Design of an isokinetic knee dynamometer for evaluation of functional electrical stimulation strategies
(2019)Medical Engineering & PhysicsBackground The limitations of functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling directly affect the health benefits acquired from this technology and prevents its’ full potential to be realised. Experiments should be done on a test bed which can isolate and focus only on one muscle group, namely the quadriceps. The aim of this work was to design and develop an isokinetic robotic leg extension/flexion dynamometer which can mimic knee joint ...Journal Article -

Last Lateglacial glacier advance in the Gran Paradiso Group reveals relatively drier climatic conditions established in the Western Alps since at least the Younger Dryas
(2021)Quaternary Science ReviewsThe Late Pleistocene to Holocene transition in the Northern Hemisphere was characterized by abrupt millennial-scale climatic changes testified in the Alpine Chain by proxy records derived from glacial landforms and deposits. A detailed reconstruction of the paleo-glaciers during the deposition of the pre-Little Ice Age (LIA) moraines and newly obtained 10Be exposure ages provide information on the timing of a glacier advance in the Gran ...Journal Article -
Hadronic and electromagnetic fragmentation of ultrarelativistic heavy ions at LHC
(2014)Physical Review. Special Topics. Accelerators and BeamsReliable predictions of yields of nuclear fragments produced in electromagnetic dissociation and hadronic fragmentation of ion beams are of great practical importance in analyzing beam losses and interactions with the beam environment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN as well as for estimating radiation effects of galactic cosmic rays on the spacecraft crew and electronic equipment. The model for predicting the fragmentation of ...Journal Article -
L1 cell adhesion molecule confers radioresistance to ovarian cancer and defines a new cancer stem cell population
(2020)CancersMany solid tumors, including ovarian cancer, contain small populations of cancer stem cells (CSCs). These cells are usually resistant against conventional cancer therapies and play a role in disease recurrence. We demonstrated that the L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) is a new CSC target in ovarian cancer, triggering radioresistance. Using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, specific cell populations expressing L1CAM alone or in combination ...Journal Article
