There is anecdotal evidence that bone strains may increase to the point that bone becomes susceptible to rapid failure when muscles become fatigued. To determine whether neuromuscular response could be a factor in accelerating bone failure, we tested the hypothesis that muscle fatigue causes a significant increase in peak principal and shear strains in bone. Ten adult foxhounds were subjected t...

We report room temperature lasing in ZnO inverse opal photonic crystals in the near-ultraviolet (UV) frequency range. We observe random lasing due to disorder in the structures when the photonic pseudogaps are located away from the ZnO gain spectrum. Tuning the first ŴL-pseudogap to the gain peak leads to a five-fold reduction in lasing threshold and a frequency shift of the lasing modes due to...

MICE--multiple-peak identification, characterization, and estimation--is a procedure for estimating a lower bound of the number of frequency peaks and for estimating the frequency peak parameters. The leading application is protein structure determination using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. NMR frequency data are multiple-peak data, where each frequency peak corresponds to two c...

background and aim: motor vehicle accidents are common cause of mortality, morbidity and disability. human factors are principle cause for frequency of motor vehicle accident. in most studies, 52-40% lower limb injuries are trauma from a motorcycle accident. these accidents cause high financial cost and harm for society. materials and methods: in this study, patients with lower limb injuries re...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of milking frequency (three times daily vs. two times daily) on the lactation curve shape, partial and 305-d lactation performance in holstein dairy cows in iran. data from february 2000 to december 2012 comprising 217345 lactations on 141364 cows distributed in 324 herds collected by the animal breeding center of iran were used. the mean milk...

In wideband systems that decorrelate in time and frequency, capacity can be reached in the limit of infinite bandwidth by using impulsive frequency-shift keying with vanishingly small duty cycle. The richness of the codewords is then created through the large bandwidth. We show that frequencyshift keying with small duty cycle, using traditional random coding arguments, can achieve rates close t...

We report a new absolute frequency measurement of the Cs 6s-8s two-photon transition measured using frequency comb spectroscopy. The fractional frequency uncertainty is 5x10(-11), a factor of 6 better than previous results. The comb is derived from a stabilized picosecond laser and referenced to an octave-spanning femtosecond frequency comb. The relative merits of picosecond-based frequency com...

obtaining a seismic section with high temporal and spatial resolution was always one of the goals of seismic data processors and interpreters. accurate estimation of the thicknesses of thin beds is an important tool in this regard. the basic problem is that the wavelength of the signal must be similar in dimention to that of the bed thinness. if it is much longer than the bed thinness, the dete...
