Head stabilization is fundamental for balance during locomotion but can be impaired in elderly or diseased populations.Previous studies have identified several parameters of head stability with possible diagnostic value in a laboratory setting.Recently, the ecological validity of measures obtained in such controlled contexts has been called into qu
Water triggered injectable polylactic acid hydrogel based on zwitterionic sulfobetaine modification for incompressible bleeding and tissue anti-adhesion
Massive blood loss is the main cause of prehospital trauma-related death, the development of rapid and effective hemostatic materials is imminent.Injectable hydrogels have the advantages of covering irregular bleeding sites and quickly closing the wound.However, its inherent viscosity can easily precipitate tissue adhesion in vivo and other complic
Furnace MILD combustion versus its open counterpart in hot coflow
The open jet flame in hot co-flow (JHC) has been frequently utilized for fundamental investigations of Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion due to its controllable conditions and relatively easy measurement capabilities.However, practical MILD combustion must take place within a combustor that is enclosed.Therefore, it is neces
Rapid and Automated Damage Detection in Buildings Through ARMAX Analysis of Wind Induced Vibrations
After a seismic event, it is imperative that critical structural members that are damaged within a building are identified and analyzed as soon as possible to ensure proper remedial measures can be taken.Failure to detect damage or correctly analyze the severity of damage within the building could have catastrophic consequences.When a reinforced co
