The EMG, NIRS, and RPE responses to two turn transition techniques in alpine skiing

JSAMS Plus, 2023
Summary: Objective: Two techniques facilitate the transition in an alpine ski turn, extension (EXT) and flexion (FLEX). The purpose of this study is to compare NIRS, EMG, and RPE responses between EXT and FLEX in expert level skiers.

Quenching Photo‐Induced Free Radicals Endows Superomniphobic Atmospheric Water Harvesting Hydrogels With UV Resistance for Durable Bifacial Photovoltaic Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hygroscopic hydrogel layer functionalized with fullerene C60 tackles heat and dust challenges in bifacial photovoltaics (PV) panels. It resists soiling and photo‐aging, maintains high transparency, absorbs water vapor from the air during the night, and delivers strong evaporative cooling power during daytime, significantly lowering PV panel ...

Snow Temperature Behind Sliding Skis as an Indicator for Frictional Meltwater

Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2021
For many years, a frictional meltwater film has been assumed to be the reason for the low friction between skis and snow, but experimental studies have been inconclusive.

Composition‐Aware Cross‐Sectional Integration for Spatial Transcriptomics

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Multi‐section spatial transcriptomics demands coherent cell‐type deconvolution, domain detection, and batch correction, yet existing pipelines treat these tasks separately. FUSION unifies them within a composition‐aware latent framework, modeling reads as cell‐type–specific topics and clustering in embedding space.

Getting (un)wasted: How planning failures generate consumer waste across resources: Time, money, goods, and energy

Consumer Psychology Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Past research suggests that people exhibit robust waste aversion. However, many consumers routinely feel that they waste not only goods but also time, money, energy, and emotion and would be hard‐pressed to imagine their lives otherwise. Why does consumer waste persist? In this paper, we first propose a definition for consumer waste.

Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.

Examining ski area padding for head and neck injury mitigation

Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2021
The injury mitigation capabilities of foam, ski-area padding was examined for headfirst impacts.A custom-made pendulum impactor system was constructed using an instrumented, partial 50th-percentile-male Hybrid-III anthropomorphic testing device (ATD). For each test, the ATD was raised 1.0m, released, and swung into a 20-cm diameter wooden pole.
