INFERRING MICROBIAL CO-OCCURRENCE NETWORKS FROM AMPLICON DATA: A SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION


Numerical simulation of fatigue damage in offshore wind turbines under wind-ice coupling effects in brash ice regions

Fatigue failure is a critical concern for offshore wind turbines (OWTs).In cold-region seas, the presence of sea ice necesitates the consideration of ice loads in the design of OWTs.This study focuses on the NREL 5MW monopile wind turbine and proposes a numerical analysis framework for asesing fatigue damage under wind-ice coupling effects.Aerodyna

Can microprocessor knees reduce the disparity in trips and falls risks between above and below knee prosthesis users?

While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently.Recognising this, engineers designed microprocessor knees (MPK) to help mitigate these risks, but to what extent these devices reduce this CAP FRAME MAIN REAR disparity between above and below knee us
