D‐HAT: A Diatom‐Inspired Structure for a Helmet Concept Against Trauma

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems
Helmets are critical for minimizing the risk of traumatic brain injuries in road accidents and sports. Traditional designs feature a rigid outer shell and a deformable inner liner of foam for energy absorption.

Perceptions of Safety and Support among High School Football Players Utilizing a Helmet Impact Detection System

open access: yesGraduate Medical Education Research Journal, 2019
Introduction: Concussions are common in high school football athletes and can have short and long-term health impacts. New football helmets furnished with accelerometers that detect rate and location of impact have recently emerged.

Primary blast wave protection in combat helmet design: A historical comparison between present day and World War I.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Since World War I, helmets have been used to protect the head in warfare, designed primarily for protection against artillery shrapnel. More recently, helmet requirements have included ballistic and blunt trauma protection, but neurotrauma from primary ...

Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Terrain park injuries and risk factors in western Canadian resorts, 2008–2009 to 2017–2018: insights for risk management

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living
Terrain parks (TP) are popular attractors to snowsport resorts for both skiers and snowboarders, however there is some concern about the risk of severe injury. TP risk management needs to balance the business case against the human cost of injury.

A Critical Time Window of Neocortex Modulation for Remote Fear Memory in Rats and Humans

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a delayed consolidation window around 18 h after fear learning in the mPFC essential for remote fear memory. VTA dopaminergic input during this window sustains remote memory in rats, while non‐invasive stimulation of homologous human mPFC at the corresponding time selectively weakens remote but not recent fear memory, revealing a ...

Helmets VS. No Helmets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Motorcycle helmet safety. Here in KY there is no helmet law in place at this time. It is completely up to each individual to decide if they choose to wear a helmet or not.

Tumor Exposomics: A New Paradigm for Individualized Continuous Exposure Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Tumor exposomics integrates continuous monitoring of environmental exposures, endogenous biological responses, and behavioral factors within a unified temporal framework. By combining multimodal sensing technologies with AI‐enabled causal modeling, this emerging paradigm reconstructs exposure‐damage trajectories and supports individualized dynamic risk

Explaining the Origin of Negative Poisson's Ratio in Amorphous Networks With Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This review summarizes how machine learning (ML) breaks the “vicious cycle” in designing auxetic amorphous networks. By transitioning from traditional “black‐box” optimization to an interpretable “AI‐Physics” closed‐loop paradigm, ML is shown to not only discover highly optimized structures—such as all‐convex polygon networks—but also unveil hidden ...
