Cluster Analysis of Center-of-Pressure Measures [PDF]
− Postural stability analysis is useful in a variety of applications, such as assessing the risk of falls for older adults or investigating neuromuscular disorders. Variations in the center-of-pressure (COP) are often used to assess postural stability. The COP is a point where the vertical reaction forces of the ground act.

Melting of Iron Explored by Electrical Resistance Jump up to 135 GPa
The melting temperature (Tm) of iron at megabar pressures constrains the Earth's core temperature structure and dynamics. Previous experimental studies demonstrated large discrepancies in Tm at high pressures.

Effects of Ram-Pressure from Intracluster Medium on the Star Formation Rate of Disk Galaxies in Clusters of Galaxies [PDF]
Using a simple model of molecular cloud evolution, we have quantitatively estimated the change of star formation rate (SFR) of a disk galaxy falling radially into the potential well of a cluster of galaxies.

Transparent conducting oxides (TCO) with high electrical conductivity and high visible light transparency are desired for a wide range of high‐impact engineering. Yet, usually, a compromise must be made between conductivity and transparency, limiting the

Quantitative Estimates of Environmental Effects on the Star Formation Rate of Disk Galaxies in Clusters of Galaxies [PDF]
A simple model is constructed to evaluate the change of star formation rate of a disk galaxy due to environmental effects in clusters of galaxies. Three effects, (1) tidal force from the potential well of the cluster, (2) increase of external pressure ...

Band gap closure, incommensurability and molecular dissociation of dense chlorine
Molecular systems are predicted to transform into atomic solids and be metallic at high pressure; this was observed for the diatomic elements iodine and bromine. Here the authors access the higher pressures needed to observe the dissociation in chlorine,

Subducted oceanic crust is enriched in free silica. Although being one of the silica polymorphs at lower‐mantle pressures, niccolite‐type phase (Nt‐phase) has not been documented in multicomponent metabasaltic or metasediment compositions relevant to ...

Author Correction: Band gap closure, incommensurability and molecular dissociation of dense chlorine
The original version of this Article omitted references to previous experimental reports on solid hydrogen that are relevant for a full understanding of the context of the previous work. The added references are: 47. Akahama, Y. et al.

Structural transitions of 4:1 methanol–ethanol mixture and silicone oil under high pressure
A 4:1 (volume ratio) methanol–ethanol (ME) mixture and silicone oil are two of the most widely used liquid pressure-transmitting media (PTM) in high-pressure studies.

A Velostat-Based Pressure-Sensitive Mat for Center-of-Pressure Measurements: A Preliminary Study [PDF]
Center-of-pressure (CoP) displacements play a key role in studies assessing postural stability. The accepted instrument to measure CoP trajectories is the force platform, but pressure-sensitive mats (PSMs) are an alternative composed of a matrix of sensitive cells. A typical cell comprises two electrodes with piezoresistive material in between, while a
