UNLABELLED Serious stretching in many sports involves discomfort and is often an early ceiling on improvements. PURPOSE To continue investigation of the use of vibration to enhance acute range of motion while assessing the influence of vibration and stretching on pressure-to-pain threshold perception. METHODS Ten young male gymnasts were assessed for split range of motion. One side split wa...

A traffic engineering problem consists of setting up paths between the edge nodes of the network to meet traffic demands while optimizing the network performance. It is known that total traffic throughput in a network, hence the resource utilization, can be maximized if the traffic demand is split over multiple paths. However, the problem formulation and practical algorithms, which calculate th...

OBJECTIVE To assess plantarflexion moment and hip joint moment after-effects following walking on a split-belt treadmill in healthy individuals and individuals post-stroke. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Ten healthy individuals (mean age 57.6 years (standard deviation; SD 17.2)) and twenty individuals post-stroke (mean age 49.3 years (SD 13.2)). METHODS Participants walked on an i...

Introduction: Computed Tomography (CT) urography is more accurate in detection of renal masses, urinary tract tumors, inflammatory lesion, calculi and other causes obstruction compared with intravenous urography. The standard single bolus MDCT Urography protocol comprises three to four phases, consists non-contrast, corticomedullary, nephrographic excretory phases. A major disadvantage a high r...

Transmission over wireless ad hoc networks is a challenging problem, because the wireless channel is characterized by limited bandwidth, multihop connectivity, mobility of nodes, and dynamically varying network topology. Current unipath routing protocols result in performance degradation in mobile networks due to unreliability of the wireless infrastructure and mobility of nodes. Multipath rout...

Gaussian split Ewald (GSE) is a versatile Ewald mesh method that is fast and accurate when used with both real-space and k-space Poisson solvers. While real-space methods are known to be asymptotically superior to k-space methods in terms of both computational cost and parallelization efficiency, k-space methods such as smooth particle-mesh Ewald (SPME) have thus far remained dominant because t...

Process migration, or application mobility as we call it, is the act of moving a process or an application between hosts during its execution. It enhances load management, fault resilience, and data access locality. Regardless of its impressive potential, it can’t be considered a commercial success due to its currently limited deployment. A reason for the failure is the complexity process migra...

Recent research shows that the occupancy of the coherence controllers is a major performance bottleneck for distributed cache coherent shared memory multiprocessors. In this paper we study three approaches to alleviating this problem in hardwired coherence controllers, namely, multiple protocol engines, pipelined protocol engines, and split request-response streams. Split request-response strea...

A tactical ad hoc network is usually divided into several subnets by Code Division Multiple Access with frequency hopping sequences. In practice, the number of subnets needed in common tactical task is much lower than the theoretical networking capacity, which causes serious code resource waste. To make full use of idle code resources, we present a single-transceiver multi-channel routing proto...
