This study investigated the plantar pressure distribution during gait on woodensurface with different slipperiness in the presence of contaminants. Fifteen Chinesemales performed ten walking trials on a 5-meter wooden walkway wearing cloth shoein four contaminated conditions (dry, sand, water, oil). A pressure insole system wasemployed to record the plantar pressure data at ...

[1] In order to probe the subsurface dynamics associated with geyser eruptions, we measured ground deformation at Old Faithful Geyser of Calistoga, CA. We present a physical model in which recharge during the period preceding an eruption is driven by pressure differences relative to the aquifer supplying the geyser. The model predicts that pressure and ground deformation are characterized by an...

[1] Clear atmospheric pressure changes associated with the 2003 Tokachi-Oki, Japan, earthquake with Mw 8.3 were recorded with the microbarographs distributed in Japan. The pressure change starts at the arrival of seismic waves and reaches its maximum amplitude at the arrival of Rayleigh waves, suggesting that the observed pressure change was driven by the ground motion of seismic waves passing ...

The interference of the direct wave from the point source to the receiver and the wave reflected from the impedance ground in a turbulent atmosphere is studied. A parabolic equation approach for calculating the sound pressure p at the receiver is formulated. Then, the parabolic equation is solved by the Rytov method yielding expressions for the complex phases of direct and ground-reflected wave...

A simple model is used to study the equilibrium of lipid domains on two-phase vesicles. Two classes of configurations are considered: multidomain and ground state configurations. For multidomain configurations, the vesicle has a finite number of identical lipid domains. For ground state configurations, the vesicle is fully phase separated into two coexisting domains. Whereas the volume enclosed...

BACKGROUND The authors assumed that advanced lumbar disk disease contributes to disorders of body balance and asymmetry of foot pressure force on the ground. Surgery improves biomechanical relations in the lumbar spine, thus decreasing the disturbance of postural balance and foot load. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was carried out among 40 patients treated in Military Clinical Hospital in Wr...

(57)Fe nuclear forward scattering on the chiral magnet FeGe reveals an extremely large precursor phase region above the helimagnetic ordering temperature T(C)(p) and beyond the pressure-induced quantum phase transition at 19 GPa. The decrease of the magnetic hyperfine field ⟨B(hf)⟩ with pressure is accompanied by a large increase of the width of the distribution of ⟨B(hf)⟩, indicating a strong ...

Ground water and surface water create a range of problems in lignite mining utilizing surface mining methods. In order to create a safe and economic mining environment, it is essential to carry out mining after dewatering the rock mass surrounding the lignite mines by advance dewatering techniques. This paper briefly describes the ground water regimes including pressure gradients associated wit...
