Does Long‐Term Lower Extremity Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis and Varus Alignment Reduce Knee Joint Loading During Gait?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Conformal Classification of (k, μ)-Contact Manifolds [PDF]

, 2010
First we improve a result of Tanno that says If a conformal vector field on a contact metric manifold M is a strictly infinitesimal contact transformation, then it is an infinitesimal automorphism of M by waiving the strictness in the hypothesis ...

Conformal quasi-Yamabe soliton and conformal gradient quasi-Yamabe soliton on 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold [PDF]

In the framework of a three-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold, the main objective of the present paper is to provide a complete analysis of conformal quasi-Yamabe soliton as well as conformal gradient quasi-Yamabe soliton.

A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,

Gauge interpretation of characteristic classes [PDF]

, 2001
Let π:P→M be a principal G-bundle. Then one can consider the following diagram of fibre bundles: \CD J^{1}(P) @>\pi_{10}>> P\\ @VqVV @VV\pi V\\ C(P) @>p>> M\endCD where p is the bundle of connections of π. As is well known, q is also a principal G-bundle,

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.

On infinitesimal conformal and projective transformations of normal contact spaces

Tohoku Mathematical Journal, 1962
Introduction. In the previous paper [ 4 ]° the author discussed some properties of normal contact spaces. However, problems concerning infinitesimal transformations have not been studied. In the present paper such problems are concerned and some satisfactory answers are given. In § 1, we state the fundamental identities of normal contact spaces. In § 2,

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Characterizations of Q-solitons on (almost) coKähler manifolds and its applications in magneto-fluid spacetimes

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
In the present article, we introduce Q-solitons, a generalization of Riemann solitons, on (almost) coKähler manifolds (ACKM, in short). Here we obtain a necessary condition from which we establish that a compact ACKM admitting Q-soliton whose soliton ...

Design and Analysis of Compression–Torsion Coupling Metamaterials Using the Golden Section Method

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A novel compression–torsion metamaterial is engineered using inclined rods and symmetry breaking. To optimize its torsional performance, the golden section method is employed. The mechanical response of the metamaterial is validated through both numerical analysis and experimental validation.
