Vertical and Leg Stiffness Modeling During Running: Effect of Speed and Incline

Kamiar Aminian, Grégoire Millet, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard, Frédéric Meyer

A spring mass model is often used to describe human running, allowing to understand the concept of elastic energy storage and restitution. The stiffness of the spring is a key parameter and different methods have been developed to estimate both the vertica ...

Selection of Water-Soluble Chitosan by Microwave-Assisted Degradation and pH-Controlled Precipitation

Sandrine Gerber, Céline Marie Anne Journot, Laura Camille Louise Nicolle, Yann Lavanchy

In the field of gene therapy, chitosan (CS) gained interest for its promise as a non-viral DNA vector. However, commercial sources of CS lack precise characterization and do not generally reach sufficient solubility in aqueous media for in vitro and in viv ...

Carbon turnover and microbial activity in an artificial soil under imposed cyclic drainage and imbibition

Tatjana Milojevic

Water table fluctuations generate temporally and spatially dynamic physicochemical conditions that drive biogeochemical hot spots and hot moments in the vadose zone. However, their role in the cycling of soil C remains poorly known. Here, we present result ...

On the physical mechanism of tip vortex cavitation hysteresis

Mohamed Farhat, Matthieu Dreyer, Ali Amini, Martino Reclari

Inception and desinence thresholds of tip vortex cavitation (TVC), generated by an elliptical NACA 16-020 hydrofoil, are measured at different flow conditions for various gas contents. It is observed that TVC often disappears at cavitation indices signific ...

Hydraulic Reconstruction of the 1818 Gietro Glacial Lake Outburst Flood

Christophe Ancey, Eric Bardou, Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios

In the spring of 1818, ice avalanches from the Gietro Glacier created an ice dam, which in turn formed a glacial lake in the Drance Valley (Canton of Valais, Switzerland). Today, its maximum volume is estimated to have been 25x10(6) m(3). Cantonal authorit ...
