This study pertains to the response of intervertebral joint under dynamic axial load. The numerical model represents two vertebral bodies with an interposed disk and uses three-dimensional elements. A transversely isotropic material law is adopted for cortical bone and an isotropic law for cancellous bone. Annulus collagen fibers are modelled using truss elements with no compressive resistance. The disk material is assumed hyperelastic, using a mixed finite element approach, allowing a representation of the disk involving the incompressibility characteristics for the material. The analysis considers finite displacement and strain fields under dynamic load. Intensity, trend and distribution of loads on the vertebral body are deduced from the literature. The problem is investigated with reference to different compressibility levels of disk material related to disk degenerationn phenomena.

The effective collection of interfacial tribo-charges and an increase in load voltage are two essential factors that improve the output energy of triboelectric nanogenerators. However, some tribo-charges are hardly collected through one or multiple integrated side electrodes based on corona discharge, and their load voltages are limited by air breakdown in adjacent electrodes. In this study, a dynamic quasi-dipole potential distribution model is proposed to systematically reveal the mechanisms of interfacial tribo-charge loss.

Load frequency control (LFC) is critical for maintaining stability in interconnected power systems, addressing frequency deviations and tie-line power fluctuations due to system disturbances. Existing methods often face challenges, including limited robustness, poor adaptability to dynamic conditions, and early convergence in optimization. This paper introduces a novel application of the sinh cosh optimizer (SCHO) to design proportional-integral (PI) controllers for a hybrid photovoltaic (PV) and thermal generator-based two-area power system.

Objectives: Postoperative pulmonary complications (POPC) are common after cardiac surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and are influenced by factors including anesthesia and surgical trauma. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with visual biofeedback may mitigate these complications. This study investigates the impact of threshold loading inspiratory muscle training (TL-IMT) combined with respiratory biofeedback on the dynamic strength of inspiratory muscles (S-index) in patients undergoing CABG surgery during their hospitalization phase.

Arabidopsis PHOSPHATE 1 (AtPHO1) and its closest homologue AtPHO1;H1 are phosphate transporters that load phosphate into the xylem vessel for root-to-shoot translocation. AtPHO1 and AtPHO1;H1 are prototypical members of the unique SPX-EXS family, whose structural and molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we determined the cryogenic electron microscopy structure of AtPHO1;H1 binding with inorganic phosphate (Pi) and inositol hexakisphosphate in a closed conformation.

Pillar stability has garnered significant attention owing to the effects of pillars on coal resource recovery rate, coal pillar stability, and coal bump risk. This study examined the roadway stability control principles of conventional and yield coal pillars. The conventional coal pillars were designed as load-bearing structures with a high load-bearing capacity to carry most of the abutment load, while yield coal pillars were designed as buffer structures for transferring rapidly increasing abutment loads to adjacent solid coal ribs by progressive deformation.
