Effect of ballistic exercise program on shoulder dynamic stability, throwing performance and shoulder strength among university level female cricket bowlers

open access: yesBangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal
Background: Bowling in cricket is a ballistic movement requiring rapid force generation. The Thrower's Ten and Ballistic Six programs are widely used for overhead athletes to enhance shoulder performance. Unlike general ballistic exercises, the Ballistic

Mercury orbiter transport study [PDF]

open access: yes
A data base and comparative performance analyses of alternative flight mode options for delivering a range of payload masses to Mercury orbit are provided. Launch opportunities over the period 1980-2000 are considered. Extensive data trades are developed

Incoherent scattering can favorably influence energy filtering in nanostructured thermoelectrics

open access: yes, 2017
Investigating in detail the physics of energy filtering through a single planar energy barrier in nanostructured thermoelectric generators, we reinforce the non-trivial result that the anticipated enhancement in generated power at a given efficiency via ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Experimental and numerical study on CuO/ZnO-modified aramid fabric for ballistic and UV radiation protection

open access: yesPolymer Testing
Aramid fabrics are widely used in bulletproof armor because of their excellent mechanical properties. Previous studies have shown that ultraviolet radiation has a negative effect on the mechanical properties of aramid yarn, so improving the mechanical ...

Performance Analysis of Strained Monolayer MoS$_{2}$ MOSFET

open access: yes, 2013
We present a computational study on the impact of tensile/compressive uniaxial ($\varepsilon_{xx}$) and biaxial ($\varepsilon_{xx}=\varepsilon_{yy}$) strain on monolayer MoS$_{2}$ NMOS and PMOS FETs.

Reduced Hand Specialization and Idiosyncratic Visuomotor Strategies in Autism During Naturalistic Object Manipulation

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autistic individuals exhibit altered perceptual and visuomotor behaviors, potentially due to reduced cortical specialization. The current study focuses on handedness, a robust marker of cerebral specialization, which is less right‐biased in autism.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Multiple scattering limit in optical microscopy

open access: yes, 2017
Optical microscopy offers a unique insight of biological structures with a sub-micrometer resolution and a minimum invasiveness. However, the inhomogeneities of the specimen itself can induce multiple scattering of light and optical aberrations which ...

Analytic Ballistic Performance Model of Whipple Shields

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2015
AbstractThe dual-wall, Whipple shield is the shield of choice for lightweight, long-duration flight. The shield uses an initial sacrificial wall to initiate fragmentation and melt an impacting threat that expands over a void before hitting a subsequent shield wall of a critical component.
