Effects of seat back height and posture on 3D vibration transmission to pelvis, trunk and head [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Vibration transmission is essential in the design of comfortable vehicle seats but knowledge is lacking on 3D trunk and head motion and the role of seat back and posture. We hypothesized that head motion is reduced when participants upper back is unsupported, as this stimulates active postural control.

Integrability in anyonic quantum spin chains via a composite height model [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 85, 115116 (2012), 2011 Recently, properties of collective states of interacting non-abelian anyons have attracted a considerable attention. We study an extension of the `golden chain model', where two- and three-body interactions are competing. Upon fine-tuning the interaction, the model is integrable.

Rave: A non-parametric method for recovering the surface brightness and height profiles of edge-on debris disks [PDF]
, 2022 Extrasolar analogues of the Solar System's Kuiper belt offer unique constraints on outer planetary system architecture. Radial features such as the sharpness of disk edges and substructures such as gaps may be indicative of embedded planets within a disk. Vertically, the height of a disk can constrain the mass of embedded bodies.

Comparison of 3D scanned human models for off-body communications using motion capture [PDF]
, 2012 Body area networks are complex to analyze as there are several channel mechanisms occurring simultaneously, i.e. environmental multipath together with body motion and close coupling between worn antennas and human tissue.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Non-optimality of conical parts for Newton's problem of minimal resistance in the class of convex bodies and the limiting case of infinite height [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We consider Newton's problem of minimal resistance, in particular we address the problem arising in the limit if the height goes to infinity. We establish existence of solutions and lack radial symmetry of solutions. Moreover, we show that certain conical parts contained in the boundary of a convex body inhibit the optimality in the classical Newton's ...
