Asphalt mixture is a skeleton filling system consisting of aggregate and asphalt binder. Its performance is directly affected by the internal load transfer mechanism of the skeleton filling system. It is significant to understand the load transfer mechanisms for asphalt mixture design and performance evaluation. The objective of this paper is to review the research progress of the asphalt mixture load transfer mechanism. Firstly, this paper summarizes the test methods used to investigate the load transfer mechanism of asphalt mixtures. Then, an overview of the characterization of load transfer mechanism from three aspects was provided. Next, the indicators capturing contact characteristics, contact force characteristics, and force chain characteristics were compared. Finally, the load transfer mechanism of asphalt mixtures under different loading conditions was discussed. Some recommendations and conclusions in terms of load transfer mechanism characterization and evaluation were given. The related work can provide valuable references for the study of the load transfer mechanism of asphalt mixtures.

This paper outlines a design approach for biomedical wireless power transfer systems with a focus on three-coil inductive links for neonatal intensive care unit applications. The relevant literature has been explored to support the design approach, equations, simulation results, and the process of experimental analysis. The paper begins with a brief overview of various power amplifier classes, followed by an in-depth examination of the most common power amplifiers used in biomedical wireless power transfer systems.

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.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between a Power Leg Press test (PLP) with walking capacity and self-reported performance and participation in individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP), and to compare the strength of the associations between two power tests (PLP and isokinetic (IsoK)) with walking capacity.
Methods: Ambulatory individuals with CP (n = 33; age 17.89 ± 7.

In this case report we describe evaluating a patient for a traumatic knee arthrotomy using ultrasound in a resource-limited medical clinic at the base of a ski area. A 23-y-old female presented with a laceration superior to the patella of the left leg. On examination, the wound tracked deep, and providers had concern for traumatic arthrotomy.
