The constant improvement of polymer composite materials has allowed their integration in many industrial fields where their mechanical and chemical properties are apparently attractive. Mixed metal-composite insulators are now increasingly used for high vo ...
Commercially available graphite and ceramic fibers exhibit statistical strength distributions having separate Weibull moduli rho' for the scaling of strength versus fiber length and rho for the distribution of strengths across a collection of fibers at fix ...
Background Physical and functional losses due to aging and diseases decrease human mobility, independence, and quality of life. This study is aimed at summarizing and quantifying these losses in order to motivate solutions to overcome them with a special f ...
Electricity swing options represent a special kind of American-style path dependent power derivatives. Thus, valuation of a swing option is inevitably linked to the determination of an optimal excercise strategy up to the end of the option's exercise perio ...

OBJECTIVE: To determine effects of walking or standing on hepatic blood flow of horses after brief, intense exercise. ANIMALS: 6 adult Thoroughbreds (4 mares, 2 geldings). PROCEDURE: Horses were preconditioned on a treadmill to establish uniform level of f ...
MotionMakerTM is a robotic system that employs functional electrical stimulation (FES) of leg muscles to allow subjects with complete or partial paralysis of the legs to perform exercises. To achieve the greatest benefit from exercise muscles should do wor ...
We present a model to predict and represent human fatigue in a 3D interactive system. A fatigue model has been developed for the fatigue assessment of several joints of the human body within the static case hypothesis. The model incorporates normalized tor ...
We studied the possible involvement of corticosteroids in the establishment and long-term expression of contextual fear conditioning and questioned whether a corticosteroid action might be dependent upon stimulus intensity at training. Experiments included ...
Downhill skiers enter a different dimension on the racecourse, but they are still subject to the laws of physics. A new Swiss system integrates GPS, video, and biosensors for precise position, velocity and heart-rate measurement, helping coaches and athlet ...
