This study aimed to investigate the relationship between race horse breed and the frequency of limb injuries through the time of training and racing. The study population consisted of 4042 Thoroughbred and 2553 Arabian horses raced at Warsaw race Track, from 2000 to 2008. Among these horses, 94 Thoroughbreds and 32 Arabians had different limb injuries. Based on the achieved results, it is possi...

purpose many factors influence athletes’ performance including anthropometric, physiological and environmental parameters. high altitude is characterized by adverse environmental conditions that are not found at sea level. we investigated the influence of some anthropometric and physiological factors on performance in the context of the mount cameroon race of hope. methods age, height, weight, ...

The idea of replacing a divergence constraint by a divergence boundary condition is investigated. The connections between the formulations are considered in detail. It is shown that the most common methods of using divergence boundary conditions do not always work properly. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalence of the formulations are given. ∗This work was supported by the Uni...

introduction: rotary nickel-titanium (niti) instruments are thought to allow shaping of narrow, curved root canals more efficiently and more effectively than stainless steel hand instruments. however, the continued search for even more effective and safer instruments has resulted in new rotary systems being introduced on a regular basis. the aim of this study was to compare shaping parameters o...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare centering ability and dentin removal of three rotary systems in curved root canals of extracted teeth. materials and methods: sixty root canals of mandibular first molars with curvatures ranging between 25-35 o were divided into three groups of 20 teeth each. based on pre-instrumentation radiographs that assessed the angle and the radius of can...

purpose: to study the distribution of ocular higher-order aberrations (hoas) and mesopic pupil size in individuals screened for refractive surgery. methods: ocular hoas and mesopic pupil size were studied in 2458 eyes of 1240 patients with myopia, simple myopic astigmatism and compound myopic astigmatism and 215 eyes of 110 patients with hyperopia, simple hyperopic astigmatism and compound hype...

conclusions maximal and supra-maximal races induce a significant increase in lipid peroxidation and cause non-negligible inflammation and muscle damage. these effects were relatively related to the physical exercise type and the sportive specialty. results a significant increase in malondialdehyde (mda) concentrations was observed in ss and mdr after the vameval test and in ldr after the limite...

This study examined the effects of manipulating the size of groups of male student negotiators and their ability to communicate with one another in a game in which one player held veto power (i.e., had to be included in any winning coalition). The predictions of three models, the core, the value, and the weighted probability model, were tested. The game, in which the veto player could form a wi...
