El macro-modelat de la costa carbonàtica de Victòria (Austràlia): paral.lelismes i diferències amb les cales baleàriques
2019
Les cales són penetracions marines, preferentment a un litoral carbonatat de caràcter tabular, arran de la inundació eustàtica d’un antic curs fluvial en la morfogènesi de les quals, de més a més del paper de la fracturació distensiva i la carstificació, també hi participen els mecanismes de col·lapse i la dinàmica litoral així com les variacions glacio-eustàtiques del nivell marí, especialment durant el Quaternari. El present treball aborda la tipologia i característiques dels elements del macro-modelat de la costa rocosa de Victòria (sud d’Austràlia) i les compara amb els antecedents i el coneixement obtingut en l’estudi de les cales de la Mediterrància occidental, principalment les de le…
Côté mauvaises herbes, tir de barrage sur trois envahissantes
2006
National audience; Les plantes envahissantes sont évoquées à la conférence sur les zones non agricoles de l'AFPPà Avignon les 11 et 12octobre 2006. La situation à leur égard en France et en Europe est présentée, notamment les dispositions réglementaires et l'identité des 34 principales espèces. Deux communications traitent de l'ambroisie à feuille d'armoise Ambrosia artemisiifolia. Un point sur les méthodes de lutte mécanique, chimique, etc.) insiste sur l'intérêt de la prévention (enherbement, etc.)et de la concertation entre acteurs agricoles et non agricoles. Des essais de lutte chimique (glyphosate ou glufosinate-ammonium en 2004 et 2005, les montrent équivalents et intéressants en débu…

Specific muscle-tendon architecture in elite Kenyan distance runners
2013
The Achilles tendon moment arm (MA_AT) and foot lever ratio (FLR) can play important roles for force production and movement economy during locomotion. This notion has become more relevant, and suggestion has been given that the Kenyan runners belonging to the world elite would have specific anatomical, mechanical, and functional properties in their lower limbs and that this feature could be responsible for their high running economy. The present study aimed to characterize the AT of elite Kenyan distance runners as compared with Japanese ones, and to examine the potential relationship with their running performance. Ultrasonography was used to measure AT cross-sectional area and AT soleus …

Significance of passively induced stretch reflexes on achilles tendon force enhancement
1998
An in vivo buckle transducer technique was applied to study the reflex contribution to ATF enhancement during passive dorsiflexion stretches. Single stretches led to a linear ATF increase in the absence of an EMG reflex response, whereas clear ATF enhancement over the passive component occurred 13-15 ms after the onset of EMG responses. To quantify the reflexly induced increase in ATF, the stretched position was maintained. The mean reflex effect was two to four times greater than the passive stretch effect.
Modeling of the Achilles Subtendons and Their Interactions in a Framework of the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation
2022
Experimental results have revealed the sophisticated Achilles tendon (AT) structure, including its material properties and complex geometry. The latter incorporates a twisted design and composite construction consisting of three subtendons. Each of them has a nonstandard cross-section. All these factors make the AT deformation analysis computationally demanding. Generally, 3D finite solid elements are used to develop models for AT because they can discretize almost any shape, providing reliable results. However, they also require dense discretization in all three dimensions, leading to a high computational cost. One way to reduce degrees of freedom is the utilization of finite beam elements…
Medial gastrocnemius muscle and tendon interaction during gait in typically developing children and children with cerebral palsy
2020
1. IntroductionEfficient gait is dependent on optimal interaction between musclesand tendons [1]. Pathological changes in the extensibility of the MGmuscle fascicles, whole muscle-belly and Achilles tendon have beenreported in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) [2]. Studying therelative length of these tissues during gait can improve our understandingof their dynamics and, inferably, the control strategies used inCP. In-vivo dynamic ultrasound imaging has been used to visualise theinteraction between the MG muscle and tendon during 3D gait analysis.However, most studies combined ultrasound imaging of one variable(either fascicles or muscle-belly and tendon) with some form ofmusculosk…
Function of the flexor hallucis longus muscle : what do we know? = A flexor hallucis longus izom működése : mit tudunk róla?
2016
Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle has several functions, including plantarflexion of the ankle, flexion of the big toe and support of the medial longitudinal arch. To date, only a few studies have used non-invasive methods to examine FHL behavior during real-life movements, although the proper functioning of this muscle may be important to increase sport performance, the altered FHL function may contribute to the susceptibility to Achilles tendinopathy and the function of FHL is altered in other clinical conditions such as flatfoot. FHL seems to be multifunctional but other active and passive structures also contribute to the same functions. Because of the multifunctionality of the foot s…
