Abstract This study aimed to determine whether the recently developed Flow Motion Technology ® roller-ski prototype could improve indicators of performance during sub-maximal and maximal cross-country roller skiing. Thirteen national international skiers completed 2 experimental trials: 1 with activated, allowing a rocking motion between foot ski binding, fixed in traditional manner. Each trial...

Large-area, lightweight and flexible sensing networks are highly demanded in complex (either structural topology or material property) health monitoring (SHM) applications. Development of piezopolymer offers a feasible solution. In pursuit maximum exploitation their functionality, the optimal fabrication technique requires to be investigated first. this study, PVDF-TrFE coatings were in-situ fa...

In Fe 2 Co Nb O 9 , magneto-electric ME poling induces below T N an electric polarization P whose magnitude increases with the magnetic field H . Large values and steep responses to are explained by a microscopic model based on random distribution of Co.

Bringing efficient second-order nonlinear effects in integrated photonics is an important task motivated by the prospect of enabling all possible optical functionalities on chip. Such has proved particularly challenging silicon photonics, as materials best suited for photonic integration lack susceptibility ($\chi^{(2)}$). Methods inducing effective $\chi^{(2)}$ such have recently opened new op...
