Slip-Resistance Performance of Basketball Shoes Tread Patterns on Common Courts

open access: yesApplied Mechanics
Basketball requires intense movements like jumping and sudden changes in direction, increasing the risk of slips and falls due to poor shoe–court traction. Therefore, a significant demand is for good traction performance in basketball shoes, particularly

Superfluidity versus Bloch oscillations in confined atomic gases

open access: yes, 2001
We study the superfluid properties of (quasi) one-dimensional bosonic atom gases/liquids in traps with finite geometries in the presence of strong quantum fluctuations.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

The Influence of Fatigue, Recovery, and Environmental Factors on the Body Stability of Construction Workers

open access: yesSensors
In the construction industry, falls, slips, and trips (FST) account for 42.3% of all accidents. The primary cause of FST incidents is directly related to the deterioration of workers’ body stability.

Preventing slips and falls through leisure-time physical activity: findings from a study of limited-service restaurants. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Physical activity has been shown to be beneficial at improving health in some medical conditions and in preventing injury. Epidemiologic studies suggest that physical activity is one factor associated with a decreased risk for slips and falls in the ...

Decay of superfluid currents in a moving system of strongly interacting bosons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We analyze the stability and decay of supercurrents of strongly interacting bosons on optical lattices. At the mean-field level, the system undergoes an irreversible dynamic phase transition, whereby the current decays beyond a critical phase gradient ...

Experimental Evaluation of 100Cr6 Steel Microindented Surfaces Under Lubricated Nonconformal Point Contacts

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.

A Real-Time Cycle Slip Detection and Repair Method Based on Ionospheric Delay Prediction for Undifferenced Triple-Frequency BDS Signals

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
The detection and repair of cycle slips are key steps in high-accuracy GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) data processing using carrier phase observations.

Stimulated quantum phase slips from weak electromagnetic radiations in superconducting nanowires

open access: yes, 2015
We study the rate of quantum phase slips in an ultranarrow superconducting nanowire exposed to weak electromagnetic radiations. The superconductor is in the dirty limit close to the superconducting-insulating transition, where fluxoids move in strong ...

Thermal conductance as a probe of the non-local order parameter for a topological superconductor with gauge fluctuations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate the effect of quantum phase slips on a helical quantum wire coupled to a superconductor by proximity. The effective low-energy description of the wire is that of a Majorana chain minimally coupled to a dynamical $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge field.
