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 scaling factor of the ordinate value (SFO) of the load curve referenced in all ...
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...
‘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...
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 ...
Dynamics According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, dynamics is "a branch of mechanics that deals with forces and their relation primarily to the motion but sometimes also to the equilibrium of bodies."10 Forces can be linear, but also rotational, namely torque. 290 B. Belzile and D. St-...
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 ...
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...
it is caused by differences in the concentrations of ions inside and outside the cell. If the membrane were equally permeable to all ions, each type of ion would diffuse across the membrane and the system would reach equilibrium. Because ions cannot simply cross the membrane at will, there ...
Equilibrium ‘reversible binding’ of a chemical onto the solid phase within the porous media may be represented by the equation S=−ρsKd∂c∂t, where ρs is the density of the solid phase and Kd is the ‘partitioning coefficient’ (Rowe et al., 2004). We note that the ...
Dental caries, a highly prevalent oral disease, impacts a significant portion of the global population. Conventional approaches that indiscriminately eradicate microbes disrupt the natural equilibrium of the oral microbiota. In contrast, biointervention strategies aim to restore this balance by introducing ...
