"Future Planet - How the present can influence the future" is an interactive and collaborative virtual environment designed to raise awareness of environmental issues and promote sustainable choices. The project addresses ...

Background: Stair walking requires to elevate or lower the body center of mass and results in increased muscle contractions and consumed energy compared to level walking. Mechanical work produced by the body can be quantified ...

Maintaining forward walking during human locomotion requires mechanical joint work, mainly provided by the ankle–foot in non-amputees. In lower-limb amputees, their metabolic overconsumption is generally attributed to ...

The computation of guided modes in fluid-loaded multilayer plates is generally done by a spatial approach, i.e. solutions are sought for a complex slowness. An alternative approach, less frequently employed, involves ...
