A nationwide epidemiological study included 3516 primary major lower limb amputations in diabetic patients, during the period 1982 to 1992. On this well defined diabetic amputee population the relative mortality (Standard Mortality Ratio, SMR) has been analysed. The mortality rate was found to be 8 times the expected during the first year following amputation. The relative mortality is higher f...

The purpose of this paper was to determine the power produced by the lower limbs in the take-off phase in drop jumps (DJ) and the correlation between the power and load measured by dropping height after take-off. The research group (N = 17) contained students practicing football, volleyball, basketball, athletics, high jump, swimming and fencing. The individual characteristics 'power-load' of t...

‎In this short note‎, ‎we present some inequalities for relative operator entropy which are generalizations of some results obtained by Zou [Operator inequalities associated with Tsallis relative operator entropy‎, ‎{em Math‎. ‎Inequal‎. ‎Appl.}‎ ‎{18} (2015)‎, ‎no‎. ‎2‎, ‎401--406]‎. ‎Meanwhile‎, ‎we also show some new lower and upper bounds for relative operator entropy and Tsallis relative o...

Visual performance is better in the lower visual hemifield than in the upper field for many classes of stimuli. The origin of this difference is unclear. One theory associates it with finer-grained attention in the lower field, an idea consistent with a change in relative efficacy with task difficulty. The first experiment in this study confirmed a lower hemifield advantage for discriminating a...
