Purpose: To identify the effect of additional elastic force on the kinetic and kinematic characteristics, as well as the magnitude of leg stiffness, during the performance of accentuated countermovement jumps (CMJs). Methods: Fifteen... more
Daylight was the main source of lighting in vernacular architecture, and building design accordingly responded to its strategic limitations. Needs for new types of buildings in conjunction with the great development of electric lamp led... more
Inaugural lecture of Yvonne, presented on 13 November 2016
The symbol of light has commonly represented human desires for goodness, order, truth, perpetual abundance, and the transcendence of earthly limits. Modern practices of artificial light cultivation remain associated with a symbolic... more
Introduction Melatonin and light treatment are recommended for hastening adaptation to time zone change. We evaluated an afternoon regimen of 3 mg sustained release (SR) melatonin with and without next morning green light treatment for... more
Conventionally, patellar tendon-bearing (PTB) sockets, which need high dexterity of prosthetist, are widely used. Lack of chartered and experienced prosthetist has often led to painful experience of wearing prosthesis and this will in... more
“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.” ― Leonardo da Vinci Without light, there would be no life on Earth. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR)... more
Examiner's comments (abridged): Professor Louise Westling, University of Oregon (author of The Green Breast of the New World, and Sacred Groves and Ravaged Gardens): “Berry’s “Under the Dominion of Light: An Ecocritical Mythography”... more
In this study, the kinetics of adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution onto palm shell-based activated carbon (PSAC) were investigated by employing ion selective electrode (ISE) for real-time Pb(II) and pH monitoring. Usage of ISE was... more
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cardiac disease which leads to the deterioration in cardiac performance. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach can be used to enhance our understanding of the disease, by providing us with... more

To identify the effect of additional elastic force on the kinetic and kinematic characteristics, as well as the magnitude of leg stiffness, during the performance of accentuated countermovement jumps (CMJs). Fifteen trained male subjects... more
Background: Good suspension lessens the pistoning (vertical displacement) of the residual limb inside the prosthetic socket. Several methods are used for measuring the pistoning. Study Design: Clinical trial. Objectives: To introduce and... more
The spread of light witnessed in the NASA image of the planet at night reveals the brilliance of human technological innovation, the extent of global urban colonization, and the associated threat of ecological crisis. This article uses... more
Proposal for City of LAS VEGAS Nevada, USA PROJECT OBJECTIVES The objective is to valorize the City of Las Vegas with an innovative 2 kilometers large Sign seen from 20 miles employing equipment and materials suitable for... more
The μ rhythm is an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal located at the central region of the brain that is frequently used for studies concerning motor activity. Quite often, the EEG data are contaminated with artifacts and the application... more
For patient's receiving mechanical circulatory support, malfunction of the left ventricular assist device (LVADs) as well as mal-positioning of the cannula imposes serious threats to their life. It is therefore important to characterize... more

OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to compare the effects of a newly designed magnetic suspension system with that of two existing suspension methods on pistoning inside the prosthetic socket and to compare satisfaction and... more

We set an experimental session investigating the influence of different light sources and background noise on the perceived contrast, using self-luminous images of a target on a monitor in a semi-anechoic room. Behind a dark panel, on... more
In a paper which challenges social cliches and stereotypes, Tim Edensor and Steve Millington examine the often-denigrated phenomenon of residential Christmas lights - and argue for their positive role in the creation of local identities... more
