  2. 1. PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOMECHANICAL FACTORS DETERMINING CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING PERFORMANCE

    Author : Erik Andersson; Hans-Christer Holmberg; Glenn Björklund; Thomas Stöggl; Jos J. de Koning; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : cycle characteristics; energy cost; energy yield; incline; joint angles; kinematics; kinetics; mechanics; Nordic skiing; oxygen deficit; oxygen demand; technique transitions; total metabolic rate.;

    Abstract : Cross-country (c.c.) skiing is a complex sport discipline from both physiological and biomechanical perspectives, with varying course topographies that require different proportions of the involved sub-techniques to be utilised. A relatively new event in c. READ MORE

  4. 2. Caloramator Boliviensis, a New Thermoanaerobe with Interesting Metabolic Properties

    Author : Carla Crespo; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Caloramator boliviensis; catabolic flexibility; ethanol production; butyrate-based lactate; wide substrate utilization range; metabolic shift; carbon and electron balance; functional genome annotation;

    Abstract : A novel ethanol-producing thermoanaerobe Caloramator boliviensis 45BT (=DSM 22065T, =CCUG 57396T) was isolated from a hot spring of the Bolivian highlands. C. READ MORE

  5. 3. Avian thermoregulation across age and seasons

    Author : Fredrik Andreasson; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ambient temperature; body temperature; Cyanistes caeruleus; energy expenditure; hypothermia; life-history theory; metabolic rate; Parus major; thermoregulation; trade-off; winter ecology;

    Abstract : Animals constantly need to relate to prevailing environmental conditions and regulate their body temperature accordingly. Body temperature regulation in birds and mammals is inherently linked to energy expenditure and, thus, thermoregulation is a physiological mechanism that could trade-off with other costly processes, with potential long-term fitness consequences.

  6. 4. Quantifying Gait Characteristics and Neurological Effects in people with Spinal Cord Injury using Data-Driven Techniques

    Author : Minh Truong; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Ruoli Wang; Emelie Butler Forslund; Åke Seiger; Peter Christian Raffalt; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gait analysis; pathological gait; biomechanics; health informatics; metabolic cost; unsupervised learning; nonparametric regression; shapley addictive explanations; gånganalys; funktionsnedsättning; gångpatologi; energiförbrukning; maskininlärning; hälsoinformatik; biomekanik; AI; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Spinal cord injury, whether traumatic or nontraumatic, can partially or completely damage sensorimotor pathways between the brain and the body, leading to heterogeneous gait abnormalities. Mobility impairments also depend on other factors such as age, weight, time since injury, pain, and walking aids used. READ MORE

  7. 5. Walking efficiently with smart springs

    Author : Israel Luis; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Ruoli Wang; Benjamin J. Fregly; KTH; []
    Keywords : Musculoskeletal modeling and simulation; muscle-tendon biomechanics; muscle parameter calibration; metabolic energy models; gait analysis; exoskeleton assistance; biomechanics; Biomekanisk modellering och simulering; rörelseorganen; biomekanik; muskel; muskelmodell och muskelarkitektur; metabolisk energi och kostnad; gång; gånganalys; exoskelett; hjälpmedel; gångpatologi; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Numerous assistive exoskeletons have been developed in recent years to assist walking in individuals with and without motor disorders. A standard metric to measure the efficacy of assistance is the change in the metabolic energy cost between unassisted and assisted conditions. READ MORE
