BACKGROUND A common knee injury mechanism sustained during basketball is landing badly from a jump. Landing is a complex task and requires good coordination, dynamic muscle control and flexibility. For adolescents whose coordination and motor control has not fully matured, landing badly from a jump can present a significant risk for injury. There is currently limited biomechanical information r...

Introduction: Endovenous laser treatment (ELT) is a new treatment method for the reflux of the great saphenous vein. A successful ELT is dependent on the selection of optimum parameters required to achieve optimal vein damage while avoiding side effects including skin burns. The mathematical modeling of ELT can be used to understand the process of ELT. This study was conducted to examine the ef...

Abstract. The IEEE 802.16 mobile multi-hop relay (MMR) task group ’j’ (TGj) has recently introduced the multi-hop relaying concept in the IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN, wherein a newly introduced relay station (RS) is expected to increase the network performance. In this context, we consider the problem of path selection where several RSs might exist between the base station (so called, MR-BS) and th...

The Covid-19 outbreak has caused a sudden transformation of learning from offline to online modes. Such raises the importance ICT as an integral constituent learning. Hence, present mixed-method study aimed probe into use in ELT and perceived impacts on students’ betterment Eleven English lecturers State Islamic Institute Curup were incorporated participants. quantitative data two foci garnered...

Real-time position estimation for a descent lander is a critical technological need for many planned NASA missions. In particular, it enables the ability to land precisely and safely in a scientifically promising but hazardous site and is a key technology to be demonstrated by NASA in the next decade. The primary question of pinpoint landing is how to localize the lander by recognizing landmark...

In this paper a new implementation of the two-dimensional Extended Lapped Transform (2-D ELT) is proposed. Compared to the separable solution, proposed by Malvar [1], the new realization of 2-D ELT has reduced arithmetic complexity. Computational savings are achieved because scaling and inverse scaling of butter y matrices, suggested by Malvar for 1-D case, are, after some modi cations of the b...

The paper tries to answer the question--to what extent the English Language Teaching theory informs the ELT practice in a reflective case study. It argues that even if it is challenging considering what is beyond the theory in practical use of theory, yet if teacher educators in the field of ELT have a solid academic foundation, they will have the responsibility and capacity to challenge the th...

Neurocognitive motor tasks have been shown to have an effective relationship with athletic performance and musculoskeletal injuries. Cognitive changes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery may lead to adverse knee biomechanical changes and an increased risk of secondary injury. This study aimed to compare the kinetics of athletes with a history of ACL reconstruction and th...

Guano samples from 412 Brazilian bats were screened with real-time PCR for the virulence genes (eae, est, elt, stx1, stx2, ehxA, invA, bfpA, aggR) representing five intestinal pathotypes of Escherichia coli. From 82 pooled samples, 22% contained Escherichia coli DNA, and eae, est, bfpA, aggR were detected.
