[Purpose] The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) in obtaining the cross-sectional area of the lumbar multifidus muscles in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) at rest and during contractions facilitated by PNF patterns by ultrasound imaging. [Subjects] The subjects were 15 (4 males, 11 females) who had chronic LBP on one side for mor...

Amyloid-like peptide nanofibrils (PNFs) are abundant in nature providing rich bioactivities and playing both functional pathological roles. The structural features responsible for their unique are, however, still elusive. Supramolecular nanostructures notoriously challenging to optimize, as sequence changes affect self-assembly, fibril morphologies, biorecognition. Herein, the first optimizatio...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of stabilizing exercise using the PNF technique on standing balance in one-leg and double-leg stances. [Subjects and Methods] The present study recruited 34 healthy participants from a local university. The Participants performed four balance tests (double-leg stance with and without vision, one-leg stance with and without...

A prefix-free language is a prime if it cannot be decomposed into a concatenation of two prefix-free languages. We show that we can check in polynomial time if a language generated by a simple contextfree grammar is a prime. Our algorithm computes a canonical representation of a simple language, converting its arbitrary simple grammar into Prime Normal Form (PNF); a simple grammar is in PNF if ...
