Technology for Children With Brain Injury and Motor Disability: Executive Summary From Research Summit IV.

Abstract: Advances in technology show promise as tools to optimize functional mobility, independence, and participation in infants and children with motor disability due to brain injury. Although technologies are often used in adult rehabilitation, these have not been widely applied to rehabilitation of infants and children. In October 2015, the Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy sponsored Research Summit IV, "Innovations in Technology for Children With Brain Insults: Maximizing Outcomes." The summit included pediatric physical therapist researchers, experts from other scientific fields, funding agencies, and consumers. Participants identified challenges in implementing technology in pediatric rehabilitation including accessibility, affordability, managing large data sets, and identifying relevant data elements. Participants identified 4 key areas for technology development: to determine (1) thresholds for learning, (2) appropriate transfer to independence, (3) optimal measurement of subtle changes, and (4) how to adapt to growth and changing abilities.

Measurement of unique magnetic and superconducting phases in oxygen-doped high-temperature superconductors La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y).

Abstract: We present a combined magnetic neutron scattering and muon spin rotation study of the nature of the magnetic and superconducting phases in electronically phase separated La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y), x=0.04, 0.065, 0.09. For all samples, we find long-range modulated magnetic order below T(N) is approximately equal to Tc=39 K. In sharp contrast to oxygen-stoichiometric La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4), we find that the magnetic propagation vector as well as the ordered magnetic moment is independent of Sr content and consistent with that of the "striped" cuprates. Our study provides direct proof that superoxygenation in La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y) allows the spin stripe ordered phase to emerge and phase separate from superconducting regions with the hallmarks of optimally doped oxygen-stoichiometric La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4).

Numerical calibration of a conical five-hole probe for supersonic measurements

Abstract: A miniature conical five-hole probe of 30° half-angle was numerically calibrated for measurements of flow properties at supersonic Mach numbers in order to circumvent the traditional experimental approach, vastly demanding on resources. The principle of a multi-hole conical probe is based on the notion that Mach number, pressure and directionality of the incoming stream may be correlated with the combination of pressure readings on the conical probe surface and a Pitot port situated at the flat tip. Using a three-dimensional thin layer Navier-Stokes solver, calibration data were generated for the range of Mach numbers and pitch angles of interest. The validity of the computed pressure distributions on the probe surface was subsequently confirmed in a series of wind tunnel tests including low Mach number and high angularity flow-field. The current study also demonstrated the profound influence of the blunt tip on the nearby static pressure ports, its relevance to the ultimate modelling strategy and the resulting calibration charts.
