Research demonstrates a positive effect of aerobic exercise on cognitive functioning in older adults. Unfortunately, aerobic exercise is often contraindicated for older adults due to cardiovascular and functional limitations. Low-intensity strengthening exercise may offer a practical alternative, but the neuropsychological benefits and potential neurophysiological mechanisms are less well under...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of posterolateral hip muscle strengthening versus quadriceps strengthening in reducing pain and improving health status in persons with patellofemoral pain (PFP). DESIGN Comparative control trial. SETTING Rehabilitation facility. PARTICIPANTS Persons with a diagnosis of PFP (N=36; 18 men, 18 women). INTERVENTIONS Patients were alternately assigned to a ...

Laryngopyocele recurrence after initial surgical resection is a very rare occurrence. We present a case of recurrent laryngopyocele in which CT fluoroscopy-guided hookwire placement was used to facilitate resection. In this article, we illustrate the imaging findings of laryngopyocele, review the approach to management, and describe the CT fluoroscopy-guided hookwire placement procedure.

Combining forms such as over-, underand ill-, as in overloaded, underpaid and ill-nourished show a similar distribution and pattern of behavior, and are thus likely to be amenable to a similar analisis, but since their syntax and semantics is slightly di erent from that of manner adverbs, we will not discuss them here. a degree reading and a \quality" reading in examples like (3a), but only a q...

The purpose of the study was to investigate Finnish elementary and high school students' skills and practices of using the new information and communication technologies (ICT). Beliefs about the importance of ICT were also assessed. Five hundred and ®fteen students responded to a self-report questionnaire. The students attended 25 schools that used ICT intensively and represented all provinces ...

We study, in various special cases, total distributions on the product of a finite collection of finite probability spaces and, in particular, the question of when the probability distribution of each factor space is determined by the total

The word “researcher” is loaded and often confusing. It takes years to become one and to master all of its aspects. In this paper, we investigate whether or not this process of “becoming” can be catalyzed through education. The focus will be on wireless communications, though the same principle could very well be replicated to other disciplines.

The analog of Toupin's version of Saint-Venant's principle is proved for an isotropie, linear elastic mieropolar body of arbitrary length and of uniform cross-section which in the unstressed state is helical. That is, when such a body is loaded by self-equilibrated stresses and couple stresses at one end only, we show that the elastic strain energy stored in the part of the body beyond a certai...
