Altering the muscle stiffness influenced the overall active human body model (AHBM) behavior during frontal crashes, as well as the pre- dicted injury outcome. 2. Altering the muscle material stiffness via the
There are many examples in the human body alone. The tailbone is the remnant of an ancestor's tail, and the ability to wiggle your ears is leftover from an earlier primate that was able to move their ears around to pinpoint sounds. Plants have vestigial traits as well. Many plants that...
Active human body models (AHBM) consider musculoskeletal movement and joint stiffness via active muscle truss elements in the finite element (FE) codes in dynamic application. In the latest models, such as THUMS™ Version 5, nearly all human muscle groups are modeled in form of one-dimensional...
‘In order to survive and retain their sanity and equilibrium in impossibly unjust situations, people may have to resort to patterns of behaviour, and consequently may develop habits or traits, which are debilitating and unproductive in a more humane environment’ (Boxill 1992, p. 157). In the...
Understanding Economic Equilibrium As noted above, economic equilibrium occurs when there's a balance in economic forces. This means that when economic equilibrium exists, all economic variables remain the same from their equilibrium values in the absence of external influences. ...
A game should not be understood (as is done in standard game theory) as a mathematical representation of an individual choice at equilibrium. This requires investigating the players' capacity for coordination. Understanding the process of coordination allows us to understand strategic reasoning and ...
The level of liquid in the sugar water arm will slowly rise, as the solvent (water) moves through the Gore-tex, to make both sides of the arm more equal in a sugar-to-water ratio. But why does that happen? Simply put, because water wants to find equilibrium. And because the one ...
αreflects how much RUs distribute their effort shares on one resource (in this case, Resource 1 with a payoffX1) to derive their wellbeing. Whenαequals 0.5, the effort shares are symmetric: RUs distribute the same amount of time or energy on two resources. Asymmetry occurs whenαincreases...
Moreover, because the price action is close to the moving average, in most cases matching it, this makes the task of guessing where the market will head next nearly impossible.Most experienced traders avoid this type of market equilibrium at all costs, with probably only a few being able to...
The male WV is greater at birth, but reaches an equilibrium with female WV at about 8 months and then gradually lags behind the female WV until adolescence. During pubertal development WV peaks at about 12.9 years in girls and 14.3 years in boys; peak WV generally occurs at a slightly ...
