Objectives: To investigate the long-term efficacy of lateral glide mobilisation for patients with chronic Cervicobrachial Pain (CP). Methods: A randomised controlled trial which involved ninetynine participants with chronic CP. Participants were randomised to receive either the lateral glide with self-management (n = 49) or self-management alone (n = 50). Four assessments were made (at baseline...

This paper looks for an interpretation of the phonetic factors causing consonant lenition and elision to occur through an analysis of intervocalic [j] in Majorcan, a dialect of Catalan spoken in the Mediterranean island of Majorca. Articulatory and acoustic data for several Majorcan Catalan speakers still producing the palatal glide in all word positions and segmental environments show that the...

The increasing rate of mortality ensued from breast cancer has encouraged research into safer and efficient therapy. The human Estrogen receptor α has been implicated in the majority of reported breast cancer cases. Molecular docking employing Glide, Schrodinger suite 2015, was used to study the binding affinities of small molecules from the Artocarpus species after their drug-like properties w...

Characters and properties of dislocations in ice are thoroughly reviewed on the basis of the knowledge hitherto obtained by the X-ray topographic method as well as recently found dynamical behavior. Extremely low energy of the faults on the basal plane found by the method leads us to conclude that all of the dislocations in ice should be extended as wide as several tens to one hundred nano-mete...

Spectral contrast effects may help "normalize" the incoming sound and produce perceptual constancy in the face of the variable acoustics produced by different rooms, talkers, and backgrounds. Recent studies have concentrated on the after-effects produced by the long-term average power spectrum. The present study examined contrast effects based on spectral motion, analogous to visual-motion afte...

Perceived continuity was studied by varying the direction (steady-state, upward glide, or downward glide), the frequency separation, and the slope of two sinusoidal tones separated by a louder burst of white noise. When the two tones had different directions, continuity was perceived according to a frequency-proximity principle (frequency-interpolation effect). On the other hand, when the tones...

The promise of the grid is that it will enable public access and sharing of immense amounts of computational and data resources among a large number of individuals and institutions. However, the current grid solutions make several limiting assumptions that curtail their widespread adoption in the emerging decentralized, resource constrained, embedded, autonomic, and mobile (DREAM) environments:...

The distributions of polar dislocations appearing in surface and volume deformation zones of indentations on …111†Cd, … 1 1 1†Te and …110† surfaces of CdTe bulk crystals are studied. Distinct CL contrast properties proved in CdTe for A(g)and B(g)-type dislocations are utilised to recognise Cd(g) and Te(g) dislocation segments in the deformation-induced defect configurations. The microscopic spa...

A perceptual experiment concerning South Swedish word accents (accent I, accent II) is described. By means of editing and resynthesis techniques the F0 pattern of a test word in a phrase context has been systematically manipulated: initial rise (glide vs. jump) and final concatenation (6 timing degrees of the accentual fall). The results indicate that both a gliding rise and a late fall seem ne...

The paper presents automatic control of an aircraft in the longitudinal channel during landing. There are two crucial components system presented paper: a vision and landing system. processes pictures dedicated on-ground signs which appear to on-board video camera determine glide path. Image processing algorithms used by were implemented into embedded tested under laboratory conditions accordin...
