Seiza is a Japanese traditional floor sitting style, sitting down with both legs set at about a 180 degree angle and both femurs on both lower legs. We examined the influence of the somatic dysesthesia and decrease in voluntary toe flexion strength (VTF) induced by Seiza on the center of pressure (COP) sway. Fifteen adults participated in this experiment. COP Sway was measured immediately after...

A virtual tour is a guided facilitated through Virtual Reality (VR) technology. The primary focus of this paper on Tours Facilities (VTF) within academic contexts. These VTFs employ VR as medium to provide immersive educational experiences facilities, such laboratories, industrial sites, and universities. Our study advances three hypotheses: firstly, that continuous variables distinguish VTFs; ...

A challenging task in urban or suburban agriculture is the sustainability of soil health when utilizing city wastewater, its dilutes, for growing crops. two-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate comparative vegetable transfer factors (VTF) four effluent-irrigated crops (brinjal, spinach, cauliflower, and lettuce) grown on six study sites (1 acre each), equally divided into two texture...

Factor Analysis (FA) is the study of variance within a group. Within-Subject Variance (WSV) affected by multiple features in context such as Experimental Design (ED) or Sampling (SD). The aim this to provide an empirical evaluation influence different aspects ED and SD on WSV FA terms model precision. results showed that precisions overall fit indices TLI CFI, functions VTF, STV, h2, their inte...

Clinical embryo vitrification evolved with the development of unique vitrification devices in the 21st century and with the misconception that ultra-rapid cooling in an "open" system (i.e., direct LN2 contact) was a necessity to optimize vitrification success. The dogma surrounding the importance of cooling rates led to unsafe practices subject to technical variation and to the creation of vitr...

As methods for analysis of biomolecular structure and dynamics using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) continue to advance, the resulting 3D structures, chemical shifts, and other NMR data are broadly impacting biology, chemistry, and medicine. Structure model assessment is a critical area of NMR methods development, and is an essential component of the process of making these struc...

Monte Carlo simulations are used to study ion and polymer chain dynamic properties in a simplified lattice model with only one species of mobile ions. The ions interact attractively with specific beads in the host chains, while polymer beads repel each other. Cross linking of chains by the ions reduces chain mobilities which in turn suppresses ionic diffusion. Diffusion constants for ions and c...

Suosuo grape (Vitis vinifer L) is traditionally used as a therapeutic agent for measles and hepatitis by the ethnic Uighurs. This work aimed to investigate the anti-HBV effect of total triterpene (VTT), total flavonoids (VTF) and total polysaccharides (VTP) from Suosuo grape, and their synergistic effects were also tested. The viral antigens of cellular secretion, HBsAg and HBeAg, were determin...

Simulation of Dynamic Response in Materials is to construct a virtual test facility (VTF) for computing the 3D response of various target materials under compressive, tensional, and shear loadings, including loadings generated by high explosives. (For information on shock-compression experiments, see the “Shock-compression science” sidebar.) Our objective is to design a software environment tha...
