Human tendon mechanical properties are modified with loading. Moreover, there are indications that the training response in the tendon is gender specific. The aim of the current study was to examine whether in vivo patella tendon stiffness (K) differ...

Panel: ‘The Public Interest and EU Information Society Policy: the Role of Soft Governance’,, London

The paper has two key findings. First, the EU’s employment of soft governance as a policy tool to stimulate effective transposition and implementation of agreed measures in telecommunications has been utilised alongside the threat (and use of) hard l...
