Biomechanic and Energetic Effects of a Quasi-Passive Artificial Gastrocnemius on Transtibial Amputee Gait by Michael F. Eilenberg, Ken Endo, Hugh Herr

“…Data are analyzed to determine differences between the biarticular condition with the activation of the knee orthosis and the monoarticular condition with the orthosis behaving as a free-joint. As hypothesized, the biarticular system is shown to reduce both affected-side knee and hip moment impulse and positive mechanical work in both participants during the late stance knee flexion phase of walking, compared to the monoarticular condition. …”

Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation for the Bus-Corridor Problem in a Many-to-One Mass Transit System by Qinmu Xie, Shoufeng Ma, Ning Jia, Yang Gao

“…The results showed that heterogeneous commuters’ departure time distribution is broader and has a lower peak at equilibrium and different people behave in different pattern. When each commuter has a limited memory, some fluctuations exist in the evolutionary dynamics of the system, and hence an ideal equilibrium can hardly be reached. …”

On tenses as speech-act-level functions by Patrick Caudal

“…To substantiate the above hypothesis, the paper first focuses on diachronic and synchronic evidence suggesting that the NIMPF does not contribute aspectual meaning at the sentence semantics-level – showing notably that it behaves like a ‘viewpoint neutral’ tense with respect to the verb it marks. …”

Scale Effect on the Anisotropy of Acoustic Emission in Coal by Honghua Song, Yixin Zhao, Yaodong Jiang, Jiehao Wang

“…The cumulative AE counts and energy dissipation increase with the specimen size, while the energy dissipation per AE count behaves in the opposite way. This may result from the increasing amount of both preexisting discontinuities and cracks (volume/number) needed for specimen failure and the lower energy dissipation AE counts generated by them. …”

Ecofriendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles using metallic solution-based goji berry extract for their antibacterial properties by Abdul Rauf Jamali, Waseem Khan, Salahuddin Khan, Ahmed Ahmed Ibrahim, Kamran Alam

“…Positively, the reducing agents that are already present in the Goji Berry extract behave as capping and stabilizing agents, so there is no need to add additional constituents from outside. …”

Perturbations of Dipole Decay Dynamics Induced by Plasmonic Nano-antennas – A Study within the Discrete Dipole Approximation by Stefania D'Agostino, Fabio Della Sala, Lucio Claudio Andreani

“…Due to the excitation of localized surface plasmons, metallic nano-particles behave like optical antennas and are able to convert localized fields into free- propagating optical radiation, and vice versa. …”

Compliant actuation based on dielectric elastomers for a force-feedback device: modeling and experimental evaluation by R. Vertechy, M. Bergamasco, G. Berselli, V. Parenti Castelli, G. Vassura

“…In this context, the present paper addresses the development of a force feedback controller for an agonist-antagonist linear actuator composed of a couple of conically-shaped DE films and a compliant mechanism behaving as a negative-rate bias spring. The actuator is firstly modeled accounting for the visco-hyperelastic nature of the DE material. …”

Transplantation of fecal microbiota from low to high residual feed intake chickens: Impacts on RFI, microbial community and metabolites profiles by Chunlin Xie, Qiying Liang, Jiaheng Cheng, Yushan Yuan, Lu Xie, Jian Ji

“…In this study, two distinct lines of Huiyang bearded chickens, exhibiting significant differences in residual feed intake (RFI), were developed after 15 generations of selective breeding. …”

Rock Mechanical Property Influenced by Inhomogeneity by Yunliang Tan, Dongmei Huang, Ze Zhang

“…The investigations showed that the self-similarity of rock microstructure markedly changes with the scanned microscale. Different rocks behave in different fractal dimension variation patterns with the scanned magnification, so it is conditional to adopt fractal dimension to describe rock material. …”

Colonic Mucosal Epigenome and Microbiome Development in Children and Adolescents by R. Alan Harris, Rajesh Shah, Emily B. Hollister, Rune Rose Tronstad, Nils Hovdenak, Reka Szigeti, James Versalovic, Richard Kellermayer

“…Colonic mucosal samples from 22 control children between 3.5 and 17.5 years of age were studied by Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChips and, in 10 cases, by 454 pyrosequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. …”

Atezolizumab neutralizing assay development: a novel way of evaluating assay cutpoint after sample pretreatment by Rachel Melendez, Jane Ruppel, Cecilia Leddy, Jenny Yang, Ann Brady, Yenny Webb-Vargas, Jochen Brumm, Lynn Kamen, Yuan Song

“…In clinical trials, a subset of patients developed anti-atezolizumab antibodies, necessitating the development of a neutralizing antibody (NAb) assay. A bead-based sample pretreatment method was developed to reduce high levels of therapeutic in patient serum samples. …”

Prediction of Henry's Law Constants on the Basis of the Corresponding States Theorem by V.V. Kutarov, B.M. Kats

“…The corresponding four-parameter theorem was used to analyze the experimental data for the adsorption of 16 organic and non-organic substances onto active carbon of the Kureha beads type. Employing this theorem to account for the form and change in position of the minimum in the potential curve, it was shown that the Corresponding States Theorem could be applied for the prediction of the Henry coefficient for molecules of arbitrary configuration under conditions requiring the introduction of quantum amendments. …”

Removal of As Using Chitosan–Montmorillonite Composite: Sorptive Equilibrium and Kinetics by Ansar Anjum, Chand K. Seth, Monika Datta

“…In this study, the sorptive removal of As 3+ with promising sorption efficiency up to a very low concentration has been investigated using chitosan–montmorillonite (MMT) composites (in the form of powder and beads). In addition, the recovery of the composite from the sorbent is proposed as well. …”
