The wave-induced added mass of walking droplets
It has recently been demonstrated that droplets walking on a vibrating fluid bath exhibit several features previously thought to be peculiar to the microscopic realm. The walker, consisting of a droplet plus its guiding wavefield, is a spatially extended object. We here examine the dependence of the walker mass and momentum on its velocity. Doing so indicates that, when the walker’s time scale ...
متن کاملSalient Features of AOGOS
This paper presents a PC-based Windows application software package for production of optimised maintenance schedules, performing economic dispatch, predicting actual dates for long-term maintenance scheduling and querying the current status of a generating unit from data files. A new heuristic algorithm based on the tabu search has been proposed as a solution. A software package, Automated Opt...
متن کاملMechanics and energetics of load carriage during human walking.
Although humans clearly expend more energy to walk with an extra load, it is unclear what biomechanical mechanisms contribute to that increase. One possible contribution is the mechanical work performed on the body center of mass (COM), which simple models predict should increase linearly with added mass. The work should be performed primarily by the lower extremity joints, although in unknown ...
متن کاملThe role of plantigrady and heel-strike in the mechanics and energetics of human walking with implications for the evolution of the human foot.
Human bipedal locomotion is characterized by a habitual heel-strike (HS) plantigrade gait, yet the significance of walking foot-posture is not well understood. To date, researchers have not fully investigated the costs of non-heel-strike (NHS) walking. Therefore, we examined walking speed, walk-to-run transition speed, estimated locomotor costs (lower limb muscle volume activated during walking...
متن کاملLocating Salient Object Features
We present a method for locating salient object features. Salient features are those which have a low probability of being mis-classified with any other feature, and are therefore more easily found in a similar image containing an example of the object. The local image structure can be described by vectors extracted using a standard ‘feature extractor’ at a range of scales. We train statistical...
