The purpose was to determine if pull-up performance was affected by the use of chalk (100% magnesium carbonate) during open-handed and pinch grip weight-assisted pull-ups (WAPU) in recreationally-trained rock climbers. Furthermore, the reliability of open-handed and pinch grip WAPU was also investigated. Recreationally-active volunteers (n = 9) completed six counterbalanced trials. Participants...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Amygdalar and hippocampal volume measurements indicate a right-greater-than-left asymmetry for right-handed normal participants in most studies. The purpose of this study was to compare amygdalar and hippocampal volume ratios between right- and left-handed participants. METHODS Amygdalar and hippocampal volume measurements were performed in 34 (20 right-handed and 14 le...

The purpose of this study was to compare endurance time and accompanying neuromuscular adjustments when left- and right-handed subjects used the dominant and nondominant arms to sustain submaximal contractions that required either force or position control. Ten left-handed and 10 right-handed healthy adults (21 ± 5 yr) participated in the study. Each subject exerted a similar net torque about t...

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of the gender variable in relation to other player and match characteristics on the advantage possessed by left-handed professional tennis players over their right-handed rivals. The data include 16 732 male tennis players and 16 432 female tennis players who played 438 937 and 415 346 matches, respectively, in the period from 1968 to the end of ...

Nowadays, computer interaction is mostly done using dedicated devices. But gestures are an easy mean of expression between humans that could be used to communicate with computers in a more natural manner. Most of the current research on hand gesture recognition for Human-Computer Interaction deals with one-handed gestures. But two-handed gestures can provide more efficient and easy to interact ...

A simple argument based on an SU(3) gauged horizontal symmetry is presented that connects the explanation for three generations of matter with the existence of a triplet of right-handed neutrinos. This rationale for right-handed neutrinos is analogous to, but completely independent of, grand unification or extra universal dimensions. A brief discussion of the supersymmetrized SU(3) model is als...

Right-handed and Reeb vector fields are two rich classes of on closed, oriented three-manifolds. Prior work Dehornoy Florio–Hryniewicz has produced many examples which right-handed. We prove a result in the other direction. show that closed two-form associated with volume-preserving right-handed field is contact-type. This implies any equal to after multiplication by positive smooth function. C...

The correlation between the CP asymmetry in B → φKs (SφKs) and the chromoelectric dipole moment (CEDM) of strange quark (ds ), which is constrained by the electric dipole moment (EDM) of 199Hg, is studied in the supersymmetric (SUSY) models with the right-handed squark mixing. It is known that, if the right-handed bottom and strange squarks have a CP-violating mixing, such as in the SUSY SU(5) ...

Full optical fiber current sensor phase modulation is the use of magnetic field made the refraction different of left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light, and the linearly polarized light can be decomposed into a left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light. The paper proposes research and design of reflective optical fiber current sensor based on improved phase modula...

Three 2D Ag(I)-framework isomers were constructed from enantiopure camphor-10-sulfonic acids or racemic camphor-10-sulfonic acids, together with achiral 4-aminobenzoic acids. In complex 1, (+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acids bridge the single left-handed helices that are made up of Ag ions and 4-aminobenzoic acids, generating a homochiral 2D layer. In such a structure, the interweaving of triple left...
