BACKGROUND The current investigation examined the inter- and intra-tester reliability of knee joint angle measurements using a flexible Penny and Giles Biometric electrogoniometer. The clinical utility of electrogoniometry was also addressed. METHODS The first study examined the inter- and intra-tester reliability of measurements of knee joint angles in supine, sitting and standing in 35 heal...

Abstract Currently, a great deal of controversy exists regarding the real forces generated in drawbeads during sheet metal forming processes. The present work focuses on analysis uplift force. First, detailed literature review is carried out to analyse previous experimental procedures used measure forces. It found that setups do not perfectly replicate geometry industrial drawbeads. In order ob...

Abstract Determination of gene effects and combining abilities is a critical stage in maize hybrid breeding. In the present study, 20 S6 lines as female and three S6 inbred lines (K18, K19 and K1264/5-1) as tester were crossed and the resulting  test cross progenies were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008. During the growing period, several agronomi...
