Wearable robotic devices can restore and enhance mobility.There is growing interest in designing devices that reduce the metabolic cost of walking; however, designers lack guidelines for which joints to assist and when to provide the assistance.To help address this problem, we used musculoskeletal simulation to predict how hypothetical devices affe
Socio-ecological systems are complex, dynamic structures driven by cross-scale interactions between climate, disturbance and subsistence strategies.We synthetize paleoecological data to explore the emergence and evolution of anthropogenic landscapes in southwestern Europe and northern Africa.Specifically, we estimate trends in vegetation and fire,
Abstract Background Numerous groups, such as the tobacco industry, have deliberately altered and misrepresented knowable facts and empirical evidence to promote an agenda, often for monetary benefit, with consequences for environmental and public health.Previous research has explored cases individually, but none have conducted an in-depth compariso
Divine miracle healing in the ancient and modern worlds is extensively documented through historical and literary texts, votive offerings, inscriptions, and miracle stories.In this article I focus on the votive inscriptions at the temple complex of the healing god Asklepios at Epidauros, and the miracle stories at the Church of Panagia Megalochari
Abstract Geological hazards, especially landslides and mudslides, are frequent in Caoke County, Sichuan Province, China.In September 2022, the mechanical parameters of the soil were obtained through a basic investigation of the landslide characteristics of Ni changgou.Upon Demi Tasse Spoons that, the finite element-discrete element method was used
