Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of open and closed kinematic chain exercises on the elbow joint proprioception in healthy teen-female volleyball players. Materials and Methods: Forty-five teen-female volleyball players participated in this study. They were randomly divided into three groups: open-kinematic chain (OKC), closed kinematic chain (CKC), an...

the thesis has been arranged into five chapters and mainly concerned with the baer-invariant of groups which is the generalization of the schur-multiplier with respect to the variety of groups. chapter one is devoted to collect some notation and background information which are needed in the next chapters. its also contains some important statements which will be generalized in this thesis. cha...

Objective: One of the most common faulty posture of cervical spine is forward head posture (FHP). According to biomechanical changes in the muscles and ligaments of the neck which are rich source of mechanoreceptors, proprioception possibly impaired in forward head posture. Assessment of neck repositioning angles can be an indicator to assess proprioception of this region .The aim of this study...

the present study aimed to investigate the possible effects of focused highlighted error feedback on grammatical accuracy of writing among iranian intermediate efl learners. after selecting 52 homogenous participants from among 70 university students attending azad university of rasht and randomly dividing them into two intact groups of 26 students, the researcher exposed the participants of th...

This paper presents the prediction of vehicle's velocity time series using neural networks. For this purpose, driving data is firstly collected in real world traffic conditions in the city of Tehran using advance vehicle location devices installed on private cars. A multi-layer perceptron network is then designed for driving time series forecasting. In addition, the results of this study are co...

Wind erosion is one of the environmental problems worldwide, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas of Iran. Different methods and models have been proposed to measure and monitor wind erosion in the recent years. One of the accurate models for measuring f wind erosion is the USEPA model. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quantification of wind erosion with the USEPA model and the...

in recent years many researchers have been focused on interaction of small molecules with dna. dna is generally the primary intracellular of anticancer drugs, so the interaction between small molecules and dna can cause dna damage in cancer cells, blocking the division of cancer cells and resulting in cell death. the flavonoids are a large group of polyphenolic natural products that are widely ...
