This study aimed to investigate the effects of 8-week mat and reformer pilates exercises on functional movement skills, flexibility adult healthy sedentary women. 58 [reformer exercise group (n: 20), 21) control 17)] volunteer women participated in study. Functional Movement Screen test (FMS), sit reach test, Trunk lateral flexion Quadriceps Femoris M.Iliopsoas were applied participants. Two-wa...

This paper deals with a gradually deteriorating system which undergoes a change of its environment conditions. This change impacts the deterioration of the system and leads to an acceleration of its deterioration. The aim of this paper is to assess a control limit maintenance decision rule for such a system. The maintenance policy is then evaluated through its average long run cost rate which i...

We consider models typical to the area of reliability, and a failure rate function for processes describing the dynamics of these models. Various approximations of the failure rate function are proposed and their accuracies are investigated. The basic case studied in the paper is a regenerative model. Some interesting particular cases (Markov, semi-Markov, etc.) are considered. All proposed est...

Homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion is spontaneous multi-site combustion of a nominally premixed air/fuel mixture that exhibits high rate of pressure rise and short combustion duration. To avoid excessive pressure rise rate and knocking, HCCI engines are fueled with highly diluted mixture using a combination of excess air and/or EGR. HCCI combustion is attractive due to ...

The first neutron spectrometer of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) was installed in November 2008. It is a compact neutron spectrometer (CNS) based on a BC501A liquid scintillating detector, which can simultaneously measure 2.45-MeV and 14-MeV neutrons emitted from deuterium (D) plasmas and γ radiation. The scintillating detector is coupled to a digital pulse shape discrimination data acquisition (DPSD) sys...

For many years radiation thermometers have been used to make non-contact temperature measurements of hot objects, particularly in industrial situations such as reformer furnaces, steel reheat furnaces, and ceramics kilns. They occupy an important niche in temperature measurement since any other type of thermometer would have very slim chances of surviving in these and other such hostile environ...

conclusions although the aforementioned challenges must still be addressed, the potential of wjmscs in skin regenerative clinical treatments is promising. results similar to bone marrow mscs, wjmscs express major histocompatibility complex (mhc) class i molecules. evidence acquisition according to research conducted by various researchers, wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells (wjmscs) have se...

A generalized semi-Markov process provides a stochastic process model for a discrete-event simulation. This representation is particularly useful for non-Markovian systems where it is nontrivial to obtain recurrence properties of the underlying stochastic processes. We develop ‘geometric trials” arguments which can be used to obtain results on recurrence and regeneration in this setting. Such p...

Objectives The purpose of this study was to present a case of regenerative endodontic procedure. Case The maxillary 1st premolar of a 9-year-old patient was diagnosed as necrotic. Since the tooth was immature, we decided to treat this tooth with regenerative endodontic procedure. After disinfection of the canal, bleeding was induced by lacerating the peri-apical tissues ...
