Inappropriate, excessive, or overly strenuous training of sport horses can result in long-term injury, including the premature cessation of a horse's sporting career. As a countermeasure, this study demonstrates the easy implementation of a biomechanical load monitoring system consisting of five commercial, multi-purpose inertial sensor units non-invasively attached to the horse's distal limbs and trunk. From the data obtained, specific parameters for evaluating gait and limb loads are derived, providing the basis for objective exercise load management and successful injury prevention.

This study investigated muscle activation, shocks, and vibrations of the upper extremities during tennis serves between junior and adult tennis players. Thirty-five well-trained tennis players (15 juniors and 20 adults) performed 10 maximal successful tennis serves. Two triaxial accelerometers recorded the shock and vibration on the racket and the hand on the dominant side.

When companies are uncertain about the potential of a new formulation to be bioequivalent to a Reference product, it is common practice to carry out downsized pilot studies as a gatekeeping in vivo strategy to decide whether to move forward or not with a full-size pivotal study. However, due to the small study size, these studies are inarguably more sensitive to variability. To address and mitigate the uncertainty of the conclusions of pilot studies concerning the maximum observed concentration (C), the factor was proposed as an alternative approach to the average bioequivalence statistical methodology.

We focus on optimizing oil displacement in brownfields using alkali polymers (AP) flooding. The goal is to enhance rock-fluid and fluid-fluid interactions to improve oil recovery. The evaluation includes detailed screening of AP mixtures to ensure cost-effectiveness and maximize chemical slug efficiency, using an AP pilot project in Austria as a case study.

Lignin, the most abundant natural aromatic polymer, holds considerable promise for applications in various industries. The primary obstacle to the valorization of lignin into useful materials is its low molecular weight and diminished chemical reactivity, attributable to its intricate structure. This study aimed to treat lignocellulosic biomass using a switchable solvent (DBU-HexOH/HO) derived from the non-nucleophilic superbase 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.
