Falls prevention in China: time for action [PDF]
À l'échelle mondiale, les chutes sont un problème de santé publique majeur pour les personnes âgées (≥65 ans). Environ un tiers des personnes âgées et la moitié des personnes âgées de 80 ans et plus subissent au moins une chute par an.1,2 Les chutes sont non seulement la principale cause de mortalité liée aux blessures, mais elles sont également à l ...

Effect of Earth's rotation on the trajectories of free-fall bodies in Equivalence Principle Experiment [PDF]
Owing to Earth's rotation a free-fall body would move in an elliptical orbit rather than along a straight line forward to the center of the Earth. In this paper on the basis of the theory for spin-spin coupling between macroscopic rotating bodies we ...

Effects of hemodialysis therapy on sit-to-walk characteristics in end stage renal disease patients [PDF]
Patients with end stage renal diseases (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have high morbidity and mortality due to multiple causes; one of which is dramatically higher fall rates than the general population.

There is a growing interest in simulating natural phenomena in computer graphics applications. Animating natural scenes in real time is one of the most challenging problems due to the inherent complexity of their structure, formed by millions of geometric entities, and the interactions that happen within.

SIMULATION OF TRANSLATIONAL - ROTATIONAL MOTION OF WOOD PARTICLES DURING THE PROCESS OF PARTICLE ORIENTATION [PDF]
The simulation from the motion of flat particle revealed that the fall depends on the height of the drop, the thickness and density of the particles and does not depend on its length and width. The drop in air is about 20% longer than in vacuum.

Aspect Ratio Dependence of the Free-Fall Time for Non-Spherical Symmetries [PDF]
We investigate the collapse of non-spherical substructures, such as sheets and filaments, which are ubiquitous in molecular clouds. Such non-spherical substructures collapse homologously in their interiors but are influenced by an edge effect that causes
