introduction: flat foot is one of the most common disorders which not only influences the performance of the foot, but also affects the alignments of the ankle, knee and hip joints. the performance of flat arched differs from that of normal subjects during walking. however, there is not enough information in the literature regarding the difference between standing stability. moreover, the influ...

We compute the spectrum of tensor perturbations in warm inflation. find that spectrum, besides standard component $\ensuremath{\propto}{H}^{2}/{M}_{P}^{2}$ associated to amplification vacuum fluctuations, acquires a $\ensuremath{\propto}{\ensuremath{\ell}}_{\mathrm{mfp}}{T}^{5}/{M}_{P}^{4}$, where ${\ensuremath{\ell}}_{\mathrm{mfp}}$ and $T$ are, respectively, mean free path temperature thermal...

BACKGROUND Use of alkaline peroxide denture cleanser with different temperature of water could cause a change in surface hardness of the acrylic denture and also has a bleaching effect. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of increased water content during thermal cycling of hot water-treated acrylic on the surface hardness of acrylic denture base when compared to warm water tre...

We present a characterization of the sensitivity TES X-ray micro-calorimeters to environmental conditions under frequency-domain multiplexing (FDM) readout. In FDM scheme, each in readout chain is series with LC band-pass filter and AC biased an independent carrier at MHz range. Using arrays, cold circuitry warm electronics fabricated SRON SQUIDs produced VTT Finland, we characterize detectors ...

Abstract Gassing, outbursts of high-rate gas flows through the taphole, is a phenomenon that sometimes occurs during tapping silicon furnaces. In addition to being an HSE challenge, this might also affect tapping, while warm harm equipment in area. The pressure above metal bath, influencing gassing, affected by permeability, and flow charge materials furnace. Pressure drop permeability have bee...

objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of flat foot in a population of 7-12 year old students and to investigate the relationship between flat foot and age and sex. methods: in this cross-sectional study, a total of 945 students (460 girls and 485 boys) were examined. the presence of flatfoot and the degree of its severity according to tachdjian's system of gradi...

• Ovine footrot is a contagious disease with important economic and welfare impacts. Typical signs are lameness, interdigital inflammation underrunning of the horn. Transmission Dichelobacter nodosus favoured by warm, wet environments. aprV2/aprB2 genes targets for PCR diagnosis virulent vs. benign strains. Control measures culling, footbathing, vaccination antimicrobial treatment. Footrot foot...
