Increase trajectories of tendon micro vibration intensity during ankle plantar flexion: A longitudinal data analysis using latent curve models. by Tatsuhiko Matsumoto, Yutaka Kano

“…We used latent curve models (LCM) to identify this structure. By applying various LCMs to explore an optimal model, we found that the quadratic LCM received the best fit for females, while the piecewise linear LCM with a breakpoint at 50% exerted muscle strength received the best fit for males. …”

Anharmonic effects control interaction of carbyne confined in carbon nanotubes shaping their vibrational properties by Emil Parth, Andrea Corradini, Weili Cui, Davide Romanin, Christin Schuster, Clara Freytag, Lei Shi, Kazuhiro Yanagi, Matteo Calandra, Thomas Pichler

“…The resonant Raman fingerprint of confined carbyne comes concomitant with several new features which can neither be assigned to the hosting tube, nor to the linear carbon chain. This identifies the tube-chain system as a true hybrid structure in which the spectrum is usually driven by modifications in the electronic excitations via charge transfer. …”
