Assessment and monitoring of ballistic and maximal upper-body strength qualities in athletes
, 2015 Purpose: To evaluate whether the dynamic strength index (DSI: ballistic peak force/isometric peak force) could be effectively used to guide specific training interventions and detect training-induced changes in maximal and ballistic strength.

On the Assembly of Actin Polymerization‐Powered Motors
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Actin polymerization‐powered motors have the highest speed when the actin recruiting‐polymerizing proteins are immobilized in polymer brushes on their surface. These motors orbit around larger tracer particles at pH above the isoelectric point of ActA but dock onto the tracer particles’ surface at lower pH. ABSTRACT Nano‐ and micromotors are a class of

Advanced Materials for Composite Armour
, 2009 PhDComposite integral armour plays an important role in future combat system. Despite numerous experimental studies there are still disadvantages such as complex manufacturing process, relatively big damage area, difficult to repair and limit shape etc.

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Childhood‐onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic ...

Turbulent pair dispersion in the presence of gravity
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Turbulent pair dispersion of heavy particles is strongly altered when particles of two different Stokes numbers (bidisperse) are considered, and this is further compounded when a uniform gravitational acceleration is present.

Ergonomics, design and reliability of body armour [PDF]
, 2011 The wearing of body amour has become a necessity for many professions and much work has gone into the optimisation of the mechanics of protection. In the present study a broader view of the effects of ergonomics, design, reliability and protection has

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Needle punching reorients fibers from in‐plane direction toward z‐direction of the web, resulting in mechanical interlocking of fibers and reduction in the nonwoven mat thickness. ABSTRACT Replacement of glass fiber mats, utilized in large and complex composite parts in the transportation industry, with natural fiber mats requires knowledge of natural ...

Optimising the success of random destructive searches: Levy walks can outperform ballistic motions
, 2009 International audienceWe re-evaluate the long standing and widely held belief that ballistic movements (i.e. straight-lines movements) outperform Lévy walks when searching for targets that once located are not revisited. The belief stems from the results
