A steadiness-improving intervention was used to determine the contribution of variability in motor unit discharge rate to the fluctuations in index finger acceleration and manual dexterity in older adults. Ten healthy and sedentary old adults (age 72.9 +/- 5.8 yr; 5 men) participated in the study involving abduction of the left index finger. Single motor unit activity was recorded in the first ...

River banks are exposed to bank erosion and destruction. One of the river engineering goals is to provide human life requirements and reduce river danger. So spreading extent of this phenomenon, whose risk and other important factors must be recognized. Using groins is one of the control ways that by accurate design and accurate performance, bank erosion control and field reclamation would be p...

Theoretically, the charge/ discharge cycle life of Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) is infinite. We use electrolysis solution and it difficult to directly measure capacity or reduction rate based on solution. conducted accelerated aging tests with repeated charge/discharge for 27 days in constant-temperature bath at 60 ℃ capacitance closely related The result showed that dropped by about ...

Background: Glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common inherited enzyme deficiency of red blood cells involving the enzyme pathway of hexose monophosphate. This study was conducted to examine the effect of vitamin E and folic acid on the improvement of acute hemolysis caused by the G6PD deficiency in patients referred to 17 Shahrivar Hospital, Rasht. Materials and M...

Among the structural and non-structural methods of flood control, rockfill dams are a kind of detention structures that increase travel time and reduce the maximum instantaneous flood discharge. Due to the rapid and automatic effect of these dams, flood reduction happens more quickly. In this research, the best arrangement of rockfill dams at Taleghan basin was determined based on the cost of r...

BACKGROUND Despite evidence-based national guidelines for optimal treatment of heart failure (HF), the quality of care remains inadequate. We sought to evaluate the effect of a national hospital-based initiative on quality of care in patients hospitalized with HF. METHODS Two hundred fifty-nine US hospitals participating in the Organized Program to Initiate Lifesaving Treatment in Hospitalize...

As interest in cost reduction and early discharge has grown, due to increased medical costs and the introduction of the Diagnosis-Related Group system, the concept of a fast-track program has emerged in an effort to reduce the duration of hospital stays. Fast-track discharge, which is also known as “enhanced recovery after surgery,” can easily be misunderstood as simply meaning early oral intak...

The article presents a simulation model for estimating the economic effect of energy storage systems providing balancing electricity to Transmission System Operator in market segment. simulates serial charge and discharge (i.e., sequential provision unloading loading services). Peculiarities considering cost purchase, installation, maintenance with reduction both guaranteed service life resourc...

Electro Static Discharge (ESD) analysis is of vital importance during the design of large-scale integrated circuits, since it gives insight in how well the interconnect can handle unintended peak charges. Due to the increasing amount of interconnect and metal layers, ESD analysis may become very time consuming or even unfeasible. We propose an algorithm for the reduction of large resistor netwo...
