[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the effects of upper extremity-oriented intensive onesided and double-sided dribbling on the postures of basketball playing children during the period of their basic training. [Subjects] Forty male children registered for a summer basketball training course held in Isparta, Turkey, voluntarily participated in the study. [Methods] The children were forme...

Urinary incontinence in girls is very common, usually presenting as intermittent, frequent urinary dribbling due to detrusor instability. Rarely, continuous urinary dribbling is caused by a dysplastic, poorly functioning moiety of a duplex kidney, or a unilateral dysplastic kidney draining into a ureter that exits ectopically to the vagina or distal urethra. Typically, the diagnosis is made aft...

In the context of the humanoid robotics soccer, ball dribbling is a complex and challenging behavior that requires a proper interaction of the robot with the ball and the floor. We propose a methodology for modeling this behavior by splitting it in two sub problems: alignment and ball pushing. Alignment is achieved using a fuzzy controller in conjunction with an automatic foot selector. Ball-pu...

A 20 yrs female, weighing 32 kgs presented with history of cough with expectoration of 6 months and urinary dribbling of 4 months duration. On examination, she was poorly nourished with a blood pressure of 80/60 mmHg. Systemic examination revealed bilateral coarse crepitations all over the chest. Abdomen was rigid and she had tenderness all over. Per vagina examination showed patulous vagina an...

the aim of this study was to survey the effect of arousal by the presence of audience and music and their comparison on learning and performance of basketball dribbling. subjects were 36 healthy and non-athlete girls (mean and sd of age 21.8±2.23 years, height 163.4±6.19cm and weight 57.5±10.13kg) were divided into three groups of audience (n=12), music (n = 12) and control (n = 12) randomly. t...

BACKGROUND In professional soccer, a significant amount of training time is used to improve players' aerobic capacity. However, it is not known whether soccer specific training fulfils the criterion of effective endurance training to improve maximal oxygen uptake, namely an exercise intensity of 90-95% of maximal heart rate in periods of three to eight minutes. OBJECTIVE To determine whether ...

Hierarchical task decomposition strategies allow robots and agents in general to address complex decision-making tasks. Layered learning is a hierarchical machine learning paradigm where a complex behavior is learned from a series of incrementally trained sub-tasks. This paper describes how layered learning can be applied to design individual behaviors in the context of soccer robotics. Three d...

and as such a procedure will not improve the situation, for constant dribbling will still go on, due to the absence of the sphincter. In such a case, the formation of a new urethra is another difficult problem. Cystitis and ascending infection have to be feared as well. It is reported that these children have grown up to adult lite, enjoying good health except for the nuisance caused by constan...
