Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the association of the knee flexion excursion to the vertical center-of-mass (COM) amplitude and to the lower-extremity muscle work during stance phase for subjects with knee osteoarthritis. Method: Twenty subjects scheduled for total knee replacement and 20 controls performed level walking during standard gait analysis. Dependent variables included stance-phase knee flexion excursion, vertical COM amplitude, and lower-extremity muscle work. Results: Compared to healthy control, subjects with knee osteoarthritis walked with significantly less st

Abstract:
Many images consist of two or more "phases", where a phase is a collection of homogeneous zones. For example, the phases may represent the presence of different sulphides in an ore sample. Frequently, these phases exhibit very little structure, though all connected components of a given phase may be similar in some sense. As a consequence, random set models are commonly used to model such images. The Boolean model and models derived from the Boolean model are often chosen. An alternative approach to modelling such images is to use the excursion sets of random fields to model each phase. In thi

Abstract Background People with low back pain (LBP) may display an altered lumbar movement pattern of early lumbar motion compared to people with healthy backs.

Abstract:
Complex phenomena, as water hammer transients, occurring in nuclear power plants are still not very well investigated by the current best estimate computational tools. Within this frame work, a rapid positive reactivity addition into the core generated by a water hammer transient is considered. The numerical simulation of such phenomena was carried out using the coupled RELAP5/PARCS code. An over all data comparison shows good agreement between the calculated and measured core pressure wave trends. However, the predicted power response during the excursion phase did not correctly match the exp

Abstract:
This study was undertaken to investigate whether differences exist in the coupling of foot and knee motions during the support phase of running in subjects with normal rearfoot motion and those who pronate. Excursion ratios between rearfoot eversion and tibial internal rotation were compared between the two groups. Timing between peak eversion, knee flexion, and knee internal rotation was also examined, and correlations between various foot and knee angles were assessed. Timings between peak knee and rearfoot angles were not significantly different between groups, although times were more clos

Abstract Small-scale jets, such as chromospheric and transition region (TR) network jets, are of great interest regarding coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. Spectroscopic analysis based on multiple spectral lines with different formation temperatures is essential for understanding the physical properties and driving mechanisms of jets. Here, we conduct an investigation of the physical properties of a small-scale chromospheric jet in a quiet-Sun network region and its TR counterpart. This jet is recorded from formation to extinction using the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph at the Goo

Abstract:
Center of pressure (COP) during gait is a useful measure for assessing gait ability and has been investigated using platform or insole systems. However, these systems have inherent restrictions in repeated measure design or in obtaining true vertical force. This study proposes a novel method based on a pressure-sensitive mat system for COP measurement and presents normal reference values for the system. To explore repeatability, this work also investigated relative and absolute intra-rater reliabilities and determined the number of footfalls required to obtain a reliable measurement. Ninety he

Abstract:
Cycle-tourism seems to be an emerging touristic model in many countries, including Greece. Although the infrastructure is limited, entrepreneurship can support the development of such tourism sector, as cycle-tourists have specific needs to be met during an excursion. Thus, it would be helpful if stores that meet specific prerequisites could be certificated as cycle-friendly companies. In order for such certification to be developed, it is necessary for those parameters to be defined. This paper focuses on that topic and such criteria were identified through in-depth interviews with cycle-tour

Abstract:
We study helical phase inflation which realizes “monodromy inflation” in supergravity theory. In the model, inflation is driven by the phase component of a complex field whose potential possesses helicoid structure. We construct phase monodromy based on explicitly breaking globalU(1)symmetry in the superpotential. By integrating out heavy fields, the phase monodromy from single complex scalar field is realized and the model fulfills natural inflation. The phase-axion alignment is achieved from explicitly symmetry breaking and gives super-Planckian phase decay constant. TheF-term scalar potenti

Abstract:
Background: There is disagreement in the literature regarding whether the excessive excursion or velocity of rearfoot eversion is related to the development of 2 common running injuries: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) and medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS). An alternative hypothesis suggests that the duration of rearfoot eversion may be an important factor. However, the duration of eversion has received relatively little attention in the biomechanics literature. Hypothesis: Runners with AT or MTSS will demonstrate a longer duration of eversion but not greater excursion or velocity of eversion co

Simultaneous submental electromyography, respiratory plethysmography, and fiber-optic endoscopy revealed a well-timed pattern between physiological respiratory events and related swallowing events. Expiration was the phase of respiration that was most closely associated with deglutition. Respiration was usually maintained at the onset of deglutition and halted before the onset of laryngeal elevation. The apneic interval was appr

Abstract:
Individuals with knee joint pathologies exhibit quadriceps dysfunction that, during walking, manifests as smaller peak knee extensor moment (pKEM) and reduced knee flexion excursion. These changes persist despite muscle strengthening and may alter stance phase knee joint loading considered relevant to osteoarthritis risk. Novel rehabilitation strategies that more directly augment quadriceps mechanical output during functional movements are needed to reduce this risk. As an important first step, we tested the efficacy of real-time biofeedback during walking to prescribe changes of ±20% and ±40%
