Characterizing children’s eating patterns: does the choice of eating occasion definition matter?
International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2021 Background Recommendations to define eating occasions (EO) currently exist for research in adults, but not for children or adolescents. We examined how varying EO definitions affect the characterization of eating patterns in children and adolescents ...

A generic coupling between internal states and activity leads to activation fronts and criticality in active systems [PDF]
Physical Review Letters 133, 058301 (2024), 2023 To understand the onset of collective motion, we investigate active systems where particles switch on and off their self-propulsion. We prove that even when the only possible transition is off$\to$on, an active 2-state system behaves as an effective 3-state system that exhibits a sharp phase transition in 1D, and critical behavior in 2D, with scale ...

Migration of Active Rings in Porous Media [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 106, 014504, (2022), 2021 Inspired by how the shape deformations in active organisms help them to migrate through disordered porous environments, we simulate active ring polymers in two-dimensional random porous media. Flexible and inextensible active ring polymers navigate smoothly through the disordered media.

Development of a behavioural support intervention for e-bike use in Australia
BMC Public Health, 2022 Background Insufficient physical activity (PA) is a risk factor for the development of many non-communicable diseases. Electric bicycles (e-bikes) offer considerable potential to support people to be physically active, however, no previous e-bike ...

Physical Activity and Sarcopenia [PDF]
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2011 Physical activity can be a valuable countermeasure to sarcopenia in its treatment and prevention. In considering physical training strategies for sarcopenic subjects, it is critical to consider personal and environmental obstacles to access opportunities for physical activity for any patient with chronic disease.

Dynamic shapes of floppy vesicles enclosing active Brownian particles with membrane adhesion [PDF]
Soft Matter 19, 3436-3449 (2023), 2023 Recent advances in micro- and nano-technologies allow the construction of complex active systems from biological and synthetic materials. An interesting example is active vesicles, which consist of a membrane enclosing self-propelled particles, and exhibit several features resembling biological cells.
