Technique and knee loads in sidestep cutting 2 Abstract Purpose: To identify the effect of modifying sidestep cutting technique on knee loads and predict what impact such change would have on the risk of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury. Methods: A force platform and motion analysis system were used to r...

We consider the problem of pricing European forward starting options in the presence of stochastic volatility. By performing a change of measure using the asset price at the time of strike determination as a numeraire, we derive a closed-form solution based on Heston’s model of stochastic volatility.

We would like to thank the authors of the commentary [1] for pointing out the error in the analysis of the early winter months (Oct–Dec) in our article. We find that this is indeed correct, and wish to apologize for such an error in our analysis. After correcting the error we have been able to reproduce Figure 1 from the commentary. We wish to point out that we have checked that this issue has ...

The interpretation of magnetic field data at low magnetic latitudes is difficult because the vector nature of the magnetic field increases the complexity of anomalies from magnetic rocks. The most obvious approach to this problem is to reduce the data to the magnetic pole, where the presumably vertical magnetization vector will simplify observed anomalies. However, RTP requires special treatmen...

Heel strike detection is an important cue for human gait recognition and detection in visual surveillance since the heel strike position can be used to derive the gait periodicity, stride and step length. We propose a novel method for heel strike detection using a gait trajectory model, which is robust to occlusion, camera view, and low resolution. When a person walks, the movement of the head ...

[1] The tectonic evolution of Mars has been driven primarily by the interaction of Tharsisinduced loading stresses with a uniform contractional stress field, leading to global assemblages of graben and wrinkle ridges. Until recently, strike-slip faults have appeared to be largely absent from the tectonic record. We here present evidence for a new set of Noachian to Early Hesperian strike-slip f...

This study aimed to identify the similarities and differences among half-marathon runners in relation to their performance level. Forty-eight male runners were classified into 4 groups according to their performance level in a half-marathon (min): Group 1 (n = 11, < 70 min), Group 2 (n = 13, < 80 min), Group 3 (n = 13, < 90 min), Group 4 (n = 11, < 105 min). In two separate sessions, training-r...

Mantis shrimp strike with extreme impact forces that are deadly to prey. They also strike conspecifics during territorial contests, yet theoretical and empirical findings in aggressive behaviour research suggest competitors should resolve conflicts using signals before escalating to dangerous combat. We tested how Neogonodactylus bredini uses two ritualized behaviours to resolve size-matched co...

The records of multiple Love and Rayleigh waves of the Alaska earthquake of 1964 were recovered from the 30-100 seismograph records at the WWSSN stations. The seismograms were equalized to a propagation distance of 9rr/2 (equivalent to G5 and R5 at • -r/2). These seismograms were compared with synthetic seismograms for radiation pattern and amplitude to estimate various source parameters. The s...
