    An elliptical doesn't require your body to bear any impact loads, he says, which makes it a much gentler option than a treadmill. When it comes to the lower body, both machines work generally the ...

    Reduces the risk for diabetes (One meta-analysis has shown, from multiple conducted studies, that aerobic exercise does help lower Hb A 1C levels for type 2 diabetics. [45]) Moderates the risk of death due to cardiovascular problems [46] Promotes weight loss [47] [48] Reduces the risk of osteoporosis [49] May improve episodic memory [50]

  4. Waterline length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterline_length

    A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L) [1] is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the waterline). The LWL will be shorter than the length of the boat overall (length overall or LOA) as most boats have bows and stern protrusions that make the LOA greater than the LWL. As a ship becomes more ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_trainer

    Elliptical trainers first entered the market in the 1990s, invented by Precor. [1] Most elliptical trainers work the user's upper and lower body (although some models do not have moving upper body components). Though elliptical trainers are considered to be minimal-impact, they are an example of a weight-bearing form of exercise. [2]

  7. Ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse

    An ellipse (red) obtained as the intersection of a cone with an inclined plane. Ellipse: notations Ellipses: examples with increasing eccentricity. In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.

  8. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)

    In the case of elliptical polarization (circular polarization is in reality just a kind of elliptical polarization where the length of both elasticity factors is the same), filtering out a single angle (e.g. 90°) will have virtually no impact as the wave at any time can be in any of the 360 degrees.

    The most recent interest in long cylindrical members [3] in water ensues from the development of hydrocarbon resources in depths of 1000 m or more. See also [ 4 ] and. [ 5 ] Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is an important source of fatigue damage of offshore oil exploration drilling, export, production risers, including steel catenary risers ...
