objectives: the purpose of current study was to compare the effect of aging on balance in different sensory conditions. methods & materials: in this cross sectional study we compared 20 healthy youth (with age 22.75±2.29) and 20 healthy older adults (with age 65.1±4.16) in single leg standing in different sensory conditions. sensory conditions were open eye/ hard surface (oehs), closed eye/ har...

This paper presents a mixed deterministic model for coreference resolution in the CoNLL-2012 shared task. We separate the two main stages of our model, mention detection and coreference resolution, into several sub-tasks which are solved by machine learning method and deterministic rules based on multi-filters, such as lexical, syntactic, semantic, gender and number information. We participate ...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of weblog task assessment on iranian efl learners’ reading ability. to this purpose, a group of 30 english language students (both male and female) in rozaneh language institute in najafabad were selected based on their performance on the opt. the researchers tried to select a homogeneous sample in terms of age factor and proficiency level...

The purpose of this study was to compare the magnitude of knee kinematic coupling between genders and among open- and closed-chain tasks. A secondary purpose was to compare the consistency of knee kinematic coupling between genders and among open- and closed-chain tasks. Vector-coding methods were used to quantify coupling in the sagittal and transverse planes of the knee between full extension...

Background & Aims: This study was performed to compare the effects of open and closed chain terminal knee extension exercises on onset latency of vastus medialis obliques (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL), pain and function in subjects diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Methods: In a pretest and posttest 5-week intervention study, 26 subjects diagnosed with PFPS and 13 healthy su...

framed in a cognitive approach to task-supported l2 vocabulary learning, the present study used a pedagogical approach to investigate the relative effectiveness of tasks with different involvement loads on the vocabulary knowledge of iranian efl learners. the goal was to investigate the way that the construct of involvement load is related to the input hypothesis (krashen, 1985) and the output ...
