BACKGROUND Incarceration has been associated with reduced physical activity. However, physical inactivity is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was therefore, to evaluate the incidence and relationship between the measures of physical fitness and the duration of incarceration in of inmates in Kano-Nigeria prisons. METHOD A cross-sectional study was done to ...

Objectives: Coping strategies are important following spinal cord injury (SCI). It is equally important to know the peculiar coping strategy used in a given population with a distinct cultural background. The aim of this study was to explore the peculiar coping strategies used by people with SCI in Kano.  Methods: The study was a qualitative interview approved by the research ethics commi...

The aim of this study is to identify the key factors as antecedents of visitor satisfaction for the design of a mobile app for museums. To our aim we use the Kano model that allows to categorize service attributes according to how they are perceived by customers and to estimate their impact on customer satisfaction. We collected qualitative data trough 300 questionnaires administered to tourist...

Increasing consideration has been given to Ergonomics in product design since the last several decades. Nowadays, more companies apply ergonomic aspects to their products to fulfill customer requirement and satisfaction of new products development. Customer requirement and satisfaction measurement can be achieved through various methods. This paper presents joining methods of Kano Model and Qua...

For every 1 ≤ i ≤ n, let Ti be a rooted star with root vi, where vi is not necessary to be its center. Then the union F = T1 ∪T2 ∪ . . .∪ Tn is called a rooted star forest with roots v1, v2, . . . , vn. Let P be a set of |F | points in the plane in general position containing n specified points p1, p2, . . . , pn, where |F | denotes the order of F . Then we show that there exists a bijection φ ...

We review the basic concepts, present state of theoretical models, and the future prospects for theory and observations of pulsating stellar atmospheres. Our emphasis is on radially pulsating cool stars, which dynamic atmospheres provide a general example for the differences with standard static model atmospheres.

With over two dozen exoplanet atmospheres observed today, the field of exoplanet atmospheres is solidly established. The highlights of exoplanet atmosphere studies include: detection of molecular spectral features; constraints on atmospheric vertical temperature structure; detection of day-night temperature gradients; and a new numerical approach to atmosphere temperature and abundance retrieva...

The video game heritage is being preserved especially on the Web: comments, screenshots, sounds, videos, etc. But one important element is missing: the environment in which we play (game atmosphere) is one of our strongest memories. This article describes an investigationbased method to record game atmospheres, the four atmospheres we are archiving (one bedroom, one living room, and two game ro...

We show that the atmospheric and magnetic height variations are coupled in all magnetohydrostatic (MHS) equilibria with gravity if any isolated weak evacuated flux tubes or hydrostatically connected non-force-free fields are present. In gas-dominated regimes, as in stellar photospheres, flux tubes expand with height to maintain pressure balance with the ambient giving a ‘magnetic canopy’ in the...
