Walking Speed of Children and Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy: Laboratory Versus Daily Life

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

The purpose of this pilot study was to compare walking speed, an important component of gait, in the laboratory and daily life, in young individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and with typical development (TD), and to quantify to what extent gait observed in ...

The Adapted Lifestyle-Integrated Functional Exercise Program for Preventing Functional Decline in Young Seniors: Development and Initial Evaluation

Wei Zhang

Background: The Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program is an intervention integrating balance and strength activities into daily life, effective at reducing falls in at-risk people >= 70 years. There is potential for LiFE to be adapted to ...

The role of storage in the Swiss energy transition

François Maréchal, Stefano Moret, Xiang Li

The transition towards more sustainable, fossil-free energy systems is interlinked with a high penetration of stochastic renewables, such as wind and solar. In this context, energy storage technologies of different kinds - namely electrical, thermal and ch ...

Young runoff fractions control streamwater age and solute concentration dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter

We introduce a new representation of coupled solute and water age dynamics at the catchment scale, which shows how the contributions of young runoff waters can be directly referenced to observed water quality patterns. The methodology stems from recent tre ...

Study of the influence of over-the-counter vitamin supplement intake on urine fluorescence to optimize cancer detection by fluorescence cystoscopy

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Carla Martoccia

Fluorescence cystoscopy (FC) efficiently enhances the detection and improves the therapeutic management of early bladder cancer. During an FC, about 150 ml of water is needed to inflate the bladder. The water is quickly diluted by urine which can be fluore ...
