PURPOSE THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY INCLUDE: (1) Determination of the attenuation of strike acceleration that Tae Kwon Do sparring safety pads provide from kicks from Olympic style TKD fighters, (2) The sex and weight differentiation in acceleration achieved within the thorax model with the roundhouse kicks. METHODS This prospective, observational study utilized 15 Olympic style fighters fro...

Introduction: Tobacco use poses a serious threat to global health. The tobacco epidemic is spreading in low- and middle-income countries, where the tobacco industries mainly target young people and women. Objective: This study aims to determine the predictors of tobacco use based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in female high school students. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectiona...

Low pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) is considered a risk factor for Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and is influenced by psychological variables. Objectives To correlate deep pain sensitivity of masticatory muscles with prosthetic factors and Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in completely edentulous subjects. Material and Methods A total of 29 complete denture wearers were recruited...

In all fields and branches of sciences especially statistics, the correlation coefficient is one most often used statistical measures. This study has been carried out for comparing performances Pearson (), Spearman's Rank Kendall’s Tau () coefficients under three sample sizes based on data quantitative variables cotton. Descriptive statistics showed presence genetic variability cotton studied t...

We present a brief survey of results on relations between the Kolmogorov complexity of infinite strings and several measures of information content (dimensions) known from dimension theory, information theory or fractal geometry. Special emphasis is laid on bounds on the complexity of strings in constructively given subsets of the Cantor space. Finally, we compare the Kolmogorov complexity to t...

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of anthropometric and body composition parameters in the prediction of body fat percentage and lipid profile in schoolchildren. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 209 schoolchildren aged between seven and nine years old. The following variables were evaluated: weight, height, body mass index, percentage of body fat, arm and waist circumferences, conicity ind...

PURPOSES To describe the process of gait initiation of pregnant women and to compare the behavior of the pressure center in the three trimesters of pregnancy. METHODS Fifty-seven low-risk pregnant women were evaluated, aged 18 to 35 years, selected for convenience location during the three trimesters of pregnancy. The women were divided into three groups of 19 subjects each, according to gest...

The utility of a Kolmogorov complexity method in combinatorial theory is demonstrated by several examples.

We study partitions of Fra¨ıssé limits of classes of finite relational structures where the partitions are encoded by infinite binary strings which are random in the sense of Kolmogorov-Chaitin.
