the aim of study was to investigate and compare the concentric torque of quadriceps and hamstring muscles and timed-walking test in two groups. thus, one group of healthy subjects and one group of patients with low grade of tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (oa) were selected. concentric torque of quadriceps and hamstring were measured in both groups. besides, pain measurement, timed-walking test, ra...

Early identification of nonpregnant dairy cows post breeding can improve reproductive efficiency and pregnancy rate by decreasing the interval between AI services and increasing AI service rate. Thus, new technologies to identify nonpregnant dairy cows early after artificial insemination (AI) may play a key role in systematic management strategies to improve reproductive efficiency and profitab...

We consider the problems of efficiently diagnosing (and predicting) what did will) happen after a given sequence observations execution partially observable one-clock timed automaton. This is made difficult by facts that automata are infinite-state systems, and they can in general not be determinized. introduce markings as formalism to keep track evolution set reachable configurations over time...

The objective was to determine the effect of sequence of insemination after simultaneous thawing of multiple 0.5 mL semen straws on conception rate in suckled multiparous Nelore cows. The effect of this thawing procedure on in vitro sperm characteristics was also evaluated. All cows (N = 944) received the same timed AI protocol. Ten straws (0.5 mL) of frozen semen from the same batch were simul...
