Simulation of the Optimal Refrigerated Floor Design for Ice Rinks

A good design of the ice rink floor could save a great deal of capital and operational costs for hockey arenas.This ice rink floor design focuses on a cost-effective tube arrangement and an optimal concrete coverage Coffee Airpots over the tubes that could provide sufficient heat transfer rate between the coolant and the freezing ice.This paper rep

The choice of reference point for computing sagittal plane angular momentum affects inferences about dynamic balance

Background Measures of whole-body angular momentum in the sagittal plane are commonly used to characterize dynamic balance during human walking.To compute angular momentum, one must specify a reference point about which momentum is calculated.Although biomechanists primarily compute angular momentum about the center of mass (CoM), momentum-based co
