BACKGROUND Loss of shoulder internal rotation (IR) range of motion (ROM) is prevalent in overhead athletes, but it can also be seen in nonathletic persons. A paucity of normative data exists, however, for shoulder IR ROM in positions other than supine, especially in nonathletic persons. The aim of this study was to determine shoulder IR ROM differences between the sidelying, semi-sidelying, and...

Abstract We examined the effect of word stress position on bilingual auditory cognate processing. Turkish–Dutch early bilinguals who are dominant in their L2 (Dutch) performed an lexical decision task Turkish or Dutch. While Dutch has variable stress, with a tendency for penultimate is mostly predictable and usually falls ultimate syllable. Our tasks included two-syllable cognates both language...

Content: Electromyography (EMG) is a recording of muscles electrical activity and is useful for mechanism study. In Exercise and Sport Science, mechanism of dominance and non-dominance limb activity is recently a focus area. Objective: The aim of this study is to observe the muscle electrical activity of soccer players’ dominant and non-dominant leg. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Dist...

In this paper authors describe the Curvelet representation of image (object) with dominant angular subbands in Curvelet domain and analyse about the energy distribution for each subbands at different angles. Curvelet transform is localized not only in position (the spatial domain) and scale (the frequency domain), but also in orientation. Here energy of dominant orientations (angles) in a given...

We investigated whether people are able to detect in a relatively automatic manner the dominant or submissive status of persons engaged in social interactions. We used a nonaffective variant of the affective Simon paradigm of De Houwer and Eelen (1998) in which participants responded by saying either "dominant" or "submissive" depending on the right or left spatial position of a target person w...

background :this paper explores the gender-related bilateral differences of extensor and flexor torques of the knee joint at low and high angular velocities in iranian healthy males and females.   methods : 70 healthy subjects (29 males (26.61±4.34 yrs and 41 females with average age of 23.07±3.70 yrs)) were participated in this study. isokinetic peak torque values for knee extensors and flexor...

Researchers have suggested that viewing social inequity as dominant-group privilege (rather than subordinate-group disadvantage) enhances dominant-group members' support for social policies aimed at lessening such inequity. However, because viewing inequity as dominant-group privilege can be damaging to dominant-group members' self-images, this perspective is frequently resisted. In the researc...

1. In cooperative societies with high reproductive skew, selection on females is likely to operate principally through variation in the probability of acquiring dominant status and variation in reproductive success while dominant. Despite this, few studies of cooperative societies have investigated the factors that influence which females become dominant, and/or their reproductive output while ...
