Whole body vibration training--improving balance control and muscle endurance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Exercise combined with whole body vibration (WBV) is becoming increasingly popular, although additional effects of WBV in comparison to conventional exercises are still discussed controversially in literature.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.TESCLA (tubular electromagnetic soft conformal linear actuator) combines liquid‐metal solenoids and compliant magnetic composites to achieve large‐stroke bidirectional actuation with continuous bending. Integrated inductance‐based self‐sensing enables proprioceptive position estimation without external sensors, providing a versatile platform for soft ...

Whole body vibrations during field operations in the vineyard
Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2013 Human exposure to mechanical vibration can be a significant risk factor for exposed workers and this also occurs in the agricultural sector, in particular with reference to the driver of the tractor during field operations.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A self‐assembled multilayer biobased PEF/GO nanofibrous membrane was developed by electrospinning for efficient PLA microplastics (MPs) filtration. The membrane combines superhydrophilicity, directional water transport, mechanical robustness, and a synergistic size‐exclusion interception and electrostatic repulsion MPs separation mechanism, enabling ...

Subjective response to whole-body vibration
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1981 Pioneer studies of subjective response to whole-body vibration were mainly directed toward construction of equal intensity contours, described by such subjective labels as “intolerable,” “alarming,” or “annoying.” In a series of more recent investigations, carried out at AFAMRL, psychophysical measurement and scaling techniques have been adapted for ...

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.
