The effect of different designs of custom foot orthoses on pain and balance in individuals with plantar fasciitis: A randomized controlled trial with 6‐month follow‐up

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common cause of heel pain that significantly affects daily activities. Although custom foot orthoses (CFOs) are widely used to treat this condition, there is limited evidence comparing different orthotic designs and their effects on balance parameters.

Coupled diabatic and frictional forcing of single‐layer vortical flow

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A single‐layer balanced model is used to illustrate how diabatic and frictional forcing of a primary balanced vortical flow can be coupled self‐consistently, including the advection of potential vorticity by the induced transverse circulation. The coupling is illustrated in the context of a developing tropical cyclone, in which boundary‐layer dynamics ...

Determination of solar insolation in Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike using a photoresistor

open access: yes, 2006
The average daily insolation in Umudike has been determined at a figure of 7KWhm-2 per day using the correlation between solar insolation and the solar resistance of a cadmium sulphide photoresistor cell.

Decadal‐scale drivers of South Pacific hydroclimate variability

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using prescribed SST perturbations in the IGCM4 model, we investigate the mechanisms by which three major modes of low‐frequency climate variability—the IPO, AMV, and Southern Ocean SST‐driven midlatitude jet shifts—modulate the South Pacific hydroclimate.

Piezoelectric Insole

open access: yesInternational Journal of Recent Development in Engineering and Technology, 2021
Envisaged research planned so as to turn the kinetic energy generated by walking into power, which is then deposited in a compact battery pack, into a shoe insole. Health has been on the edge because of our hectic and torpid lives. Here we address a system utilizing piezoelectric material that furnishes mobile devices as an alternate means of powering ...

Renewable Resource Curse Hypothesis: Could Renewable Resources Foster Sustainable Development?

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores whether the resource curse hypothesis applies to renewable energy by introducing a novel metric of renewable resource rent. Using a panel dataset of 46 countries (2010–2022), we define renewable rent as the product of electricity generation and the gap between industrial electricity price and levelized cost (LCOE).

The importance of insolation changes for paleo ice sheet modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The growth and retreat of continental ice sheets in the past has largely been a response to changing climatic forcing. Since ablation is the principal component of mass loss for land-based ice sheets, the calculation of surface melt is an important ...

Integrating Artificial Intelligence With PPE: A Smart Boiler Suit Framework for Maritime Survey Applications

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a conceptual framework for an AI‐enhanced smart boiler suit, shifting maritime surveyor safety from reactive to proactive monitoring. Through integrated sensor networks and edge AI analytics, the proposed architecture offers a robust modular roadmap for advancing intelligent personal protective equipment in hazardous offshore and ...

The Peculiarities of the Operation of Logging Roads in the Spring-Winter Period

open access: yesЛесной журнал
Seasonal roads are not capital construction objects. Unlike all-season ones, they can be of summer and winter action. During the transport development of forests, both allseason paved roads and temporary unpaved roads are required. The share of temporary

January 2019 snowstorms over the Balkan Peninsula

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
Northern Greece lacks peer‐reviewed case studies of major snowstorms. This article analyses two January 2019 snowstorms in the Balkan Peninsula and explains why snowfall was extreme at parts of Northern Greece. Satellite imagery shows sharp local contrasts in snow cover and persistence.
