The overhead throwing motion is a coordinated effort of muscle units from the entire body, culminating with explosive motion of the upper extremity. The throwing motion occurs at a rapid pace, making analysis difficult in real time. Electromyographic studies and high-speed video recordings have provided invaluable details regarding the involved musculature, the sequence of muscle involvement, a...

It has been conjectured that the bosonic open string theory around the nonperturbative tachyon vacuum has no open string dynamics at all. We explore, in the cubic open string field theory with level truncation approximation, the possibility that this conjecture is realized by the absence of kinetic terms of the string field fluctuations. We study the kinetic terms with two and four derivatives ...

In this paper we present explicit formulas for the eccentric connectivity index of three classes of chain hexagonal cacti. Further, it is shown that the extremal chain hexagonal cacti with respect to the eccentric connectivity index belong to one of the considered types. Some open problems and possible directions of further research are mentioned in the concluding section.

A short survey is given of the main characteristics of the reaction of uptake of molecular oxygen by biological dioxygen carriers. Co(ll) complexes able to bind dioxygen are then examined in order to determine whether the type and features of the peroxocomplexes formed are related to the nature of the ligand and the solvent. The thermodynamic and kinetic data relative to the formation in aqueou...

Background The aim of this study was to asses results obtained from a range of commonly performed lower extremity “open and closed” chain kinetic tests used for predicting foot function and correlate these test findings to data obtained from the Zebris WinFDM-T system. When performed correctly these tests are thought to be indicators of lower extremity function. Podiatrists frequently perform e...
