The Effects of Viewing Cute Pictures on Performance During a Basketball Free-Throw Task
Previous studies have shown that viewing cute pictures leads to performance improvement in a subsequent fine motor task. We examined the beneficial effects of viewing cute pictures in a more complex sporting skill (i.e., basketball free throws) by ...

Vertical axis wind turbine drive train transient dynamics [PDF]
Start up of a vertical axis wind turbine causes transient torque oscillations in the drive train with peak torques which may be over two and one half times the rated torque of the turbine.

Robust nonlinear estimation and control of clutch-to-clutch shifts
Shift quality is an integral component of driveability. Thus, it is of paramount importance that control methods be developed for ensuring good shift quality. Increasingly, automatic transmissions employ a combination of two actively controlled clutches to implement shifts, which makes the gearshifts clutch-to-clutch shifts.

Germline TP53 Mutations Causing Diamond–Blackfan Anemia: A French Report
ABSTRACT Diamond–Blackfan anemia is a rare congenital erythroblastopenia typically caused by mutations in ribosomal protein genes. Recently, gain‐of‐function mutations in TP53 have been identified as a novel cause of Diamond–Blackfan anemia. We report two French patients who both harbored a heterozygous TP53 deletion (NM_000546.5: c.1077delA; p ...

ABSTRACT Background PIK3CA‐related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) includes several rare overgrowth disorders resulting from somatic gain‐of‐function mutations in PIK3CA. Despite treatment advances, including the recent approval of alpelisib for PROS in the United States, literature detailing the patient experience with PROS is limited.

ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

Weak and Tunable Adhesion–Clutch Drives Rapid Cell Migration and Glioblastoma Invasion
To move forward, cells must exert backward forces against their surrounding environment. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of integrin‐independent forces for cell migration; however, the molecular machinery that exerts forces remains unclear.

Non-backdriveable free wheeling coupling [PDF]
A rotary coupling for connecting a driven part to a source of rotary force is described. This device transmits rotary force in one direction only and disengages to permit the driven part to free wheel when the input member is stopped and precludes the ...

ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...
