TL;DR: It is suggested that increase in the performance of the skeletal muscles through prestretching was attributed to the combined effects of the utilization of stored elastic energy and the reflex potentiation of muscle activation.
Abstract: Force-velocity and power-velocity curves in a vertical jump involving movements around several joints were derived from vertical ground reaction forces and knee angular velocities. The jumps were performed with weights from 10 to 160 kg added on the shoulders. The obtained curves from a semi-squatting static starting position resembled those reported for isolated muscles or single muscle groups. Vertical jumps were also performed in the conditions where the shortening of the leg extensors was preceded by prestretching of the active muscles either through a preparatory counter-movement or dropping down on the force-platform from the various heights ranging from 20 to 100 cm. Prestretching modified through a range of velocities the force-velocity and power-velocity curves by increasing both the ground reaction forces and the calculated mechanical power. Thus the results are similar to those reported in isolated muscles. In studies with isolated muscle preparation the nervous connections have not been intact and therefore it is suggested that increase in the performance of the skeletal muscles through prestretching, in the conditions of the present study, was attributed to the combined effects of the utilization of stored elastic energy and the reflex potentiation of muscle activation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of essentially ab initio simulations of creeping flow through large threedimensional random fiber webs that closely resemble fibrous sheets such as paper and nonwoven fabrics are reported.
Abstract: We report the results of essentially ab initio simulations of creeping flow through large threedimensional random fiber webs that closely resemble fibrous sheets such as paper and nonwoven fabrics. The computational scheme used in this Letter is that of the lattice-Boltzmann method and contains no free parameters concerning the properties of the porous medium or the dynamics of the flow. The computed permeability of the web is found to be in good agreement with experimental data, and confirms that permeability depends exponentially on porosity over a large range of porosity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a complete metric measure space with µ Borel and doubling that admits a (1,p)-Poincare inequality for every q > p - e, quantitatively.
Abstract: Let p > 1 and let (X,d,µ) be a complete metric measure space with µ Borel and doubling that admits a (1,p)-Poincare inequality. Then there exists e > 0 such that (X,d,µ) admits a (1,q)-Poincare inequality for every q > p - e, quantitatively.

TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative meta-study reported here investigated Finnish vocational teachers' professional agency amid an educational reform and found that teachers' agency could remain stable or could change over time, and agency drew on various resources (e.g. teacher identity and the organizational management culture).

TL;DR: The conclusion is that it is better to use several methods for the same problem when possible; when not, the use of ELECTRE III.
