[Purpose] The aim of this study was to compare age-related differences in balance and anthropometric posture measurements of the foot and to determine any relationship between them. [Subjects and Methods] Sixty-eight older and 42 younger adults participated in this study. Foot posture was tested for four domains: 1) hallux flexion and extension range of motion using a goniometer, 2) navicular h...

Abstract This paper discusses the use of foil-shaped center bulb in catamaran fishing vessels, where length, width, and height were configured into six variations. study aims to get best configuration that can most reduce total resistance vessels. Ship was tested at Fr 0.15 0.35 using CFD method. The results showed model found Model 6, length 15% greater while width smaller by 10% from original...

dental arch form is one of the most important characteristics of dentition. however, this dimension usually receives less attention in diagnosis or treatment planning and orthodontic patients are traditionally classified with regard to their sagittal characteristics. the objectives of this study were to investigate if a relationship exists between the dental arch width (transverse dimension) an...

This letter reports on the performances of a frequency-tunable lead-zirconate-titanate-transduced fully differential mechanically coupled high-overtone width-extensional filter. The demonstrated electric field tuning provides channel agility and bandwidth adjustability for the incorporation of analog spectral processors in modern radio receiver architectures. We designed and experimentally char...

ProÐle comparison of the Stokes parameters V and I is a powerful tool for maser data analysis, which provides the Ðrst direct methods for unambiguous determination of (1) the maser saturation stage, (2) the ampliÐcation optical depth and intrinsic Doppler width of unsaturated masers, and (3) the comparative magnitudes of Zeeman splitting and Doppler line width. Circular polarization recently de...

Photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence ~CL! spectra of stoichiometric and oxygen-deficient ZnO films grown on sapphire were examined. It was found that the intensities of the green and yellow emissions depend on the width of the free-carrier depletion region at the particle surface; the thinner the width, the larger the intensity. Experimental results and spectral analyses suggest that the m...

The common-mode (CM) current due to a trace near the PCB edge and across a slit in the ground plane is treated experimentally and by FDTD modeling. The width of the slit was 2 mm and the length was varied. The effect of a guard band with a 5 mm width is also discussed. As the slit length becomes longer, |S21| related to the CM current significantly increases. When the slit penetrates to the cen...

Deregulation of power system in recent years has changed static security assessment to the major concerns for which fast and accurate evaluation methodology is needed. Contingencies related to voltage violations and power line overloading have been responsible for power system collapse. This paper presents an enhanced radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) approach for on-line ranking of ...

In the FIDA experiment, a pressure gradient generates the flow resulting in a parabolic flow profile. The parabolic flow profile inside the capillary distorts the indicator zone resulting in a concentration gradient between the center and the periphery of the capillary (figure S1). Equation 5 in the main manuscript is valid provided there is sufficient time for radial diffusion, and that advect...
