The study of physical performance capacity has been of particular interest to the exercise physiologist and many accurate techniques have been designed for the measurement of human performance. The use of maximal oxygen uptake has, since its development by Hill et al in 1924, been regarded as a valuable measure of cardiorespiratory function and used extensively as a criterion of performance cap...

In this paper, it is proved that Lin et al.'s scheme that tried to strengthen the Hill cipher against the known-plaintext attack has several security flaws and is vulnerable to the chosenciphertext attack. This paper also introduces a secure and efficient symmetric cryptosystem based on affine transformation. The proposed cryptosystem includes an encryption algorithm that is an improved variant...

IJEMHHR • Vol. 18, No. 2 • 2016 742 BACKGROUND Falls in hospital are relevant adverse events, due to their frequency and potential consequences, for both patients and healthcare facilities (Saccomano & Ferrara, 2015; Cattelani et al., 2015). In literature, their incidence ranges between 10 and 17 for 1,000 patient bed days, with physical consequences in 30% of the cases (Hill et al., 2015). Fur...

Canul-Chay et al. [1] have conducted the segregation experiment of binary granular mixtures in a bed and subjected the bed to vibration. They report that the reverse Brazil-Nut phenomenon (RBNP) was never observed in their experiments and thus conclude that such does not exist. However, we have clearly demonstrated in [2] by Molecular Dynamics simulations that the reverse Brazil-Nut problem not...

In Response to Fakruddin et al. dicted to result in substitutions of amino acids at the and Apostolou et al. corresponding positions in the protein sequence. In each of these cases, individual tumor DNA samples possessed the same sequence as that of the corresponding cell line. We agree with many of the above findings, including To determine if the divergent sequences represented the frequency ...

Nightlight Christian Adoptions [3] et al. v. Thompson et al. was a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on 8 March 2001. The suit was filed because Nightlight Christian Adoptions [3], a frozen embryo [4] adoption agency, felt that the Guidelines for Research Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells [5] published by the National Institutes for Health were unla...
