Accretion on to Magnetic White Dwarfs by Wickramasinghe Dayal

“…Material couples on to field lines via an inner transition region where the velocity changes from essentially free fall to co-rotation. The polars have no counterparts in neutron star systems and their study provides unique insights into the complex nature of the magnetospheric boundary. …”

Dynamic testing of old and young baboon cortical bone with numerical validation by Bredbenner T., Nicholls A.E., Nicolella D., Chocron S., Havill L.

“…Additionally, simplified simulations were performed to estimate the strain rate environment of a femur during a fall at an impact velocity of 5 m/s, similar to a free fall velocity from a height of 1.3 meters. The simulations confirm that strain rates obtained in the Hopkinson bar are relevant because they are similar to those expected inr such a fall.…”

Putative Receptors for Gravity Sensing in Mammalian Cells: The Effects of Microgravity by Michele Aventaggiato, Federica Barreca, Enza Vernucci, Mariano Bizzarri, Elisabetta Ferretti, Matteo A. Russo, Marco Tafani

“…Microgravity is a singular condition in which many molecular changes occur, strictly connected with the modified gravity force and free fall of bodies. Here, we first summarize the most important mechanosensors involved in normogravity and microgravity. …”

GLACIAL LAKE TSUNAMI OF 13 OCTOBER 2000 ON "EL ALTAR" VOLCANO OF ECUADOR by Theofilos Toulkeridis, Izar Sínde-González, Jheny Orbe

“…A detailed mapping of available air photos and satellite images have been reviewed and evaluated in order to reconstruct the catastrophic event of 2000 and a previous one, evidencing that climate change and the associated subsequent reduction of the glacial caps have been responsible for the disassociation of a huge mass of rock(s), of which separation has resulted to an impact in the volcanic lake by an almost free fall of some 770 meters above lake level ground. …”

Spaceborne Atom-Interferometry Gravity Gradiometry Design towards Future Satellite Gradiometric Missions by Zhu Zhu, He Liao, Haibo Tu, Xiaochun Duan, Yanbin Zhao

“…In this paper, a feasible method of spaceborne atom-interferometry gravity gradiometry is proposed by utilizing the free-fall condition of the cold atoms in space. Compared with GOCE, which shows an in-orbit noise performance of 10~20 mE/Hz^1/2, the scheme described in this paper would achieve a high sensitivity of 1.9 mE/Hz^1/2 for gravity gradients measurement by reducing the orbital altitude and optimizing the interrogation time for atom interferometry. …”

DyNeuMo Mk-1: Design and pilot validation of an investigational motion-adaptive neurostimulator with integrated chronotherapy. by Zamora, M, Toth, R, Morgante, F, Ottaway, J, Gillbe, T, Martin, S, Lamb, G, Noone, T, Benjaber, M, Nairac, Z, Sehgal, D, Constandinou, TG, Herron, J, Aziz, TZ, Gillbe, I, Green, AL, Pereira, EAC, Denison, T

“…To enable exploration of adaptive algorithms with chronic implants, we designed and validated the ‘Picostim DyNeuMo Mk-1’ (DyNeuMo Mk-1 for short), a fully-implantable, adaptive research stimulator that titrates stimulation based on circadian rhythms (e.g. sleep, wake) and the patient's movement state (e.g. posture, activity, shock, free-fall). The design leverages off-the-shelf consumer technology that provides inertial sensing with low-power, high reliability, and relatively modest cost. …”
