Vibroseis trucks are in danger of rollover during the steering process, which severely threatens safety drivers and equipment. Therefore, it is important to examine approaches increase anti-rollover ability vibroseis trucks. According structural characteristics working field truck, an analysis influence different factors on its stability was carried out. Then, a warning index system were establ...

The development of antimicrobial coatings for footwear components is of great interest both from industry and consumer's point of view. In this work, antimicrobial leather materials were developed taking advantage of chitosan intrinsic antimicrobial activity and film forming capacity. Considering the specificities of the leather tanning industry, different coating technologies, namely drum, cal...

In this paper we present an adaptive controller implementation based on the multiple models, switching, and tuning (MMST) paradigm [13, 14, 15] for preventing un–tripped rollover in automotive vehicles. Our approach relies on differential-braking to keep the value of the Load Transfer Ratio (LT R) below a threshold. We first employ multiple models to infer the unknown center of gravity height a...

In clothing and footwear business sector, consumer needs and expectations of specific target groups such as elderly, obese, disabled, or diabetic persons are arising as challenging opportunities for European companies that are asked to supply small series of innovative and fashionable goods of high quality, affordable price and eco-compatible. This paper aims at propose a three level (strategic...

Introduction Minimalist shoes have been touted as a panacea for preventing running-related injuries, although evidence is inconclusive (Ryan et al., 2013). Maximalist shoes, with greater than normal midsole thickness have been introduced in response, but little work has investigated their success in preventing injuries. For both maximal and minimal footwear, it is likely that the wholesale appr...

This letter constitutes the interim report of the Transportation Research Board Committee for the Study of a Motor Vehicle Rollover Rating System. This committee was convened in response to a request from the Congress asking the U.S. Department of Transportation to fund a study by the National Academy of Sciences on motor vehicle rollover. The main objectives of this report are (1) to present t...

We study the renormalized energy-momentum tensor (EMT) of cosmological scalar fluctuations during the slow-rollover regime for chaotic inflation with a quadratic potential and find that it is characterized by a negative energy density which grows during slow-rollover. We also approach the back-reaction problem as a second-order calculation in perturbation theory finding no evidence that the bac...

Footwear is likely to be regarded as an important consideration in the clinical management of many foot disorders, and the development of key criteria for the assessment of footwear by experts from the footwear industry together with expert podiatrists should enable the construction of a widely applicable tool in this evaluation. The study reported in this paper is drawn from work conducted in ...

Background Children spend around 30 hours a week in their school shoes that’s in excess of 15,000 hours during their school years. Correctly fitted shoes help reduce the risk of injury, improve comfort and assist in gross motor development and participation. Recent research indicates that foot deformities in children who wear incorrectly fitting footwear are increased, following the closure of ...
