Does ball carrier technique influence tackler head injury assessment risk in elite rugby union?
(2019)The aim of this study was to use video evidence of tackles in elite level rugby union to identify ball carrier proficiency characteristics, for both lower and upper body tackles, that have a higher propensity to result in ... -
Age-related responses to injury and repair in insect cuticle
(The Company of Biologists Ltd, 2019)We evaluated the ability of female adult desert locusts (Schistocercagregaria) to repair injuries to their exoskeletons and restore mechanical strength over the course of their natural life. We discovered that younger ... -
Foreword: Special Section on Data Center Cooling
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)Data centers account for a significant and growing fraction of the worldwide electricity demand, rising by an average of 11% per year from 2000 to a consumption of 27.1 GW in 2010, representing 1.3% of the total worldwide ... -
Sleeve Pneumatic Artificial Muscles for Antagonistically Actuated Joints
(2019)Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) have been researched for applications in powered exoskeletons, orthosis and robotics. Their high force to mass ratio, low cost and inherent compliance are particularly ... -
Predictive capacity of the MADYMO Multibody human body model applied to head kinematics during rugby union tackles
(MDPI - Applied Sciences, 2019)Multibody models have not yet been evaluated for reconstructing head kinematics during sports impacts. Accordingly, the goal of this study was to utilise whole-body motion data from twenty upper and mid/lower trunk rugby ...
