Int J Exerc Sci 3(4) : 214-224, 2010. This study examined the effects of single set dynamic and static stretching on vertical jump height and hip and knee range of motion in a sample of college age recreational males. Forty-two healthy, physically active males (aged 18-24) voluntarily participated in this investigation and were randomly assigned to one of three groups (1 set of 20 seconds dynam...

stretching is an ancient method of treating soft tissue structures amongst the historical cultures. this method, in addition to other manual techniques such as, massage and manipulation has been taught in ancient medicine. nowadays, a wide range of studies have been performed to reveal the effects of this manual method on different muscle groups in patients, as well as healthy athlete subjects....

The anisotropic perfectly matched layer (PML) defines a continuous vector field outside a rectangle domain and performs the complex coordinate stretching along the direction of the vector field. In this paper we propose a new way of constructing the vector field which allows us to prove the exponential decay of the stretched Green function without the constraint on the thickness of the PML laye...

This paper considers the flow and heat transfer in a non-Newtonian power-law liquid film over a horizontal unsteady stretching sheet. The fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity are assumed to vary with temperature, whereas the Prandtl number is assumed to be constant. The transformed time dependent conservation laws are solved numerically. The velocity, temperature and thickness of the film, ...

Poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilanes), composed of alternating ferrocene and dimethylsilane units in their main chain and featuring a thiol end group, were self-assembled to redox-active monolayers on gold. Electrochemical atomic force microscopy was employed to study the morphology of the monolayers as a function of the applied potential in situ. Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and spectrosco...

PURPOSE To investigate the level of inaccuracy of retinal thickness measurements in tilted and axially stretched optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. METHODS A consecutive series of 50 eyes of 50 patients with age-related macular degeneration were included in this study, and Cirrus HD-OCT images through the foveal center were used for the analysis. The foveal thickness was measured in t...
