(TMTTF )2AsF6 and (TMTTF )2SbF6 are both known to undergo a charge ordering phase transition, though their ground states are different. The ground state of the first is Spin-Peierls, and the second is an antiferromagnet. We study the effect of pressure on the ground states and the charge-ordering using C NMR spectroscopy. The experiments demonstrate that the the CO and SP order parameters are r...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the vertical component of the ground reaction force, plantar pressure, contact area of the feet and double-support time using static and dynamic (gait) baropodometry before and after bariatric surgery. METHODS Sixteen individuals with a body mass index of between 35 and 55 were evaluated before and after bariatric surgery. Thirteen patients (81....

It has previously been shown that a bipedal model consisting of a point mass supported by spring limbs can be tuned to simulate periodic human walking. In this study, we incorporated roller feet into the spring-mass model and evaluated the effect of roller radius, impact angle, and limb stiffness on spatiotemporal gait characteristics, ground reactions, and center-of-pressure excursions. We als...

b a c k ground: csf is a clear liquid that its mechanical properties are to a large extent similar to water properties. regarding the lack of a numerical index for diagnosis of diseases resulting from increased csf pressure such as hydrocephalus, evaluation of hydrodynamic conditions of csf in cerebral ventricular system is of great importance. methods: at first, the diagram of velocity in sylv...

Estimating active earth pressure accurately is very important when designing retaining wall. Based on the unified strength theory and plane strain assumption, an analytical solution has been developed to determine the active lateral earth pressure distribution on a retaining structure with the inclined cohesive backfill considering the effect of the intermediate principal stress. The solution d...
