conclusions the study findings indicate that short-term exercises had no significant effect on the ratio of vmo to vl muscle fiber angles in patients with pfps. results there were no significant differences in the muscle strength and fiber angle of the vmo, vl oblique and longus muscles after training between the control and experimental groups (p > 0.05). patients and methods thirty-five subje...

In this work we present some results and applications concerning the recent theory of multi-scaling functions and multiwavelets. In particular, we present the theory in compact notation with the use of some types of recursive block matrices. This allows a exible schematization of the construction of semi-orthogonal multiwavelets. As in the scalar case, an eecient algorithm for the computation o...

Planetary gearboxes exhibit complicated dynamic responses which are more difficult to detect in vibration signals than fixed-axis gear trains because of the special gear transmission structures. Diverse advanced methods have been developed for this challenging task to reduce or avoid unscheduled breakdown and catastrophic accidents. It is feasible to make fault features distinct by using multiw...

In this study, the possibility of producing coal with less than 11% ash from tailings of flotation process was investigated. The effect of six flotation parameters: collector type, collector consumption, frother type, frother consumption, pulp density and mixing rate were studied on a sample from a tailing dam. A software based experimental design approach (DX7) was applied to determine and mod...

Large volumes of fingerprints are collected and stored every day in a wide range of applications, including forensics, access control etc. It is evident from the database of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) which contains more than 70 million finger prints. Compression of this database is very important because of this high Volume. The performance of existing image coding standards general...

Systematic design methods for multifilters and multiwavelets are presented. Explicit formulae are given for aliasing cimcellation in biorthogonal multifilter banks. The relationship with vector transforms over the real or finite fields is described.

Background and Aim: Oral bacteria can proliferate in the implant-abutment interface (IAI) and cause inflammation in the peri-implant tissues and adjacent bone. This study aimed to assess the effect of zirconia and titanium abutments on the microleakage of the IAI under oblique cyclic loading conditions. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, 12 implant-abutment assemblies with zirconia...
