Work fluctuations for a harmonically confined Active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Particle [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
We study the active work fluctuations of an active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particle in the presence of a confining harmonic potential. We tackle the problem analytically both for stationary and generic uncorrelated initial states. Our results show that harmonic confinement can induce singularities in the active work rate function, with linear stretches at ...

Associations between physical activity, screen time, sleep time and selected academic skills in 8/9-year-old children

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2023
Background High levels of physical activity (PA), low levels of screen time, combined with sufficient sleep time, provide better health benefits. However, few studies have examined the association of these behaviours with academic skills. Therefore, this

Defect Line Coarsening and Refinement in Active Nematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Active matter is naturally out of equilibrium which results in the emergence of diverse dynamic steady states, including the omnipresent chaotic state known as the active turbulence. However, much less is known how active systems dynamically depart out of these configurations, such as get excited or damped to a different dynamic steady state.

Physical Activity And Pain

open access: yesJournal of Education, Health and Sport, 2017
Introduction: Undertaking physical activity is often associated with the appearance of proverbial "sourdoughs". DOMS (Delayed Oneset Muscle Soreness), or delayed musculoskeletal muscle pain, known as the aforementioned "soreness", is a consequence of intense physical activity for microtraumas of muscle fibers.

Exposure and Exercise Training in Hypoxic Conditions as a New Obesity Therapeutic Modality: A Mini Review

open access: yesJournal of Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome, 2018
Obesity is an important health problem caused by positive energy balance. Generally, low calorie dietary intake combined with regular exercise is the most common modality to lose bodily fat in obese people.

Modifiable factors which predict children’s gross motor competence: a prospective cohort study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2019
Background Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are important for physical activity and healthy weight status in children, yet it is unclear which early childhood factors facilitate subsequent motor skill.

Physical activity level [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Es ist ubersichtlicher und wird international auch haufig praktiziert, den durchschnittlichen taglichen Energiebedarf fur korperliche Aktivitaten anteilig am Grundumsatz darzustellen. Dieser Wert fur den Leistungsumsatz heist dann »physical activity level« (PAL).

Phase field models of active matter [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
We present an overview of phase field modeling of active matter systems as a tool for capturing various aspects of complex and active interfaces. We first describe how interfaces between different phases are characterized in phase field models and provide simple fundamental governing equations that describe their evolution.

Activity-induced phase separation and self-assembly in mixtures of active and passive particles [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters 114, 018301 (2015), 2014
We investigate the phase behavior and kinetics of a monodisperse mixture of active (\textit{i.e.}, self-propelled) and passive isometric Brownian particles through Brownian dynamics simulations and theory. As in a purely active system, motility of the active component triggers phase separation into a dense and a dilute phase; in the dense phase we ...
