Neuromuscular Fatigue Following Isometric Contractions with Similar Torque Time Integral
2014
International audience; Torque time integral (TTI) is the combination of intensity and duration of a contraction. The aim of this study was to compare neuromuscular alterations following different isometric sub-maximal contractions of the knee extensor muscles but with similar TTI. Sixteen participants performed 3 sustained contractions at different intensities (25 %, 50 %, and 75 % of Maximal Voluntary Contraction (MVC) torque) with different durations (68.5 +/- 33.4 s, 35.1 +/- 16.8 s and 24.8 +/- 12.9 s, respectively) but similar TTI value. MVC torque, maximal voluntary activation level (VAL), M-wave characteristics and potentiated doublet amplitude were assessed before and immediately a…
Gamma-X-ray coincidence Mössbauer emission spectroscopy on57Co/CoO
1994
The time integral Mossbauer emission spectrum of a57Co/Co1−xO source (x ≈ 10−5) at RT consists of two single Lorentzian lines of an Fe2+ (76%) charge state and an Fe3+ (24%) aliovalent charge state. The spectrum measured by γ-X-ray coincidence spectrpscopy shows the same fraction of the aliovalent charge state, contrary to the expectation derived from the competing acceptor model as successfully applied by Tejada and Parak [1], who could explain the dependence of the formation of aliovalent charge states after the nuclear transformation on the stoichiometric parameterx. The consequences of this unexpected behaviour for the competing acceptor model are discussed.
The Action Principles in Mechanics
2001
We begin this chapter with the definition of the action functional as time integral over the Lagrangian \(L(q_{i}(t),\dot{q}_{i}(t);t)\) of a dynamical system: $$\displaystyle{ S\left \{[q_{i}(t)];t_{1},t_{2}\right \} =\int _{ t_{1}}^{t_{2} }dt\,L(q_{i}(t),\dot{q}_{i}(t);t)\;. }$$
