Finite element modelling of an energy–storing prosthetic foot during the stance phase of transtibial amputee gait [PDF]

, 2011
Energy-storing prosthetic feet are designed to store energy during mid-stance motion and to recover it during latestance motion. Gait analysis is the most commonly used method to characterize prosthetic foot behaviour during walking. In using this method,

The Pollutant Diethylhexyl Phthalate Regulates Hepatic Energy Metabolism via Species-Specific PPARα-Dependent Mechanisms

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2010
The modulation of energetic homeostasis by pollutants has recently emerged as a potential contributor to the onset of metabolic disorders. Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used industrial plasticizer to which humans are widely exposed. Phthalates can activate the three peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) isotypes on cellular ...

Properties of bio-based gum Arabic/clay aerogels [PDF]

, 2016
Lightweight bio-based aerogels from sustainable gum Arabic (GA) and sodium montmorillonite (Na+-MMT) clay were prepared by means of a simple freeze-drying process. GA/clay aerogels showed high porosity (87.9%–94.9%) of mainly open type and the mechanical

Architecture-independent power bound for vibration energy harvesters [PDF]

, 2013
The maximum output power of energy harvesters driven by harmonic vibrations is well known for a range of specific harvester architectures. An architecture-independent bound based on the mechanical input-power also exists and gives a strict limit on ...

Physicochemical and sensory characterization of an extruded product from blue maize meal and orange bagasse using the response surface methodology

CyTA - Journal of Food, 2018
The mixtures of blue cornmeal and orange bagasse were processed in a single screw laboratory extruder. We used an experimental design, central composite rotatable, where the factors were as follows: extruder die temperature (153–187°C), feed moisture ...

A Study of Static and Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of the Substrate in Ultrasonic Consolidation [PDF]

, 2006
A new 2-D FEM model is developed for a fundamental study of the time dependent mechanical behavior of the substrate in ultrasonic consolidation. The simulation shows that for a given vibration condition, the amplitude of contact friction stress and ...
