The extents to which decreased muscle size or activation are responsible for the decrease in strength commonly observed with aging remain unclear. Our purpose was to compare muscle isometric strength [maximum voluntary contraction (MVC)], cross-sectional area (CSA), specific strength (MVC/CSA), and voluntary activation in the ankle dorsiflexor muscles of 24 young (32 +/- 1 yr) and 24 elderly (7...

OBJECTIVE The lack of race information for nonfatal motor vehicle crash injuries in the United States has limited the understanding of racial disparities in motor vehicle crashes (MVCs). In this article, we describe a pilot surveillance project in Nebraska that linked crash reports and driver's license records to investigate racial disparity among nonfatal MVC injuries. METHODS The project li...

The purpose of the present study was to determine the acute fatigue development in muscle mechanical properties and neuromuscular activity in response to handball match play. Male elite handball players (n = 10) were tested before and after a simulated handball match for maximal isometric strength [maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)] and rate of force development (RFD) with synchronous electro...

Muscle endurance measurement using a progressive workload method may reduce pain sensation in the subject. This study aimed to examine the relationships between force-time parameters during sustained static gripping as measured by maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) using either a progressive workload (PW) or a constant workload (CW). Sixteen subjects performed sustained static gripping with 7 ...

Maraviroc (MVC) is a CCR5 antagonist that inhibits HIV-1 entry by binding to the coreceptor and inducing structural alterations in the extracellular loops. In this study, we isolated MVC-resistant variants from an HIV-1 primary isolate that arose after 21 weeks of tissue culture passage in the presence of inhibitor. gp120 sequences from passage control and MVC-resistant cultures were cloned int...

Measuring the impact of network attack is an important issue in network science. In this paper, we study the impact of maximal vertex coverage (MVC) attack in large complex networks, where the attacker aims at deleting as many edges of the network as possible by attacking a small fraction of nodes. First, we present two metrics to measure the impact of MVC attack. To compute these metrics, we p...

Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern is a method that is used in development of applications those data is presented to the user by different methods. In this work, an approach to adapt MVC design pattern, which is usually used in application software and web applications, to use in embedded systems is described. First, the differences of embedded systems considering MVC design pattern ar...

page 11: existing text contains typing errors "The absence of significant differences in the s-EMG parameters observed during 30% MVC contractions in our was due to the partial activation of the MU pool induced at submaximal contraction level (30% MVC), and this is in line with the significant findings observed at 60% MVC: i.e. a contraction level at which the whole biceps brachii MU pool is re...

ex vivo virus infection of LCs as well as subsequent virus transmission when different R5 HIV strains, HIVAD8 and HIVJR-FL, were utilized for an additional six subjects (n1⁄43 for each strain, Figures 1 and 2). These data demonstrate that oral administration of MVC for at least 3 days is capable of fully protecting HIV infection of LCs within epithelial tissue. These experiments provide perhaps...
