We present new geologic maps of the Lake Champlain region of west-central Vermont and east-central New York State. This region contains a shallow-crustal section of an Ordovician foreland basin and a far-traveled thrust system that transported the Upper Cambrian–Lower Ordovician platform-sequence, allochthonous risefacies pelites and arenites and Middle Ordovician basinal shales and flysch. Ear...

We aimed to investigate the mu rhythm in the sensorimotor area during tongue thrust observation and to obtain an answer to the question as to how subtle non-verbal orofacial movement observation activates the sensorimotor area. Ten healthy volunteers performed finger tap execution, tongue thrust execution, and tongue thrust observation. The electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded from 128 elect...

A thrust stand calibration technique for use in testing repetitively pulsed electric thrusters for in-space propulsion has been developed and tested using a modified hanging pendulum thrust stand. In the implementation of this technique, current pulses are applied to a solenoid to produce a pulsed magnetic field that acts against a permanent magnet mounted to the thrust stand pendulum arm. The ...

Effects of a six-week hip thrust vs. front squat resistance training program on performance in adolescent males: A randomized controlled trial. J Strength Cond Res 31(4): 999-1008, 2017-The barbell hip thrust may be an effective exercise for increasing horizontal force production and may thereb...

In order to evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of a pendulum-type thrust measurement system, a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) and a laser optical displacement sensor have been used simultaneously to determine the displacement resulting from an applied thrust. The LVDT sensor uses an analog interface, whereas the laser sensor uses a digital interface to communicate the displa...

[1] Even though the rheology of thrust wedges is mostly frictional, a basal ductile decollement is often involved. By comparison with purely frictional wedges, such brittleductile wedges generally display anomalous structures such as backward vergence, widely spaced thrust units, and nonfrontward sequences of thrust development. Laboratory experiments are used here to study the deformation of b...

, . actiristics and constraint alritudes. Conditions which favor significant improvdent are: large thrust reserve at the constraint altitude, reasonably high lift-to-drag ratio, low constraint altitude, and low wing loading. The trajectory optimization algorithm, which is described in some detail, is especially efficient and may be useful in other applications. Wing area Time, (scaled) Thrust, ...

To solve the complex thrust allocation problems of dynamic positioning ship with azimuth thrusters, the quadratic programming thrust allocation and management system was built. The power optimal thrust allocation was formulated as a quadratic programming problem by the linear treatments of inequality constraints and the optimal solution could be found in a finite amount of time. And some influe...

Propeller induced structural vibration through the thrust bearing is an important source for low frequency shipboard noise and underwater sound radiation from a submarine hull. Such vibration is investigated using a scaled experimental model. This research concentrates on the experimental characterization of propeller force, hydrodynamic force of the thrust bearing and vibration transmission th...

The n-body problem for low-thrust vehicles with optimal thrust control is formulated for the case of constant thrust with coast. A successive two-body approximation to the n-body problem is also developed under the assumption of tangential thrust during the planetocentric leg. This approximation involves one arbitrary parameter the planetocentric radius at the patch point whose best value can b...
