BACKGROUND Recently, it was reported that the application of a static magnetic field by placing a strong permanent magnet over the scalp for 10 min led to an inhibition of motor cortex excitability for at least 6 min after removing the magnet. When placing the magnet over the somatosensory cortex, a similar inhibitory after effect could be observed as well. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to replicate ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between urinary incontinence (UI) and low back pain (LBP) discomfort and disability, static balance, and demographic factors. METHODS A total of 348 women aged 20-80 years were included in this cross-sectional study. The general characteristics of the subjects and the main outcome (UI condition, LBP discomfort, LBP disability, and...

We investigated the effect of hemodynamic shear forces on the expression of adhesive molecules, E-selectin, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) exposed to laminar (8 dynes/cm2) or turbulent shear stress (8.6 dynes/cm2 average), or to a static condition. Laminar flow induced a significant time-dependent increase in the surface expressi...

Optimization of the sectional wing in ground effect (WIG) has been studied using ahigh order numerical procedure and response surface method (RSM). Initially, the effects of the ground clearance, angle of attack, thickness, and camber of wing have been investigated by a high-resolutionscheme, which is highlystrong and accurate. In the numerical simulation, Normalized Variable Diagram (NVD) sche...

The goal of this article is to study compact quasi-Einstein manifolds with boundary. We provide boundary estimates for similar previous results obtained static and V-static spaces. In addition, we show that connected satisfying a suitable pinching condition must be isometric, up scaling, the standard hemisphere S + n $\mathbb {S}_{+}^{n}$ .

In the presented paper, an attempt has been made to first find permeability of Euphorbia tortilis cactus (ETC) concrete by water method and infiltration method. After that, flexural strength ETC RC beam wrapped with AFRP kelvar 149 is carried out a 2-point load test. This research aimed develop more durable, flexural, sustainable under static load. Based on state-of-the-art information availabl...
