Abstract The present study aims to investigate the reproductive biology of small pelagic Sardinella aurita Valenciennes, 1847 in Canary Islands, enable its reliable assessment and advise on appropriate management measures for a fishing resource showing declining trend landings. Reproductive sexual patterns round sardinella were examined from monthly random samples commercial catches landed by a...

Bats typically roost head-under-heels but they cannot hover in this position, thus, landing on a ceiling presents a biomechanical challenge. To land, a bat must perform an acrobatic flip that brings the claws of the toes in contact with the ceiling and do so gently enough as to avoid injury to its slender hindlimbs. In the present study, we sought to determine how bats land, to seek a link betw...

The purpose of this study was to quantify ground reaction forces across all planes motion and determine the influence instruction associated with vertical, forward lateral hop landings in premenopausal women. Bilateral jump-landings have previously been focus population quantified primarily vertical direction. There is a need understand landing for different types exercises their osteogenic pot...

BACKGROUND We assessed the frequency and types of ankle fractures that frequently occur during parachute landings of special operation unit personnel and analyzed the causes. METHODS Fifty-six members of the special force brigade of the military who had sustained ankle fractures during parachute landings between January 2005 and April 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The injury sites and f...
