Abstract:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of cartilage and bone tissue and the most common form of arthritis, accounting for US$ 10.5 billion in hospital charges in 2006. Obesity (OB) has been linked to increased risk of developing knee OA due to increased knee joint loads and varus-valgus misalignment. Walking is recommended as a weight-loss activity but it may increase risk of knee OA as OB gait increases knee loads. Cycling has been proposed as an alternative weight-loss measure, however, lack of studies comparing normal weight (NW) and OB subjects in cycling and gait hinder identificat

Abstract:
This study aims to aid many issues related to fatigue, namely biaxial loading, the definition of the finite geometry correction factor of the stress intensity factor and the understanding of the energy dissipation per fatigue crack growth. In our work, we are using the geometry correction factor definition that uses the ratio of external work introduced to the material. Using different biaxiality ratios varies the external work done, thus makes it possible for us to observe how the geometry correction factor handles this variation. The trend of strain energy release rate per crack growth is a

InGaN/GaN based quantum well structures are strained and due to the lack of a centre of symmetry large internal fields are present which skew the potential of the quantum wells, this has a large effect on the properties of these structures. InGaN/GaN based quantum well structures are studied using a theoretical method based on the Pade model and comparison made with experimental results. The importance of using a correct description for the depletion widths of p-i-n structures for use in interpreting measurements of the internal field is established in this work.

During transport of hand-held objects, the grip force is modulated in parallel with the load force changes. The control scheme underlying this grip-load force coupling involves subtle interplay between feedforward and feedback mechanisms. Based on internal models of the motor system and object properties, the load force can be predicted and the GF motor command can be specified in a feedforward manner. Moreover, during the course of arm movement, the CNS is informed by sensory feedback about mechanical events such as the lift-off of the object, slippage or excessive grip force. This informatio

The combustion process yields a high pressure burst and the ejection of a high-speed exhaust jet.

The current study explores the interactions of cognitive load and stereotypes on emotions felt toward stereotyped groups and decisions of punitiveness for a crime.

The current study tested the hypothesis that individuals under high cognitive load will be more likely to rely on stereotypical information and associated emotions when making decisions on punishment for a crime.

Abstract:
Une grande majorité (85%) des ponts français a une portée inférieure à 50 m. Pour ce type d’ouvrage d’art, la charge de trafic peut être déterminante pour la conception et le recalcul. Or, en Europe, le fret routier a augmenté de 36.2% entre 1995 et 2010, et la croissance annuelle du volume transporté par la route a été évaluée à 1.7% entre 2005 et 2030. Il est donc essentiel de s’assurer que les infrastructures européennes sont en mesure de répondre à cette demande croissante en capacité structurelle des ouvrages. Pour les ouvrages neufs, les modèles de trafic dans les normes ou les législati

Abstract:
In vivo studies of mechanical loading on bone have suggested that load magnitude is one of the parameters that play a vital role in bone adaptation. This study examined how longitudinal growth of immature rat metatarsals is affected by different load magnitudes. The main hypotheses were that the longitudinal growth of immature bone would decrease with increased compressive load magnitude, and that the longitudinal growth would be more decelerated the higher the load mag- nitude. The three middle metatarsal bones in the back paws of 19-20 days old Sprague-Dawley rat fetuses were extracted. Meta

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Carton Clamp Test Methodologies and the Effects on Load Containment and Retention Tyler Don Blumer A carton clamp is an alternative device for moving packages and material. Instead of using iron tines like that of a conventional forklift, a carton clamp uses two large aluminum platens to slightly compress and secure the load for handling. This is advantageous as it allows operators to move layers of a unitized load individually, and eliminates the need for a pallet when handling full unitized loads. When using a carton clamp attachment, it is often difficult for operators to accuratel

Abstract:
We investigated the dynamics of spatial attention in an active viewing task, namely reading, and the effects of the load of target words on these dynamics. We showed that, over the course of a fixation, attention was modulated by the load of the fixated word and the upcoming word. The load of words was manipulated by varying word frequency and the orthographic familiarity of the first trigram in words. In a variation of the dynamic-orienting paradigm (Fischer, 1999), participants read sentences or strings of words for the primary task and discriminated gaze-contingent probes - occurring with v
