The aims of this study were to identify static and dynamic balance with the addition of weighted vests for the rehabilitation of paraplegic patients. The study was conducted using weighted vest exercises with applied optimal weight ratios. Ten paraplegic patients who use custom orthosis were enrolled for experiments including static standing and dynamic gait with a weighted vest. We set weight ...

Vibrotactile displays have been reported effective in enhancing awareness of flight 8 attitude for pilots and releasing other heavily loaded sensory channels. Although some work have 9 been done on vibrotactile coding of flight altitude, there is lack of a systematic investigation into 10 coding methods with combination of multiple coding parameters. In this paper, seven coding 11 methods with ...

Social psychologists have developed influential theoretical models to understand intergroup conflicts, radicalism, and collective action. November 2018 saw the emergence of a new powerful movement in France named Yellow Vests. Born on social media, has sustained an unprecedented period intense protests violent clashes with police, challenging French government. As such, this offers ideal contex...

Vibrotactile (vibratory tactile) displays have been reported as effective in enhancing awareness of flight attitude for pilots and releasing other heavily loaded sensory channels. Although some work has been done on vibrotactile coding of flight attitude, there is lack of a systematic investigation into coding methods with combination of multiple coding parameters. In this paper, seven coding m...

This paper evaluates and compares several stream ciphers that use 256-bit keys: counter-mode AES, CryptMT, DICING, Dragon, Fubuki, HC-256, Phelix, Py, Py6, Salsa20, SOSEMANUK, VEST, and YAMB.

Body posture and activity are important indices for assessing health and quality of life, especially for elderly people. Therefore, an easily wearable device or instrumented garment would be valuable for monitoring elderly people's postures and activities to facilitate healthy aging. In particular, such devices should be accepted by elderly people so that they are willing to wear it all the tim...

Considering the importance of the vertical jump in several sports, an optimal warm-up protocol may help athletes perform at their maximum level. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potentiating effects of different levels of external resistance (weighted vest) during box jumps on vertical jump performance. Twenty resistance trained men (age 22.45 +/- 1.73 years, height 176.83 +/- 6...

Considering the high level of heat and flame exposure firefighters encounter while performing their work activities, personal protective equipment (PPE) is utmost importance to enhance safety. Phase change materials (PCMs) are known as advanced able absorb amounts thermal energy, with potential increase performance clothing. In this work, a PCM-vest was developed for first time, its evaluated. ...
