Development of a mooring line model for coupled floating structure dynamic analysis by Bai, Ziyi

“…The model should possess the features of adding point buoys, clump weights, different anchor fairlead concepts and multiple line segments to a single mooring line. The model is proposed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory, U.S. as multi-segmented quasi-static modelling. …”

Fine-scale population structure and widespread conservation of genetic effect sizes between human groups across traits by Hu, S, Ferreira, LAF, Shi, S, Hellenthal, G, Marchini, J, Lawson, DJ, Myers, SR

“…To estimate the similarity of genetic effect sizes between groups, we developed ANCHOR, which estimates changes in the predictive power of an existing PGS in distinct local ancestry segments. ANCHOR infers highly similar (estimated correlation 0.98 ± 0.07) effect sizes between UK Biobank participants of African and European ancestry for 47 of 53 quantitative phenotypes, suggesting that gene–environment and gene–gene interactions do not play major roles in poor cross-ancestry PGS transferability for these traits in the United Kingdom, and providing optimism that shared causal mutations operate similarly in different populations.…”

Instabilities in tidal turbine wakes by Smyth, ASM, Nishino, T, Young, AM

“…Unsteady inflow causes the turbine blades to shed vorticity of time-varying strength into the wake, which in turn leads to a spatial variation in wake vortex strength, such that the vorticity of adjacent returning wake segments can differ. This spatial variation triggers the instability of tip vortices, the characteristics of which are shown to be governed by the ’frequency ratio’ ω/ΩNB (where ω is harmonic inflow frequency, Ω is turbine rotational frequency and NB is the number of blades). …”

Biomechanics of Muay Thai : science behind the low kick by Zeng, Ezra Yueyi

“…The main motions involved in the execution of the low kick is the 3-dimensional rotations of the leg segments and the body. In Muay Thai, little attention is given to the kinematic, kinetic and the dynamic concepts and principles involved that form the techniques that are now used today. …”

An investigation on the role of tarsal flexibility in insect walking by Tjuatja, Johan

“…Although there is a wealth of literature on various physical properties of insect leg, such as strength and inner structure, there seems to be a lack of knowledge on the functions or roles of the individual leg segments, such as the tarsus. While the tarsus has been long known to be flexible, there has currently been no study that explains what the purpose of this flexibility is in insect leg. …”

Toward an Asian-based bodily movement database for emotional communication by Cheng, M, Tseng, C, Fujiwara, K, Higashiyama, S, Weng, A, Kitamura, Y

“…To address the obvious risk this bias poses to academic comprehension, we attempted to expand the current repertoire of human bodily emotions by recruiting Asian professional performers to wear whole-body suits with 57 retroreflective markers attached to major joints and body segments, and express seven basic emotions with whole-body movements in a motion-capture lab. …”

Design, synthesis, characterization and property study of topological structures of DNA by Li, Dawei

“…It is also shown unprecedentedly in our investigation that the size of DNA writhe could be accurately engineered by altering T-rich and A-rich segments in the target duplex DNAs. In addition, the results of our studies confirmed that the intrinsic curvatures of organismal DNAs alone could lead to the generation of duplex backbone self-crossings in their relaxed forms and the backbone self-crossings of those organismal DNAs could be readily confirmed through atomic force microscopic examination. …”
