Comparing the symmetry of walking in transtibial amputees: biomechanical differences of prosthetic heel lifts
(2022)
Prosthetic devices provide an avenue to accommodate transtibial amputees and
mechanically restore some of their walking functionality. The loss of a lower limb results in
significant mobility changes for these individuals’ ...
Evaluating the combined effect of thermoplastic polyurethane material in Ice hockey goaltender helmets and cervical muscle strength in mitigating concussion risk during simulated horizontal head collisions
(2022)
Concussions, or mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), occur due to an impact on the head
and are the most common type of brain injury for goaltenders in the sport of ice hockey. The two
main techniques used to mitigate ...
The effects of sex, menstrual cycle phase, and hormonal contraceptives on inhibitory control
(2022)
Inhibitory control is a major aspect of executive functioning, and ovarian hormones (e.g.,
progesterone and estrogen) have been found to affect processes related to inhibitory control. This
was the first study to examine ...
Localization error bounds for 5G mm-wave systems under hardware impairments
(2022)
Localization and location aware systems are expected to be counted as one of the main services
of 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems. mmWave communication
systems are offering a large bandwidth from 30-300 ...
Amorphous lead oxide (a-PbO) for direct conversion X-ray imaging detectors
(2022)
Modern medical imaging revolutionized the way that medical conditions are diagnosed. It became
possible after significant advancements in science and technology related to the medical
visualization field. X-ray imaging ...
An adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller for vibration suppression of a flexible structure in aerial refueling
(2022)
Air-to-air refueling (AAR) has been commonly used in military jet applications. Recently,
civilian applications of AAR have been garnering increased attention due to the high cost of air
travel, which is largely dictated ...
Advanced separation and anaerobic digestion technologies for value-added bioproducts and biofuel from pulp and paper mill wastes
(2022)
In the first research project, the extraction of hemicellulose from the process water and synthetic
hydrolyzate using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was examined. Specifically, the effects of the main
experimental variables ...
Examining the relationship between balance confidence and the physical and psychosocial adaptation to transtibial amputation on physical activity participation and avoidance habits
(2022)
Transtibial amputation (TTA) is the removal of the lower leg at the tibia and often
results in pain, mental health issues, and reduced quality of life. Many of these symptoms are
created or exacerbated by a sedentary ...
Sustainability analysis of carbon dioxide emissions on combustion of biomass for electricity
(2022)
The transition towards renewable, low-carbon energy is a fundamental element of climate
change mitigation. Many countries around the world have set their decarbonization strategies to
reduce emissions. The European Union ...
Design of polarization reconfigurable beam-steerable and frequency tunable FPMS based SIW-slot antennas
(2022)
With the rapid evolution of modern and smart communication technologies such as 5th generation of
mobile network (5G), (internet of things) IoT, Autonomous Vehicles, Aviation Technology, etc., the
need for reconfigurable ...
