The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12-week rehabilitation program on body composition, shoulder pain, and isokinetic internal/external torques of pitchers with impingement syndrome. A total of 30 pitchers were divided into 2 groups: experimental group (EG, n = 16) and control group (CG, n= 14). The rehabilitation program consisted of physical therapy, warm-up, work-out, a...

silver nanowires were synthesized by solvothermal method through reducing silver nitrate (agno3) with ethylene glycol (eg) in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp). in order to prevent the agglomeration of ag+ in the initial ag seeds formation, sodium chloride (nacl) was added into the solution to form agcl colloids. by dissolving agcl in the late stages, ag+ ions were released into the so...

Road reserves have a rich history of human impacts, and are important social, economic and ecological component of agricultural landscapes in Australia. Road verge, or roadside environments are gaining greater recognition for their role in nature conservation. In Australia, road reserves are areas of public land retained for the development of future roads. Many road reserves were originally su...

In this study, the seismic interaction of surface foundations and underground cavities was investigated. For this purpose, a parametric study of geometric dimensions of the foundation and cavity, their location, and the effect of the interaction between surface foundations and underground cavities was evaluated. The variable parameters include the ratio of the overburden height to the foundatio...

Rural highway is the foundation of highway network construction and the important bridge for balancing urban and rural harmonious development. Rural highway has the basic, pilot and driving function to new rural construction. This paper took a sampling survey on 173 villages in Hebei Province. According to the 687 questionnaires, this paper set up an evaluation system of the rural highway const...

Fatal high-speed head-on collisions often occur in limited spaces on two-lane roads without median strips. While the installation of such strips is permitted under the Road Construction Ordinance, their provision to date has been limited due to the high associated costs. Wire rope guardrail systems, which can be seen as an alternative to median strips, involve the use of thin posts, have a buff...

Inheritance of plant height, pod length, pod width, seed length and seed width was studied in a set of crosses grown during rabi 2007-08. F2 phenotypic data for plant height was a good fit to a phenotypic ratio of 1:4:6:4:1 and 1:2:1 respectively in two crosses studied indicating the involvement of more than two genes. Segregation of pod length in F2 generation of the cross ICGV 00350 x K 1340,...

The GUT value of Weinberg’s angle is also the value that minimises the total square matrix elements of Z decay, independently of any GUT consideration, and thus the one that maximises the neutrino branching ratio against total width. We review the proof of this result and some related facts. From any textbook (eg [1]), the amplitude for decay of Z into a fermion pair, at leading order, is Γ(Z →...
