Purpose: Military boots’ mileage is a main factor that can be influence the risk of sustaining injuries during running. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three types of military boots’ mileage on knee muscular co-contraction during running. Methods: Fifteen healthy males received three new pairs of military boots. They were asked to wear these shoes for over 6 months. ...

A fully integrated single-ended output pushpush oscillator is realized using an advanced 0.2μm SiGe HBT process. Up to –5 dBm output power is achieved at 180 GHz using a technology with a transition frequency fT of 200 GHz and maximum oscillation frequency fMAX of 275 GHz. Preliminary phase noise measurements show a phase noise of less than –90 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the 180 GHz carrier.

AIM To investigate the impact of dentine conditioning on sealing ability and dentine bond strength of an epoxy resin sealer. METHODOLOGY Root canals in 90 single-rooted teeth were instrumented using a rotary Ni-Ti system. Fifty canals were irrigated with water during instrumentation, 40 with 3% NaOCl. A final flush was performed in the water-irrigated specimens with water (negative control), ...

This article presents some reflections on the development of push services and technologies over the Internet, based on work done by the authors in the Swisscast research project from 1997 to 2000 (www.swisscast.net). About five years ago push services were seen as a major trend in Internet communication. Users so it seemed would simply have to subscribe to a series of these services; then, the...

PURPOSE Research verifying the ability of various devices to reduce the forces required for transfers is virtually nonexistent. Therefore, we compared the push forces required to move passive seated subjects across a horizontal surface when four different methods were employed. SUBJECTS 10 men and 14 women (weight 49.1-96.8 kg) served as subjects. METHODS AND MATERIALS Passive subjects were...

We present a xpoint-analysis machine, for the eecient computation of homogeneous, hierarchical, and alternating xpoints over regular , context-free/push-down and macro models. Applications of such x-point computations include intra-and interprocedural data ow analysis , model checking for various temporal logics, and the veriication of behavioural relations between distributed systems. The xpoi...
