Purpose: The current criterion to evaluate 30-second side hop (SH) test performance following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is limited to the absolute number of jumps, neglecting the quality of outer banks pura vida execution.This study aims to assess the relevance of spatiotemporal and force plate derived parameters during the S
ECOPS: Energy-Efficient Collaborative Opportunistic Positioning for Heterogeneous Mobile Devices
The fast growing popularity of smartphones and tablets enables us to use various intelligent mobile applications.As many of those applications require position information, smart mobile devices provide positioning methods such as Global Positioning System (GPS), WiFi-based positioning system (WPS), or Cell-ID-based positioning service.However, thos
Size Segregation of Ternary Mixtures in Inclined Chute Flows: an Experimental Study
Granular materials can segregate spontaneously due to differences in particle properties when subjected to process vibration, shear strain or because of the equipment geometries.Among whole wheat phyllo dough the different properties, difference in particle size is the most relevant factor that drives segregation.Although size-driven segregation ha
Benthic foraminifera for the ecological status assessment of tourist marinas
Living benthic foraminifera were investigated in three tourist marinas of the Central Adriatic in order to test the suitability of these organisms for a quick and cost-effective assessment of the ecological quality status (EcoQS).Local high concentrations of biocidal metals (Cu, Zn, Cr, Sn, Ni and Pb) were measured in the sediments nearby the boath
