Hypogravity modeling of upper extremities: an investigation of manual handling in the workplace

Experiments on the lower limbs are the only approaches being used to study how hypogravity (HG) (0 < g < 1, e.g., Moon: 1/6 g, Mars: 3/8 g) affects human movement. The goal of this study was to expand this field experimentally by investigating the effect o ...

Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions

Tatiana Maillard

The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...

Characterizing human mobility patterns in rural settings of sub-Saharan Africa

Andrea Rinaldo, Theophile Mande, Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Human mobility is a core component of human behavior and its quantification is critical for understanding its impact on infectious disease transmission, traffic forecasting, access to resources and care, intervention strategies, and migratory flows. When m ...

Multithermal-Multibaric Molecular Simulations from a Variational Principle

Pablo Miguel Piaggi, Michele Parrinello

We present a method for performing multithermal-multibaric molecular dynamics simulations that sample entire regions of the temperature-pressure (TP) phase diagram. The method uses a variational principle [Valsson and Parrinello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 0906 ...

Gravity-Independent Oscillate Boiling

Mohamed Farhat, Outi Supponen

Heat transfer in nucleate boiling relies on the detachment and rise of the boiling bubble, in which gravity plays the dominant role. Previous studies showed that in the absence of gravity, the bubble fails to rise, causing the dryout of the heater and sign ...

Surface tension and viscosity of liquid Pd43Cu27Ni10P20 measured in a levitation device under microgravity

Roland Logé, Antonia Neels, Alex Dommann

Here we present measurements of surface tension and viscosity of the bulk glass-forming alloy Pd43Cu27Ni10P20 performed during containerless processing under reduced gravity. We applied the oscillating drop method in an electromagnetic levitation facility ...

Virtual Zero Gravity Impact on Internal Gravity Model

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Elisa Canzoneri

This project investigates the impact of a virtual zero gravity experience on the human gravity model. In the planned experiment, subjects are immersed with HMD and full body motion capture in a virtual world exhibiting either normal gravity or the apparent ...

Scale anomalies, states, and rates in conformal field theory

Marc Gillioz

This paper presents two methods to compute scale anomaly coefficients in conformal field theories (CFTs), such as the c anomaly in four dimensions, in terms of the CFT data. We first use Euclidean position space to show that the anomaly coefficient of a fo ...

Thermoelasticity of Fe3+- and Al-bearing bridgmanite: Effects of iron spin crossover

Matteo Cococcioni

We report ab initio (LDA + U-sc) calculations of thermoelastic properties of ferric iron (Fe3+)- and aluminum (Al)-bearing bridgmanite (MgSiO3 perovskite), the main Earth forming phase, at relevant pressure and temperature conditions and compositions. Thre ...

Experimental assessment of the speed of light perturbation in free-fall absolute gravimeters

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Precision absolute gravity measurements are growing in importance, especially in the context of the new definition of the kilogram. For the case of free fall absolute gravimeters with a Michelson-type interferometer tracking the position of a free falling ...
