Inertiaalianturit juoksun biomekaniikan tutkimisessa - vertailu perinteisiin analysointimenetelmiin
2013
Juoksutekniikan analysoimisessa käytetään usein liikeanalyysiä ja voimalevyjä, joiden avulla voidaan saada tarkkaa tietoa juoksun biomekaniikasta. Viime aikoina on kuitenkin kehitelty myös uusia laitteita, joilla juoksutekniikan analysoiminen onnistuu harjoitusolosuhteissa helposti. Yksi tälläinen laite on Runteq Oy:n kehittämä RunLab™-laite, joka antaa palautetta juoksutekniikasta perustuen inertiaaliantureihin. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli validoida RunLab™- laite juoksun vertikaalisen liikkeen, tukiajan ja nopeuden hidastumisen kontaktin aikana mittaamisessa. Biomekaanisia muuttujia mitattiin voimalevyjä, 3D- liikeanalyysiä sekä RunLab™-laittetta käyttäen. Tutkimuksessa oli aktiiv…
Relations between representational consistency, conceptual understanding of the force concept, and scientific reasoning
2012
Previous physics education research has raised the question of “hidden variables” behind students’ success in learning certain concepts. In the context of the force concept, it has been suggested that students’ reasoning ability is one such variable. Strong positive correlations between students’ preinstruction scores for reasoning ability (measured by Lawson’s Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning) and their learning of forces [measured by the Force Concept Inventory (FCI)] have been reported in high school and university introductory courses. However, there is no published research concerning the relation between students’ ability to interpret multiple representations consistently (i.e.,…
Gas Emissions From the Western Aleutians Volcanic Arc
2021
The Aleutian Arc is remote and highly active volcanically. Its 4,000 km extent from mainland Alaska to Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula hosts over 140 volcanic centers of which about 50 have erupted in historic times. We present data of volcanic gas samples and gas emission measurements obtained during an expedition to the western-most segment of the arc in September 2015 in order to extend the sparse knowledge on volatile emissions from this remote but volcanically active region. Some of the volcanoes investigated here have not been sampled for gases before this writing. Our data show that all volcanoes host high-temperature magmatic-hydrothermal systems and have gas discharges typical of volc…
Lidar detection of carbon dioxide in volcanic plumes
2015
Volcanic gases give information on magmatic processes. In particular, anomalous releases of carbon dioxide precede volcanic eruptions. Up to now, this gas has been measured in volcanic plumes with conventional measurements that imply the severe risks of local sampling and can last many hours. For these reasons and for the great advantages of laser sensing, the thorough development of volcanic lidar has been undertaken at the Diagnostics and Metrology Laboratory (UTAPRAD-DIM) of the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA). In fact, lidar profiling allows one to scan remotely volcanic plumes in a fast and continuous way, and with high s…
Volcanic Plume CO2 Flux Measurements at Mount Etna by Mobile Differential Absorption Lidar
2017
Volcanic eruptions are often preceded by precursory increases in the volcanic carbon dioxide (CO2) flux. Unfortunately, the traditional techniques used to measure volcanic CO2 require near-vent, in situ plume measurements that are potentially hazardous for operators and expose instruments to extreme conditions. To overcome these limitations, the project BRIDGE (BRIDging the gap between Gas Emissions and geophysical observations at active volcanoes) received funding from the European Research Council, with the objective to develop a new generation of volcanic gas sensing instruments, including a novel DIAL-Lidar (Differential Absorption Light Detection and Ranging) for remote (e.g., distal) …
Relationship between volume and energy of vector fields
2001
Abstract A unified study of energy and volume functionals is presented here by determining the critical points of a functional that extends simultaneously energy and volume and that is defined on the product of the manifold of smooth maps C∞(M,N) times the manifold M of riemannian metrics on M. The restriction of this functional to different submanifolds of the space of vector fields X (M)× M is also considered, and used to study several functionals generalizing volume and energy or total bending of vector fields

Anatomical and electrophysiological study of the vomeronasal circuits: Amygdaloid response to odours and pheromones
2017
Rodents detect information concerning the world around them mainly through two chemosensory systems: the olfactory and the vomeronasal systems. In order to develop an appropriate behavioural response to their environment, these systems exhibit both functional and physiological convergence. Further understanding of the organization and function of the olfactory systems would allow us to comprehend how their information is integrated in the brain. In a first approach we performed a thorough analysis of the connections of key structures involved in the processing of vomeronasal information: the medial (Me) and the posteromedial cortical (PMCo) amygdaloid nucleus. Then, we enquire the populatio…
