Phase transition mechanism and bandgap engineering of Sb2S3 at gigapascal pressures
Antimonite (Sb2S3) has potential applications for solar energy, but how its layered structure changes under pressure is incompletely understood. Here diamond anvil cell experiments supported by first principles calculations offer a structural explanation

High-pressure thermoelasticity of body-centered-cubic tantalum [PDF]
We have investigated the thermoelasticity of body-centered cubic (bcc) tantalum from first principles by using the linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) and mixed--basis pseudopotential methods for pressures up to 400 GPa and temperatures up to 10000 K.

Sex-specific relevance of diabetes to occlusive vascular and other mortality : a collaborative meta-analysis of individual data from 980 793 adults from 68 prospective studies [PDF]
Background: Several studies have shown that diabetes confers a higher relative risk of vascular mortality among women than among men, but whether this increased relative risk in women exists across age groups and within defined levels of other risk ...

Circular Components in Center of Pressure Signals
Static posturography provides an objective assessment of postural control by characterizing the body sway during upright standing. The center of pressure (COP) signal is recorded by a force platform, and it is analyzed by means of many different models and techniques.

Quantifying center of pressure variability in chondrodystrophoid dogs [PDF]
The center of pressure (COP) position reflects a combination of proprioceptive, motor and mechanical function. As such, it can be used to quantify and characterize neurologic dysfunction. The aim of this study was to describe and quantify the movement of COP and its variability in healthy chondrodystrophoid dogs while walking to provide a baseline for ...
