BackgroundIt is accepted that the metabolic response of bone tissue depends on the intensity of the mechanical loads, but also on the type and frequency of stress applied to it.Physical exercise such as running involves stresses which, under certain conditions, have been shown to have the best osteogenic effects.However, at high intensity, it can b
Spatial and temporal patterns of genetic diversity in Bombus terrestris populations of the Iberian Peninsula and their conservation implications
Abstract The bumblebee Bombus terrestris is used worldwide for crop pollination.Despite its positive impact on crop yield, it has become a widespread threat to biodiversity due to its interactions with local bumblebee populations.Commercial subspecies introduced to the Iberian Peninsula since the 1990s without any regulation have colonized the envi
Integrated Prognostics Observer for Condition Monitoring of an Automated Manual Transmission Dry Clutch System
The closed loop feedback control system of an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) electro-pneumatic clutch actuator is used for intelligent real time condition monitoring, enhanced diagnostics and prognostic health management of the dry clutch system, by integrating with the existing gearbox prognostics observer.The real-time sensor data of the clu
