Impact forces and shock deceleration during jumping and running have been associated with various knee injury etiologies. This study investigates the influence of jump height and knee contact angle on peak ground reaction force and segment axial accelerations. Ground reaction force, segment axial acceleration, and knee angles were measured for 6 male subjects during vertical jumping. A simple s...

The hydraulic stability of rocks and other non-cohesive sediments is often described by so-called threshold conditions. These conditions describe the stability of the stones in terms of critical values of the velocity, wave height, or shear stress. The influence of fluid accelerations in most of these conventional design methods has been neglected or has been processed empirically. For various ...

We report a catalytically promiscuous enzyme able to efficiently promote the hydrolysis of six different substrate classes. Originally assigned as a phosphonate monoester hydrolase (PMH) this enzyme exhibits substantial second-order rate accelerations ((k(cat)/K(M))/k(w)), ranging from 10(7) to as high as 10(19), for the hydrolyses of phosphate mono-, di-, and triesters, phosphonate monoesters,...

solar mini-dimmings can be detect in the extreme ultra-violet coronal eruptions. here, sequences of 171_a images taken by solar dynamic observatory/atmospheric imaging assembaly on 13 june 2010 are used. in this special day, both of coronal mass ejection and prominence were observed. the average velocities and accelerations of 500 mini-dimmings which were detected using on feature based classif...

Symbolic model checking provides partially effective verification procedures that can handle systems with an infinite state space. So-called “acceleration techniques” enhance the convergence of fixpoint computations by computing the transitive closure of some transitions. In this paper we develop a new framework for symbolic model checking with accelerations. We also propose and analyze new sym...

Upper body movements during walking provide information about balance control and gait stability. Typically developing (TD) children normally present a progressive decrease of accelerations from the pelvis to the head, whereas children with cerebral palsy (CP) exhibit a general increase of upper body accelerations. However, the literature describing how they are transmitted from the pelvis to t...
