BACKGROUND While the application of compressive joint loads and thigh muscle activity are associated with anterior tibial translation in vitro, less is known during early load acceptance in vivo. We investigated the effects of increasing axial loads on anterior tibial translation and thigh muscle activity in healthy knees during transition from non-weight bearing to early weight bearing. METH...

BACKGROUND Congenital transmission is a major source of new Trypanosoma cruzi infections, and as vector and blood bank control continue to improve, the proportion due to congenital infection will grow. A major unanswered question is why reported transmission rates from T. cruzi-infected mothers vary so widely among study populations. Women with high parasite loads during pregnancy are more like...

BACKGROUND The repetitive load to which the adolescent athlete's body is exposed during training and competition affects bone growth. In previous studies, abnormalities of the spine and extremities of adolescent athletes have been described on radiographs and this also applies to the hip. The cam deformity of the hip is an extension of the physeal plate and develops during the adolescent athlet...

in this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. inducedseismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. according to api, seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...

Abstract Nowadays the waste rubber problems are concerned due to environmental issues, storage, and recycling difficulty. However, base equipment has been widely used protect structures for vibrations - that generated by structure or induced from vicinity area bedrock into notable capability of absorbing energy. In this study, repeated-loading behaviour Sand Rubber Mixture (SRM) investigated re...

This paper aimed to investigate the cornering characteristics of a Regional Haul Steer II, RHS 315/80 R22.5 truck tire traveling on dry, hard surface using Finite element analysis (FEA). research was carried out commercial Element software and Pam-Crash in an Explicit Environment. A finite model developed apply terrain condition. The concentrated loads boundary conditions for rim wheel were app...

this paper deals with the solution of a column with balcony loads. it is intended to determine the expressions for deflections and bending moments of the sections of a column under the action of transmitted loads from a balcony loaded at its free end by a force «p» and rigidly connected to the column somewhere between its ends. the action of this load on the column is equivalent to that of the ...

menorrhagia is one of the most common gynecological problem and leading causes of poor quality of life and iron deficiency anemia in women of reproductive age. research in gynecological field relies heavily on repeated measure designs. repeated measure studies are helpful in understanding how factors of interest change over time. our goal is to apply statistical methods which are appropriate fo...
