Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee injuries that negatively affect athletes’ future performance and return to play. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation of kinematics and kinetics of changing sa...

To balance the diagonal gait of a quadruped robot, a dynamic balance control method is presented to improve the stability of the quadruped robot by adjusting its foot position. We set up a trunk-based coordinate system and a hip-based local coordinat...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can occur in non-contact conditions (e.g., jump-landing) and are common among junior badminton players. The knee abduction angle has been widely identified as a biomechanical risk factor that likely contribut...

Wooded grasslands are agroforestry systems of high biological and cultural value, which are increasingly threatened by land-use abandonment in Mediterranean marginal areas. In the central-southern Apennines, little is known about their ecological dyn...

The management of patients with aortic disease that involves the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, and the descending aorta represent a surgical challenge. Open surgical repair remains the gold standard for aortic arch pathologies. However, this oper...

Background: This study investigated the biomechanical and physiological demands of the hiking position in Laser sailing, a posture requiring sailors to extend their upper bodies outside the boat to counter wind-induced heeling. This study utilized a...

Currently, studies investigating the carbon balance in forest ecosystems are particularly relevant due to the global increase in CO2 content in the atmosphere. Due to natural reforestation over the past 25–30 years, birch (Betula pendula Roth.)...

Attribution analyses on streamflow variation to changing climate and land surface characteristics are critical in studies of watershed hydrology. However, attribution results may differ greatly on different spatial and temporal scales, which has not...
