Purpose: The present study investigated the most appropriate footprint index and its related parameters for the diagnosis of flatfoot, especially in cases with mild deformity. Methods: In total, 148 footprints were recorded from 77 young women with flatfoot. Footprints were classified into three groups of mild, moderate, and sever. Footprint indexes included Sztriter-Godunov (KY), Clarke’s Ang...

abstract background and aim: the intolerance of uncertainty model was initially developed as an explanation for worry within the context of generalized anxiety disorder. however, recent research has identified intolerance of uncertainty (iu) as a transdiagnostic maintaining factor across the anxiety disorders. the aim of the present study was to compare the intolerance of uncertainty in patient...

This work presents a strategy for optimizing the production process of ethanol via integrated gasification and syngas fermentation, conversion platform growing interest its contribution to carbon recycling. The objective functions (minimum selling price (MESP), energy efficiency, footprint) were evaluated combinations different input variables in models biomass gasification, from syngas, distil...

eco village design is a new field of knowledge still under development. it will be the physical manifestation of the unfolding of the ecovillage dream held by so many. it is generally agreed that concept of sustainability should play an increasing role in future urban development world-wide. in order to ensure ecological sustainability, cities around the world have to decrease their environment...

This study evaluates the performance of three control systems, namely root locus method, type-1 Mamdani fuzzy logic system (FLS), and interval type-2 FLS, in noise-free noisy ball beam systems. The main contribution this is enabling improved design implementation systems real-world applications by offering a comprehensive understanding each system's performance. methodology involves conducting ...

Over the last decade footprint feature extraction has been actively researched for footprint recognition. This paper provides an up-to-date review of major human footprint recognition research. In Earlier sections, we have presented an overview of footprint recognition and its applications. In later sections, literature review of the most recent footprint recognition technique is presented. The...

Nitrogen dioxide vertical column density (NO2 VCD) measurements via satellite are compared with a finescale regional chemistry transport model, using a new approach that considers varying satellite footprint sizes. Spaceborne NO2 VCD measurement has been used as a proxy for surface nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission, especially for anthropogenic urban emission, so accurate comparison of satellite an...

intolerance of uncertainty (iu) is increasingly conceptualized as a transdiagnostic factor underlying anxiety disorders and depression. current understanding of the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and specific obsessive compulsive symptom domains remains limited. the purpose of the present study was to explore the prevalence of obsessive compulsive beliefs and intolerance of unc...

In this paper we develop a methodology based on ballistics to estimate the landing footprint associated with the powered terminal descent phase of a Mars soft landing. The analysis is based on an idealized two-impulse thrust maneuver and leads to an analytical expression for the elliptical boundary of the landing footprint. Our goal was to develop a method (with low computational overhead) to e...
