Background Compliant flooring, broadly defined as flooring systems or floor coverings with
some level of shock absorbency, may reduce the incidence and severity of fall-related …

We used quarterly data for individual banks to estimate recent dynamic responses to bank
capital shocks. While it took bank capital and securities only one year to adjust to capital …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review surveys recent literature related to cortical bone
fracture mechanics and its application towards understanding bone fragility and hip …

The workplace is changing radically, yet the building designs and environmental systems for
conventional offices fail to support the more fluid use of space and time practised by these …

Historically, wave data coverage of New Zealand's coast has been poor, particularly for
directional records. With very few data sets available of more than 1 year's duration, it has …

Background Shock-absorbing flooring may minimise impact forces incurred from falls to
reduce fall-related injuries; however, synthesized evidence is required to inform decision …

Although balance during quiet standing is postulated to be influenced by multiple factors,
including ankle stiffness, it is unclear how different mechanisms underlying increases in …

A bstract The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) searches for the neutrinoless
double-beta (0νββ) decay of 136 Xe using high-pressure xenon gas TPCs with …

Introduction Hip protectors represent a promising strategy for preventing fall-related hip
fractures. However, clinical trials have yielded conflicting results due, in part, to lack of …

Low stiffness floors such as carpet appear to decrease hip fracture risk by providing a
modest degree of force attenuation during falls without impairing balance. It is unknown …
