Velocity profiles of turbidity currents flowing over a flat bed

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun

Turbidity currents are the main source of suspended sediment transport in reservoirs and thus one of the main causes of sedimentation. One of the techniques used to avoid reservoir sedimentation is through venting of turbidity currents. In the framework of ...

One Step from the Locomotion to the Stepping Pattern

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla, Utku Evci

The locomotion pattern is characterized by a translation displacement mostly occurring along the forward frontal body direction, whereas local repositioning with large re-orientations, i.e. stepping, may induce translations both along the frontal and the l ...

Transport of gaseous pollutants by convective boundary layer around a human body

Dusan Licina

This study investigates the ability of the human convective boundary layer to transport pollution in a quiescent indoor environment. The impact of the source location in the vicinity of a human body is examined in relation to pollution distribution in the ...

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Jiancheng Yang, Murielle Bochud, Zhaoming Wang

Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height. By testing different numbers of variants in independent studies, we show that th ...

Peripubertal stress-induced behavioral changes are associated with altered expression of genes involved in excitation and inhibition in the amygdala

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Orbicia Riccio Wicht

Early-life stress is a critical risk factor for developing psychopathological alterations later in life. This early adverse environment has been modeled in rats by exposure to stress during the peripubertal period-that is, corresponding to childhood and pu ...

Human body effects on the matching of a 2.45 GHz coplanar-fed antenna

Nuno Miguel Faria Pires

This paper presents a coplanar-fed antenna designed to operate close to the human body in the 2.45 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band. The antenna matching is studied in free space and in body proximity. Two models of the human arm, with flat and ...

Control approaches for robotic knee exoskeleton and their effects on human motion

Tadej Petric

In this paper we compare three noninvasive control methods for a robotic knee exoskeleton and asses their kinematic influences on the repetitive squatting motions of able-bodied human subjects. The motion of the subjects wearing the knee exoskeleton was al ...

Growth and characterization of fullerene nanocrystals on NaCl/Au(111)

Wolf-Dieter Schneider, François Patthey, Marina Pivetta, Frédéric Rossel, Elizabeta Cavar

The growth of fullerene nanocrystals, composed of only C-60, only C-70, or a mixture of both fullerenes, has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The nanocrystals, formed on a NaCl ultrathin layer partially covering a Au(111) surface, ...

Mental imagery for full and upper human bodies: common right hemisphere activations and distinct extrastriate activations

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr, Silvio Ionta

The processing of human bodies is important in social life and for the recognition of another person's actions, moods, and intentions. Recent neuroimaging studies on mental imagery of human body parts suggest that the left hemisphere is dominant in body pr ...
