Similar locomotor patterns across Quarter Horse disciplines inform lameness assessment

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lineage‐based selection is central to the Quarter Horse industry and is often justified by the assumption that morphology determines locomotor function. However, objective evidence linking static conformation to discipline‐specific locomotor behaviour under standardised conditions remains limited.

Toward an idiographic understanding of the role of sleep‐mood dynamics in adolescents' internalizing symptoms

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adolescence is marked by increased vulnerability to sleep disturbances and mood disorders. Understanding how day‐to‐day changes in sleep and mood are linked within the same individual is crucial for clarifying sleep's role in emerging internalizing disorders. However, the extent to which an adolescent's fluctuations in sleep predict

Repeated load triaxial testing of soils [PDF]

, 1974
Samples of an over-consolidated saturated silty clay, Keuper marl, and a partially saturated granular material, Breedon gravel, have been used in a triaxial test programme, with a view to characterising certain aspects of the material behaviour for use in a flexible pavement design procedure.

Additional lateral meniscus centralization reduces residual anterolateral rotatory instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and lateral meniscus repair

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to examine the effects of lateral meniscus (LM) centralization on anterolateral rotational stability in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and LM injuries. The hypothesis was that performing LM repair and centralization on knees with LM lesions would control anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI ...

Kinematic Features of Voluntary and Involuntary Head Movements in Cervical Dystonia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cervical dystonia (CD) has a varied motor presentation, combining abnormal postures with complex involuntary head movements. Classification of these motor patterns remains imprecise, relying on descriptive terminology without robust definitions. Objectives To provide a kinematically‐grounded description of the motor phenomenology of

Fault Detection of Electric Motors via Symmetrized Dot Pattern‐Based Features

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel symmetrized dot pattern (SDP) approach using designed SDP‐based features, extracted from transformed vibration signals, for fault detection. These features describe the compactness, inclination, and shape of the “snowflake” diagram distributions.

Rutting Prediction in Asphalt Pavement Based on Viscoelastic Theory

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
Rutting is one of the most disturbing failures on the asphalt roads due to the interrupting it is caused to the drivers. Predicting of asphalt pavement rutting is essential tool leads to better asphalt mixture design.

Analytical Methodology to Determine Thermally Induced Soil Deformation From Laboratory Data

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Experimental laboratory investigations underlie most of the knowledge about the mechanics of soils under non‐isothermal conditions and their thermally induced deformation. Despite advances, the understanding of thermally induced deformation of soils remains inconsistent, hindering the development of a coherent framework that can advance ...

Effects of Ambient Moisture and Large‐Strain Dynamic Preloading on the Dynamic Properties of the EAC‐1A Regolith Simulant

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Balancing forage and fear: How people, environment and predators shape reindeer grazing in the Fennoscandian tundra

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.
