The effect of wind on jumping distance in ski jumping depends on jumpers’ aerodynamic characteristics

2022

Several studies have suggested re-evaluation of the wind compensation system (WCS) of the International Ski Federation (FIS). It was introduced in 2009, and since then, the system has been modified considerably, but major shortcomings have still remained. The present study compared the effect of tail/head wind on two reference jumps with different aerodynamic properties (Cd and Cl) during the flight phase. Jump distance and total tangential wind speed data of world cup competitions of the season 2020/2021 were used to analyse the FIS WCS and to offer basic information of wind effects. The correlation between the total tangential wind speed and the jump distance varied strongly among the ana…

Multi-Connectivity for User Throughput Enhancement in 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks

2022

To meet the increasing throughput and reliability demands, satellites may be used to complement the Fifth Gener-ation (5G) Terrestrial Networks (TNs). To increase the efficiency of the satellite communications involved, research on bandwidth-efficient techniques is needed. Multi-Connectivity (MC), where a user can be connected to multiple Next Generation Node Bs (gNBs) simultaneously, is one of such techniques. In this paper, the focus is on MC in NonTerrestrial Networks (NTNs) to improve users' experienced throughputs. First, a study of relevant specifications and algorithms is conducted. Then, the designed load-aware Secondary Node (SN) addition and traffic steering algorithms are present…

Shox-Haploinsufficiency Intra-Familial Phenotipic Variability and The Impact On Final Height: Report of a Pedigree

2019

SHOX haploinsufficiency (SHOX-D) is a genetic cause of disharmonic short stature. However, the different impact on phenotype can show differences between patients with the same genotype. GH ameliorates final height, with significant differences between patients for the putative role of environmental factors who can influence growth. We describe the case of two sisters with SHOX-D (target height: 146.8 cm (-2.6SDS); mother: 146.5 cm; father: 160 cm). ZM was first evaluated at the age of 6.8 years for disharmonic short stature: stature: 103.5 cm; SPAN: 99 cm. She was affected by SHOX-D (heterozygous missense mutation c414G>C: p.Glu138Asp of the exon 3). The same mutation was first confirme…

Hidden attractors in dynamical models of phase-locked loop circuits : limitations of simulation in MATLAB and SPICE

2017

During recent years it has been shown that hidden oscillations, whose basin of attraction does not overlap with small neighborhoods of equilibria, may significantly complicate simulation of dynamical models, lead to unreliable results and wrong conclusions, and cause serious damage in drilling systems, aircrafts control systems, electromechanical systems, and other applications. This article provides a survey of various phase-locked loop based circuits (used in satellite navigation systems, optical, and digital communication), where such difficulties take place in MATLAB and SPICE. Considered examples can be used for testing other phase-locked loop based circuits and simulation tools, and m…

Microbial evaluation of Spanish potato omelette and cooked meat samples in University restaurants.

2000

The focus of this study was to evaluate the microbial quality of Spanish potato omelette and cooked meat samples including pork loin, chicken croquettes, long pork sausage, chicken breast, and meatballs from University restaurants. Microbiological analyses of Spanish potato omelette and cooked meat samples resulted in aerobic plate counts from1.00 to 2.90 and from1.00 to 6.04 log10 CFU g(-1), respectively. Total coliforms ranged from3 to 43 most probable number (MPN) g(-1) and from3 to2,400 MPN g(-1) for Spanish potato omelette and meat products, respectively. Escherichia coli, coagulase-positive staphylococci, and Lancefield group-D streptococci were detected in 1.7%, 3.5%, and 12.9% of Sp…

STATURA DEFINITIVA NELL’APLOINSUFFICIENZA DEL GENE SHOX: VARIABILITA’ INTRA-FAMILIARE

2019

Causa genetica di bassa statura disarmonica, l’aploinsufficienza del gene SHOX (SHOX-D) presenta differente espressione fenotipica anche in pazienti con eguale genotipo, con verosimile influenza di fattori epigenetici in grado di condizionare anche la risposta alla terapia con GH e la statura definitiva. Descriviamo il caso di un nucleo familiare (madre, 2 sorelle) con SHOX-D. Statura target: 146.8 cm (-2.6SDS); madre: 146.5 cm; padre: 160 cm). ZM è stata studiata all’età di 6,8 aa per bassa statura disarmonica: statura: 103.5 cm (-3SDS); SPAN: 99 cm; (BA: 6 aa). È stata documentata la mutazione missenso del gene SHOX (c414G>C: p.Glu138Asp dell’esone 3) ed iniziata terapia con GH. La ste…

SHOX Haploinsufficiency in Short and Not Short Children: A Sigle Italian Cetre Data

2018

SHOX haploinsufficiency (SHOX-D) is a cause of disharmonic short stature and a possible genetic cause of idiopathic short stature also in familial cases. We describe clinical, hormonal and genetic characteristics of patients with SHOX-D haploinsufficiency, followed and treated in the period 2014-2017, in a single Italian centre. The Rappold score was used to screen short children, to select those who needed a genetic analysis of SHOX gene by MLPA and sequencing. We selected 6 patients (5 females; 1 male; age: 1.2-11 years), with documented mutations of the SHOX gene or of the promoter. One patient was already treated with low doses of GH for GHD, documented by 2 tests. One patient had type …
