Fatigue behavior of transverse attachments under constant and variable amplitude loading from a Swiss motorway bridge

Alain Nussbaumer, Davide Leonetti, Yukina Takai

This paper investigates the fatigue behavior of non-load-carrying transverse welded steel attachments by reporting on an experimental characterization under constant and variable amplitude loading. Fatigue cracks have been monitored using DIC and ACPD tech ...

Pedicle screw navigation using surface digitization on the Microsoft HoloLens

Davide Scaramuzza, Jess Snedeker

Purpose In spinal fusion surgery, imprecise placement of pedicle screws can result in poor surgical outcome or may seriously harm a patient. Patient-specific instruments and optical systems have been proposed for improving precision through surgical naviga ...

The ultimate and proximate mechanisms driving the evolution of long tails in forest deer mice

Susanne Petra Pfeifer

Understanding both the role of selection in driving phenotypic change and its underlying genetic basis remain major challenges in evolutionary biology. Here, we use modern tools to revisit a classic system of local adaptation in the North American deer mou ...

Characterization of lower-limbs inter-segment coordination during the take-off extension in ski jumping

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Julien Chardonnens

Take-off, the most important phase in ski jumping, has been primarily studied in terms of spatio-temporal parameters, with little known about its motor control aspects. This study aims to assess the inter-segment coordination of the shank-thigh and thigh-s ...

Undirected compensatory plasticity contributes to neuronal dysfunction after severe spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Pavel Musienko, Rubia van den Brand, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler, Janine Beauparlant

Severe spinal cord injury in humans leads to a progressive neuronal dysfunction in the chronic stage of the injury. This dysfunction is characterized by premature exhaustion of muscle activity during assisted locomotion, which is associated with the emerge ...

Analysis of inter-segment coordination during the take-off of ski jumping

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Julien Chardonnens

In ski jumping, take-off (TO) is considered as the most important phase. While spatio-temporal features have been identified during this phase, inter-segment coordination has never been investigated. This study proposed a new method using body worn inertia ...
