Are non-slip socks really 'non-slip'? An analysis of slip resistance [PDF]
BMC Geriatrics, 2009 Non-slip socks have been suggested as a means of preventing accidental falls due to slips. This study compared the relative slip resistance of commercially available non-slip socks with other foot conditions, namely bare feet, compression stockings and conventional socks, in order to determine any traction benefit.Phase one involved slip resistance ...

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2020 Aim: Falls commonly occur from trips and slips while walking. Recovery strategies from trips and backward falling slips have been extensively studied. However, until recently, forward falling slips (FFSs) have been considered less dangerous and have been

Optimizing successful balance recovery from unexpected trips and slips
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2018 Approximately one in three people over 65 years of age fall each year. The resulting physiological and psychological trauma can lead to physical deconditioning, social isolation and early mortality.

Power-Law Slip Profile of the Moving Contact Line in Two-Phase Immiscible Flows
, 2004 Large scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on two-phase immiscible flows show that associated with the moving contact line, there is a very large $1/x$ partial-slip region where $x$ denotes the distance from the contact line.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ROLLING AND SLIP RESISTANCE IN ROLLING BEARINGS
Nauka ta progres transportu, 2016 Purpose. About one of the causes of slip rolling is known from the second half of the 19th century, it was believed that the slip resistance appears at the place of contact due to different speeds on the arc of contact.

Dislocation constriction and cross-slip in Al and Ag: an ab initio study
, 2002 A novel model based on the Peierls framework of dislocations is developed. The new theory can deal with a dislocation spreading at more than one slip planes.

An Improved Optimal Slip Ratio Prediction considering Tyre Inflation Pressure Changes [PDF]
, 2015 The prediction of optimal slip ratio is crucial to vehicle control systems. Many studies have verified there is a definitive impact of tyre pressure change on the optimal slip ratio.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
