the purpose of this study was to determine the intensity influence of perform one set half squat on vertical jump performance and muscle electrical activity in adolescent athletes. the subjects were 12 adolescent boys athletes. the subjects performed one set of dynamic half-squat using low and high intensities (li= low intensity with 40% 1rm, hi= high intensity with 80% 1rm), and a control (c) ...

This study aims at determining the critical seismic intensity at which cracks are expected to develop in a concrete arch dam. This intensity is referred to as crack initiation intensity. The crack initiation intensity measure implies that earthquakes with the intensity measure higher than this value are expected to induce cracks in the arch dam. This quantity is an indicator for seismic evaluat...

Speech intensity is one of the main prosodic cues, playing a role in most of the suprasegmental phenomena. Despite this, its contribution to the signalling of prosodic hierarchy is still relatively understudied, compared to the other cues, like duration or fundamental frequency. We present here an investigation on the role of intensity in prosodic boundary detection in four different languages,...

BACKGROUND Breast fibroadenomata (FAD) are the most common benign lesions in women. For palpable lesions, there are currently three standard treatment options: reassurance (with or without follow-up), vacuum-assisted mammotomy (VAM) or surgical excision. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation has been used in the treatment of FAD. The drawback of HIFU is its prolonged treatment durat...
