In response to the significant health disparities among persons with severe mental illness (SMI), this pilot study was developed to evaluate the potential effectiveness of a Tai Chi program provided to adults who are members of a psychosocial clubhouse program. A non-randomized, controlled pretest-posttest design was used, and qualitative data from a program evaluation survey is shared to provi...

Zgoubi is a code which can be used to model accelerators and beam lines, comprised of magnetic and electrostatic elements. It has been extensively developed since the mid-1980s to include circular accelerators and related beam physics. It has been made freely available by its author on a code development site, including a Users' Guide, a data treatment/graphic interfacing tool, and many example...

Music lessons are a repetitive process of giving feedback on a student’s performance techniques. The manner in which performance skills are improved depends on the particular instrument, and therefore, it is important to consider the unique characteristics of the target instrument. In this paper, we investigate the common mistakes of beginner flute players and propose a hierarchical approach to...

Relationship between alternative e-mail organizational strategies and time required for the strategy is modeled mathematically at the keystroke level (for five users). Author separates e-mail user types into Beginner, Frequent Filer, Spring Clearner, and No Filer, and found that (a) if stored messages are less than 100, having no folders is efficient; (b) zero to three folders are less efficien...

On Japanese high-ways, sharp turn and merging areas are the critical points where the majority of accidents occur. A number of studies have therefore taken place to date on supporting safer driving in merge areas within a framework of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Most of these studies, however, have assumed that drivers merge into the right main lane from the left lane because it i...

UNLABELLED Controversy surrounds whether running mechanics make good predictors of running economy (RE) with little known about the development of an economical running gait. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to identify if mechanical or physiological variables changed during 10 wk of running in beginners and whether these changes could account for any change in RE. METHODS A 10-wk running ...

Objective: To determine the corneal problems faced during and after phacoemulsification (phaco) as a beginner of phaco surgeries Methodology: Corneal problems in 100 cases of phaco were retrospectively analysed. Those cases with nuclei +3 / above and those who were operated in camps were excluded. Phaco-chop technique was used in 80% of cases. Average duration of surgery was 20 minutes Results:...
