In this study, we Ginger Root improve the existing model for force distribution over the muscles by considering reflex excitation as a nonvoluntary mechanism of our neuromuscular system.The improved model can explain the large difference between biological torque and experimentally optimized assistive torque profiles.Accordingly, we hypothesize tha
Abstract Population connectivity is driven by individual dispersal potential and modulated by natal philopatry.In seabirds, high vagility facilitates dispersal yet philopatry is also common, with foraging area overlap often correlated with population connectivity.We assess the interplay between these processes by studying past and current connectiv
Abstract The topology of the network of load transmitting connections plays an essential role in the cascading failure dynamics of complex systems driven by the redistribution of load after local breakdown events.In particular, as the network structure is gradually tuned from regular to completely random a transition occurs from the localized to me
Changes in lipid profile constitute the main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.Algae extracted carrageenans are long-chain polysaccharides and their ability to form gels provides for the formation of vegetable jelly.The objective was to evaluate the bioactive potential of carrageenan (E407) in the lipid profile, after ingestion of jelly.A tot
