objective: effect of peppermint on exercise performance was previously investigated but equivocal findings exist. this study aimed to investigate the effects of peppermint ingestion on the physiological parameters and exercise performance after 5 min and 1 h. materials and methods: thirty healthy male university students were randomly divided into experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. ...

This work reports on experiments that were performed with a freely vibrating cylinder exposed to currents and placed near a plane boundary parallel to the cylinder axis. It is observed that the proximity of the boundary affects the vertical response of the cylinder in two ways: (i) for gaps between 0.75 and 2 diameters (D), the amplitude of oscillation is reduced; (ii) for gaps smaller than 0.7...

Wearable sensors for gait analysis are attracting wide interest. In this paper, a wearable ground reaction force (GRF) sensor system and its application to measure extrinsic gait variability are presented. To validate the GRF and centre of pressure (CoP) measurements of the sensor system and examine the effectiveness of the proposed method for gait analysis, we conducted an experimental study o...

Abstract In this paper, we study $$\varphi $$ φ -minimal surfaces in $$\mathbb {R}^3$$ R 3 when the function is invariant under a two-parametric group of translations. Particularly those which are complete graphs over domains {R}^...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to observe stress distribution and displacement patterns of the entire maxillary arch with regard to distalizing force vectors applied from interdental miniscrews. METHODS A standard three-dimensional finite element model was constructed to simulate the maxillary teeth, periodontal ligament, and alveolar process. The displacement of each tooth was calcu...
