AIMS AND BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to determine the effects of two different types of nerve-sparing neck dissection on shoulder function. Even if the spinal accessory nerve is spared in functional neck dissection, some degree of shoulder syndrome may occur. The role of the cervical plexus in shoulder function and the effects of dissection of level 5 are emphasized. METHODS Twenty-si...

We present simulations and measurements with an optimized goniometer for determination of the scattering phase function of suspended particles. We applied the Monte Carlo method, using a radially layered cylindrical geometry and mismatched boundary conditions, in order to investigate the influence of reflections caused by the interfaces of the glass cuvette and the scatterer concentration on th...

The existing ground-based radio monitoring systems do not allow performing the functions and tasks of spectrum in a quality manner. Therefore, to improve efficiency for countries with large territory, such as Republic Kazakhstan, it is proposed use low-orbit small spacecrafts stations. analysis energy budget lines on basis electronic means territory carried out this work, showed possibility usi...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of tetanic faradic stimulation in an antagonist muscle (tibialis anterior) on agonist muscles (gastro-soleus). In addition, to show the effects of maintaining agonist muscle strength on antagonist spastic muscle group to improve gait parameters in children with spastic hemiplegia. METHODS We carried out the study at Pamukkale University, School of Physical...

A comparison between the absolute gonioreflectometric scales at the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) has been accomplished. Six different reflection standards were measured for their 0:45 spectral radiance factor between 250 and 1650 nm in 10 nm intervals. Also, the 0:d reflectance factor between 400 and 1600 nm in 100 nm intervals was ...
