Effects of lower limb biomechanical characteristics on jump performance in female volleyball players based on long Stretch–Shortening cycle movements

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
BackgroundIn volleyball, certain maneuvers (e.g., depth jumps) involve a long stretch-shortening cycle (long-SSC) characterized by a prolonged landing-to-takeoff phase (ground contact time ≥222 ms). However, the key biomechanical factors influencing jump

Bulk‐Like Spin Cycloid and Fast Switching in Freestanding BiFeO3

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Freestanding BiFeO3 membranes overcome substrate‐induced constraints by simultaneously restoring the intrinsic bulk‐like spin cycloid and enabling ≈50% faster ferroelectric switching than substrate‐clamped epitaxial thin films. This combination of robust noncollinear antiferromagnetic order and efficient electric‐field switching establishes ...

Study on pattern of height growth in boys : Analysis on velocity curve [PDF]

, 1985
Pattren of height growth has been studied in twelve years of longitudinal data of standing height; ages from 6 to 17 years of high school boys (231 boys) who were grouped according to their peak height velocity ages (PHV ages) into 5 groups for boys.

Thermoresponsive Liquid Crystalline Polymer Coatings Programmed by Field‐Induced Topological Defects for Tunable Optical and Topographical Responses

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Resonant standing waves generate large‐area lattices of liquid‐crystal topological defects that are permanently encoded into polymer coatings by photopolymerization. The preserved director architecture produces thermally reconfigurable surface topographies while maintaining programmable optical functionality, demonstrating a scalable strategy for ...

2D Skeletal Muscle Thin Film Actuators Enhance Efficiency of Biohybrid Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D skeletal muscle thin film actuators generate millinewton‐scale forces and millimeter‐scale strokes while remaining functional for over 30 days. Their force density is 20‐fold higher than 3D skeletal muscle actuators, enabling multi‐fin robots with tunable speed and multidirectional steering.

Peripubertal lung growth pattern in Japanese school children

Physiological Reports
The peripubertal growth pattern of lung function remains underexplored in relation to height growth. This study aimed to first clarify the relationship between the age at peak growth velocity in lung function variables and the age at peak height velocity
