Many people experience vibration effects on whole-body throughout their lives frequently. Vibrating energy absorbed is exposed all-body caused with vibration hazard in the vertically on body and biodynamic responses from body in speed 2.37 to 5.14 m/s could captivate with car seat on user body, so the vibration energy transferred to a seated people body. In this paper, the human body is modeled...

Biodynamic feedthrough (BDFT) occurs when vehicle vibrations and accelerations feed through the pilot’s body and cause involuntary motion of limbs, resulting in involuntary control inputs. BDFT can severely reduce ride comfort, control accuracy and, above all, safety during the operation of rotorcraft. Furthermore, BDFT can cause and sustain Rotorcraft-Pilot Couplings (RPCs). Despite many studi...

This study reviews certain physiological digestive parameters in the literature that could be used to predict tissue residues in aquatic oligochaetes using the biodynamic model. Predictions were evaluated with independently measured Cd bioaccumulation data in sediment bioassays and field oligochaetes. The parameter review focused on three species commonly used in ecotoxicity testing and bioaccu...

Vertebral compression represents a significant percentage of the morbidity associated with upward ejection. Vertebral and intervertebral structure reacts to and is sometimes irreversibly altered by ejection acceleration. Design and material properties of the normal vertebral column are sufficiently constant that when structural characteristics are defined and acceleration profiles known, predic...

Human Monitoring and Authentication using Biodynamic Indicators and Behavioural Analysis (HUMABIO) (2007) is an EU Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) where new types of biometrics are combined with state-of-the-art sensorial technologies in order to enhance security in a wide spectrum of applications. The project aims to develop a modular, robust, multimodal biometrics security authenti...

The study's aim was to investigate a central tenet of biodynamic philosophy as applied to wine tasting, namely that wines taste different in systematic ways on days determined by the lunar cycle. Nineteen New Zealand wine professionals tasted blind 12 Pinot noir wines at times determined within the biodynamic calendar for wine drinkers as being favourable (Fruit day) and unfavourable (Root day)...
