No full textPeople with neuromuscular diseases request an orthosis close to the body for assistance with their arm movements. This paper proposes a concept for a passive arm support that is close to the body and is based on bending beams. Simulations resulted in the final configuration and dimensions of the beams, optimised to balance an arm. One Carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer beam with dimensions 0.22x0.0041x0.0027m at the medial side and one at the lateral side of the upper arm delivers the required energy for balancing the arm. Experimental evaluation of a prototype demonstrated the technical principle; more than 87% of the moment around the shoulder was balanced between 0 and 1.1rad. A second prototype was built for preliminary evaluation of the concept in relation to the body. The width of the elastic and structural elements was more than four times smaller than in present arm supports. From this it was concluded that bending beams have the potential to make an orthosis that is closer to the upper arm than current orthoses.BMEBioMechanical EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin

J.L. Brierly and The Modernization of International Law
Full text linkIn this Article, the author provides an analysis of a classic of international law, The Law of Nations, by J.L. Brierly. The author describes Brierly as an international legal scholar whose modernization of international law involves an emphasis on fact and complexity, an emphasis that is ultimately little more than a gesture. The author then examines the narrative structure of The Law of Nations and indicates the normative messages disclosed in Brierly\u27s telling of the story of international law. Finally, the author describes Brierly\u27s effort to describe international law as occupying a political realm while Brierly\u27s evolutionary optimism made him anything but a political realist. In short, the author sees in Brierly\u27s promises of complexity and realism a thinly veiled simplicity that would be subsumed into the orthodoxies of international legal thought
Experimental application of a dynamic observer to capture and predict the dynamics of a flat-plate boundary layer
No full textThe recent approach, proposed by Guzman-Inigo et al. \cite{GuzmanInigo2014}, using System Identification to derive a Reduced Order Model from snapshots of a flow is applied to a transitional boundary layer growing over a flat-plate. It is shown that such an approach can indeed be applied to experimental PIV snapshots. Using a proper learning dataset and a proper local sensor, it is shown that the evolution of boundary layer can be properly estimated from the time evolution of the local probe and with no more than ten POD modes for the Reduced Order Model. The influence of the various parameters on the efficiency of the system identification technique is discussed

No full textMenopausal hot flushes after breast cancer
Full text linkThe study aimed to improve understanding of the natural history and impact of hot flushes after breast cancer.Data were collected from women participating in an RCT of relaxation to reduce the incidence of flushes from breast cancer follow-up clinics from two hospitals in South-East England. Repondents were 150 women experiencing hot flushes following completion of primary treatment for breast cancer. This study utilized a flush diary, the Hot Flushes and Night Sweats Questionnaire (HFNSQ), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy with Endocrine Subscale (FACT-ES) and Spielberger State/Trait Anxiety Index (STAI) as the main outcome measures. The study found that in this sample, 51 (34%) women experienced flushes more than fiveyears after diagnosis and 75 (50%) more than 5 years after menopause. Sleep disruption occurred in 90 women (72% of those that returned diaries), affecting half of the nights they recorded. The mean problem rating on the HFNSQ was 4.85 out of 10. A peak incidence of flushes was apparent around 10 a.m. in women taking tamoxifen. It was concluded that hot flushes after breast cancer may be long-lasting and cause sleeping difficulties for many women. Tamoxifen may affect the diurnal pattern of flushes. After breast cancer, the duration of flushes, potential distress and disruption to women’s lives should not be underestimated and appropriate interventions should be offered
