[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the somatotype and physical characteristic differences among elite youth soccer players. [Subjects and Methods] In the present study, we evaluated twenty-two Korean youth soccer players in different playing positions. The playing positions were divided into forward (FW), midfielder (MF), defender (DF), and goalkeeper (GK). The participants'...

The hydrology of vernal pools near Mather Air Force Base in Sacramento County was investigated to assess the relative importance of direct precipitation, overland flow, and subsurface flow on the water level regime of vernal pools located on a Redding-Red Bluff soil complex, and to determine if constructed pools affected the hydrology of naturallyoccurring pools. Studies included direct continu...

A three-terminal Josephson junction consists of three superconductors coupled coherently to a small nonsuperconducting island, such as a diffusive metal, a single or double quantum dot. A specific resonant single quantum dot three-terminal Josephson junction (Sa, Sb, Sc) biased with voltages (V,−V, 0) is considered, but the conclusions hold more generally for resonant semi-conducting quantum wi...

Treadmill walking and running using a supportive harness has been used as a training method to rehabilitate injured patients' walking or running gait. Comparison of full weight support (FWS) and body weight support (BWS) kinematic measures in competitive runners has received little attention. The purpose of this study was to compare selected FWS to BWS kinematic measures in healthy competitive ...

[1] We study channelization and slope destabilization driven by subsurface (groundwater) flow in a laboratory experiment. The pressure of the water entering the sand pile from below as well as the slope of the sand pile are varied. We present quantitative understanding of the three modes of sediment mobilization in this experiment: surface erosion, fluidization, and slumping. The onset of erosi...

A 100 km deep liquid water ocean probably underlies the icy exterior of Jupiter’s satellite Europa. The long-term persistence of a liquid ocean beneath an ice shell presents a thermal conundrum: Is the temperature of the ocean equal to the freezing point of water at the bottom of the ice shell, or is it equal to the somewhat warmer temperature at which water attains its maximum density? We argu...

The successful completion of reinforced concrete (RC) building construction projects depends, in part, on selecting the appropriate formwork system (FWS) since it may significantly affect project’s cost, time, and quality performance factors. selection FWS depends a number compromising conflicting criteria, while several alternatives be available. Therefore, has mostly been treated as multi-cri...

Abstract Objectives The aim of this prospective study was to assess the amount interlabial gap (ILG) and freeway space (FWS) at rest position (RP) according gender, age, skeletal pattern, evaluate cephalometric measurements maximum intercuspal (MIP) RP define changes from MIP related ILG FWS. Methods Lateral cephalograms photographs selected subjects (47 females, 57 males) were obtained RP. Cep...

Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to determine the response of a vitreous silica surface in contact with water to radiation damage. The defects caused by radiation damage create channels that promote high H mobility and result in significantly higher concentration and deeper penetration of H in the silica subsurface. These subsurface H hop between acidic sites such as SiOH2 and Si–(...

Sedimentary microorganisms can be used as a sensitive indicator of integrated aquatic environment quality assessment and indicate long-term water quality or toxicity. According to the Chinese National Standards of GB 3838-2002 and GB 18918-2002, the comprehensive water quality in Haihe River Basin has been described. Results showed that the comprehensive water quality in 6 sites, 4 sites, and 2...
