Young children can use their subjective straight-ahead to remap visuo-motor alterations

Jenifer Cléa Miehlbradt

Young children and adults process spatial information differently: the former use their bodies as primary reference, while adults seem capable of using abstract frames. The transition is estimated to occur between the 6th and the 12th year of age. The mech ...

Rapid motion estimation and correction using self-encoded FID navigators in 3D radial MRI

Tobias Kober, Davide Piccini

Purpose: To develop a self-navigated motion compensation strategy for 3D radial MRI that can compensate for continuous head motion by measuring rigid body motion parameters with high temporal resolution from the central k-space acquisition point (self-enco ...

Interactions of Cavitation Bubbles with Deformable Interfaces

Armand Baptiste Sieber

Cavitation is a topic that has long been of interest due to the large and growing range of applications associated with it. This is mainly because the collapse of cavitation bubbles releases a considerable amount of energy into the surrounding environment. ...

Experimental and numerical investigation of the unbalance behavior of rigid rotors supported by spiral-grooved gas journal bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Elia Iseli

The forced response of rigid rotors, supported by herringbone-grooved gas journal bearings are investigated numerically and experimentally. The rotor configurations are varied by using end cylinders, attached at both sides of the shaft. Three rotors with d ...

Dynamics of cavitation bubbles near granular boundaries

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

We study the dynamics of a cavitation bubble near beds of sand of different grain sizes. We use high-speed imaging to observe the motion of the bubble and the sand for different values of the stand-off parameter gamma (dimensionless bubble-boundary distanc ...

Are Existing Monocular Computer Vision-Based 3D Motion Capture Approaches Ready for Deployment? A Methodological Study on the Example of Alpine Skiing

Pascal Fua, Helge Jochen Rhodin

In this study, we compared a monocular computer vision (MCV)-based approach with the golden standard for collecting kinematic data on ski tracks (i.e., video-based stereophotogrammetry) and assessed its deployment readiness for answering applied research q ...

Ambulatory Assessment of the Dynamic Margin of Stability Using an Inertial Sensor Network

Silvestro Micera

Loss of stability is a precursor to falling and therefore represents a leading cause of injury, especially in fragile people. Thus, dynamic stability during activities of daily living (ADLs) needs to be considered to assess balance control and fall risk. T ...

Scalable closed-form trajectories for periodic and non-periodic human-like walking

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji

We present a new framework to generate humanlike lower-limb trajectories in periodic and non-periodic walking. In our method, walking dynamics is encoded in 3LP, a linear simplified model composed of three pendulums to simulate falling, swing, and torso ba ...

Gender medicine and oncology: report and consensus of an ESMO workshop

Jacques Fellay

Background: The importance of sex and gender as modulators of disease biology and treatment outcomes is well known in other disciplines of medicine, such as cardiology, but remains an undervalued issue in oncology. Considering the increasing evidence for t ...

Balance Control Strategies during Standing in a Locked-Ankle Passive Exoskeleton

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola, Romain Pierre François Baud, Tristan Hubert Vouga

This paper investigates sensorimotor adaptation strategies of sagittal postural control in healthy subjects under kinematic constraints. A passive exoskeleton named CAPTUR, with locked ankle joints and legs motion restrained to the sagittal plane is used t ...

Theoretical study of an electrostatically actuated torsional microsensor for biological applications

We develop an analytical formulation to calculate the induced resonance frequency shifts of an electrostatically actuated torsional microsensor due to an added bio-mass (E. coli). Based on a lumped-parameter model, we investigate the static and the linear ...

Dissipative particle dynamics simulations of tri-block co-polymer and water: Phase diagram validation and microstructure identification

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In this study, the phase diagram of Pluronic L64 and water is simulated via dissipative particle dynamics (DPD). The peculiar structures that form when the concentration varies from dilute to dense (i.e., spherical and rod-like micelles, hexagonal and lame ...

A new method to break the mass-sheet degeneracy using aperture moments

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Markus Rexroth

Mass determinations from gravitational lensing shear and the higher order estimator flexion are both subject to the mass-sheet degeneracy. Mass sheet degeneracy refers to a transformation that leaves the reduced shear and flexion invariant. In general, thi ...

Seismic behaviour of slab-column connections without transverse reinforcement

Ioannis Sokratis Drakatos

Reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs supported by slender columns are often used as gravity load resisting system for buildings in regions of moderate and high seismicity. Such buildings are typically braced by RC walls, which carry the largest portion of t ...
