Sommario/riassunto |
|
You can never step in the same river twice, goes the old adage of philosophy. An observation on the transitory nature of fluids in motion, this saying also describes the endless variations researchers face when studying human movement. Understanding these biodynamics why the wirewalker doesnt fall requires a grasp of the constant fluctuations and fine tunings which maintain balance in the complex, fluid system of |

human locomotion. Taking a comprehensive approach to the phenomenon of locomotion, Biodynamics: Why the Wirewalker Doesnt Fall integrates physical laws and principles with concepts of fractals, chaos, and randomness.; In so doing, it formulates a description of both the large-scale, smooth aspects of locomotion and the more minute, randomized mechanisms of this physiological process. Ideal for beginners in this subject, Biodynamics provides an elegant explanation without assuming the readers understanding of complex physical principles or mathematical equations. |

Hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as"fracking," is a technique used by the oil and gasindustry to mine hydrocarbons trapped deep beneath theEarth's surface. The principles underlying the technology arenot new. Fracking was first applied at the commercial level in theUnited States as early as 1947, and over the decades it has beenapplied in various countries including Canada, the UK, and Russia.The author worked with engineering teams as early as the mid-1970sin evaluating ways to improve oil recovery from this practice. By and large fracking was not an economically competitivepro |
