Reducing trailing limb collisions in older adults through targeted leading limb placement after obstacle crossing: effect of closer foot placement by Tomoki Hakamata, Tomoki Hakamata, Takahiro Higuchi

“…Participants were allocated to one of two groups: a closer placement group, instructed to place the leading limb on a square target positioned on their walking path after crossing an obstacle, and a control group, instructed to cross the obstacle naturally. The target in the closer group was set at 0.5 times the leading limb's foot placement distance, as determined in a pre-test for each participant. …”

Numerical characterization of hemodynamics conditions near aortic valve after implantation of left ventricular assist device by Annalisa Quaini, Sunčica Čanić, David Paniagua

“…The use of LVADs has been associated with thrombus formation next to the aortic valve and close to the anastomosis region,especially in patients in which the native cardiac function isnegligible and the aortic valve remains closed.Stagnation points and recirculation zones have been implicated as the main fluid dynamics factors contributing to thrombus formation.The purpose of the present study was to develop and use computer simulations based on afluid-structure interaction (FSI) solver to study flow conditions corresponding to different strategies inLVAD ascending aortic anastomosis providing a scenario with the lowest likelihood of thrombus formation.A novel FSI algorithm was developed to dealwith the presence of multiple structures corresponding to different elastic properties ofthe native aorta and of the LVAD cannula.A sensitivity analysis of different variables was performed to assess their impact of flow conditionspotentially leading to thrombus formation.It was found that the location of the anastomosis closest to the aortic valve(within 4 cm away from the valve)and at the angle of 30$^\circ$ minimizes the likelihood of thrombus formation.Furthermore, it was shownthat the rigidity of the dacron anastomosis cannula plays almost no role in generating pathologicalconditions downstream from the anastomosis.Additionally, the flow analysis presented in this manuscriptindicates that compliance of the cardiovascular tissue acts as a natural inhibitor of pathological flow conditions conducive to thrombus formationand should not be neglected in computer simulations.…”

Can the industrial transformation and upgrading demonstration zones policy improve urban green technology innovation? An empirical test based on old industrial cities and resource-... by Bingnan Guo, Junjie Hu, Xinyan Guo

“…IntroductionWith industrial transformation and upgrading being essential to attaining sustainable growth, the pursuit of green development has grown in importance on a global scale.MethodsThis study employs a sample dataset from 2011 to 2021, utilizing the national Industrial Transformation and Upgrading Zones (ITUZ) policy interventions of 2017 and 2019 as a quasi-natural experiment. Employing a difference-in-differences approach, this paper investigates the impact and underlying mechanisms of these policies on green technology innovation, as well as their heterogeneity across different urban contexts.ResultsThe results indicate that the ITUZ policy substantially improves green technology innovation in the designated cities, a conclusion that persists across multiple robustness assessments. …”
