Soft interfaces can be placed either below or abo ...

Design of a measuring device for Mallet Finger treatment

Khawla Belqadhi

A mallet finger is an injury that affects the extensor tendon at the Distal interphalangeal joint (DIP). It results from a hyperflexion of the said tendon which can result in a stretching or tearing of the tendon or an avulsion of the tendon’s insertion on ...
