This paper presents an optimal design of a large-capacity Magnetorheological (MR) damper suitable for off-road vehicle applications. The damper includes an MR fluid bypass valve with both annular and radial gaps to generate a large damping force and dynamic range. An analytical model of the proposed damper is formulated based on the Bingham plastic mode ...

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) affects paraspinal muscle size, quality (e.g., fatty infiltration), range of motion (ROM), and strength. Although transcutaneous electrotherapies are used to treat CLBP, their effects on paraspinal-related outcomes are not fully known. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the overall effect of tr ...

Transmembrane transport proteins (transporters) play a crucial role in the fundamental cellular processes of all organisms by facilitating the transport of hydrophilic substrates across hydrophobic membranes. Despite the availability of numerous membrane protein sequences, their structures and functions remain largely elusive. Recently, natural language ...

Occupational injuries and illnesses are major risk factors for human health impacts worldwide, but they have not been consistently nor comprehensively considered in life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methods. In this study, we quantified occupational health impacts as disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for nonfatal injuries and illnesses in all US ...

Antenna arrays offer advantages in terms of spatial diversity, allowing for control over pattern specifications in space. The incorporation of frequency diversity in arrays presents an opportunity to manipulate beams in the Space-Time domain. Unlike conventional arrays, Frequency Diverse Arrays (FDA) with added frequency diversity exhibit time-variant a ...

The increasing enrichment of microplastics (MPs) in the shoreline environment poses both ecological and social-economic risks. The alteration and motion of MPs in the ocean under the effect of bulk nanobubbles (NBs) have been less extensively studied. In this study, we explored the behavior and movement of various MPs in the presence of bulk NBs. The ro ...

Animals must learn foraging skills to successfully survive and reproduce but the sources of interindividual variation in learning are poorly understood. For example, there is little consensus on the role motivation plays, even though it is a key factor impacting learning outcomes in humans. Here, we conduct a field experiment on a wild primate to invest ...
