Based on the morphological characteristics of loess hilly and gully areas, a simple and effective method for extracting loess shoulder-lines based on object-based image analysis is proposed. A case study is conducted in the northern Shaanxi Loess Plateau of China and the digital elevation model with a grid size of 5 m is applied as original data in this research. In order to get clear edge of D...

The objective was to evaluate different levels of crambe cake (CC) protein (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 g/kg DM) as a replacement for soybean meal in diets lambs their effect on performance, carcass traits meat quality. Forty not castrated crossbred male lambs, weighing 20 ± 3.45 kg, were settled completely randomized design with eight replicates per treatment. Final body weight (BW), dry matter ...

background: rounded shoulder posture is a common abnormal posture in upper quarter. kinesiotape is a new intervention that recently used in rehabilitation. there are no studies have examined the effect of kinesiotape on rounded shoulder posture. therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of scapular kinesiotaping and pectoralis minor stretching exercise on forward shoulder ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of medicine ball training (MBT) on throwing velocity, throwing precision, and isokinetic strength of shoulder rotators in competitive female handball players. Twenty-eight players (mean ± SD; age: 20.8 ± 3.3 years, height: 170.5 ± 5.6 cm, body mass: 65.2 ± 8.0 kg) were randomly assigned to an MBT group (TG; n = 15) and a control gr...

in magnetic abrasive finishing (maf), abrasive grains as a tool move on surface and can removechip from surface of work piece. in this study al 6061 tube was considered as the work piece andthe effect of finishing parameters such as gap distance between tube and poles, rotational speed oftube, abrasive ration and finishing time on surface roughness was investigated. the mixture offerromagnetic ...

The overarching goal of Bio 4342/W research over the past several years has been to understand a euchromatic region of the Drosophila virilis genome well enough to be able to distinguish this domain at the DNA level from the heterochromatic counterparts in its genetic relatives, such as Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly. The class will utilize the well-established genome of D. melan...

Forty-two shoulders in 37 patients with polyarthritis were treated with Neer total shoulder replacements and reviewed 12 to 66 months afterwards. There was good pain relief and improvement in function, but the range of movement was less than that seen after replacements for osteoarthritis; this may have been related to the fact that 34 shoulders had abnormal rotator cuff tendons. Although there...

Strairra were determined in a typical maridibiilar partial denture metal framework of the free-end saddle type. The overall strain patterirs were det,ermined using a brittle lacquer coating t,echriiqrie and loads were a.pplied vertically to positions on the saddles. The resulk from the coating study indicated the area of high strain were jrist anterior and posterior t,o t,he finishing lines. St...

This study compared surface roughness and gloss produced by different finishing/polishing procedures for two resin composites, Clearfil AP-X (AP-X) and Estelite Sigma (ES). A total of 70 composite discs (n=35 for each resin composite) were prepared and divided at random into seven finishing/polishing groups (n=5): glass-pressed control; using a super-fine-grit diamond bur (SF); using CompoMaste...

Objective: This study probes the clinical effectiveness and safety of a therapy of myofascial pain syndrome making use of both trigger point of myofascial pain and Baihui acupoint using clinical epidemiology, clinical research methodology and mathematical statistics analysis to further standardize its clinical effect for a better social benefit. Methods: We divided 150 patients with myofascial ...
