Safety and Effectiveness of Stoss Therapy in Children with Vitamin D Deficiency [PDF]
Objectives: Paediatric vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D - 25OHD) deficiency can lead to nutritional rickets and extra-skeletal complications. Compliance with daily therapy can be difficult, making high dose, short-term vitamin D (stoss) therapy attractive ...

A spatial impedance controller for robotic manipulation [PDF]
Mechanical impedance is the dynamic generalization of stiffness, and determines interactive behavior by definition. Although the argument for explicitly controlling impedance is strong, impedance control has had only a modest impact on robotic ...

Compliance of the cerebrospinal space: comparison of three methods
Cerebrospinal compliance describes the ability of the cerebrospinal space to buffer changes in volume. Diminished compliance is associated with increased risk of potentially threatening increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) when changes in ...

A quasistatic frictional contact problem with adhesion for nonlinear elastic materials
The aim of this paper is to study a quasistatic contact problem between a nonlinear elastic body and a foundation. The contact is adhesive and frictional and is modelled with a version of normal compliance condition and the associated Coulomb's law of

The Social Psychology Of Perception Experiments: Hills, Backpacks, Glucose, And The Problem Of Generalizability [PDF]
Experiments take place in a physical environment but also a social environment. Generalizability from experimental manipulations to more typical contexts may be limited by violations of ecological validity with respect to either the physical or the ...

Compliance of a microfibril subjected to shear and normal loads [PDF]
Many synthetic bio-inspired adhesives consist of an array of microfibrils attached to an elastic backing layer, resulting in a tough and compliant structure. The surface region is usually subjected to large and nonlinear deformations during contact with an indenter, leading to a strongly nonlinear response.
