Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare scapular kinematics during elevation phase of abduction, flexion, and scapular plane elevation phase between fifteen persons with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) and thirteen persons without it. Methods: Values of scapular kinematics include scapular superior and lateral translations, upward rotation, external rotation, and posterior t...

Phase angle (PhA), a parameter of bioelectrical impedance analysis, is a well-known predictor of morbidity and mortality in various diseases. The causes of decreased PhA are, however, not yet completely understood. We therefore investigated determinants of PhA in 777 hospitalised patients in a retrospective analysis. PhA was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis at 50 KHz. Subjective glo...

The betatron phase advance between two points in a storage ring can be very accurately determined from a transverse beam transfer function measurement with DC beam. The phase advance can be determined from the difference in the phase response between an upper betatron sideband (N+Q line) and a lower betatron sideband (N-Q line) in an open loop network analyzer measurement between a kicker and a...

The motions of nuclei in a molecule can be mathematically described by using normal modes vibration, which form complete orthonormal basis. Each mode describes oscillatory motion at frequency determined the momentum nuclei. Near equilibrium, it is common to apply quantum harmonic-oscillator model, whose eigenfunctions intimately involve combinatorics. electronic state has distinct force constan...

We show that a classical imaging criterion based on angular dependence of small-angle phase can be applied to any system composed of planar, uniform media to determine if it is a flat lens capable of forming a real paraxial image and to estimate the image location. The real paraxial image location obtained by this method shows agreement with past demonstrations of far-field flat-lens imaging an...

Phase angle shift between the current and voltage with frequency has been reported for a single phosphoric acid fuel cell in the cell temperature from 100 °C to 160 °C and the humidifier temperature from 40 °C to 90 °C. An electrochemical workbench is employed to find the shift. The figure of phase angle shift shows a peak in high humidifier temperatures. The peak in phase angle shift directs t...

extension of the building advance-sale contracts on the one hand, and inadequacy of the provisions of the civil code on protection of  building advance-buyers before making its completion, on the other, consequently causing many problems for people in the community (society), has forced the legislature to pass the building advance-sale code in 2010. the parties of these contracts are called adv...

The amount of stress imposed on shoulder and elbow appears to be directly correlated with the degree of maximum shoulder external rotation (MER) during throwing motions. Therefore, identifying risk factors contributing to the increase of MER angle may help to decrease the throwing injuries occurrence in baseball players. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the correlation betwee...
