OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the immediate effect of a global pelvic manipulation (GPM) technique, bilaterally applied, on low back pelvic pain in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PD). DESIGN A prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial. SETTING Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Podiatry. University of Sevilla, Spain. METHODS The sample group included 40 women (3...

Purpose The number of cancer cases in China has increased rapidly from 2.1 million in 2000 to 4.3 million in 2015. As a consequence, pain management as an integral part of cancer treatment became an important health care issue. In March 2011, the Good Pain Management (GPM) program was launched to standardize the treatment of cancer pain and improve the quality of life for patients with cancer. ...

Ultraprecision diamond turning is an established technique, mainly used for the fabrication of free form optics and mechanical components. By the use of Piezo ceramics as servo actuator, this technique offers cutting depth modulations with accuracies suitable for the fabrication of relief holograms [?]. In a previous work, a first approach for the design of diamond turned holograms (DTH) was pr...

1. To prepare various thematic layers such as drainage density, lineament density, slope, lithology, geomorphology and landuse/land cover using SOI topographical maps, remote sensing data and GIS. 2. To prioritize the weightages of individual themes and feature score depending upon their suitability to hold groundwater. 3. To prepare the integrated final groundwater potential map (GPM) using th...

A standard performance testing protocol for mechanical manure solids separators has been developed and tested. The protocol measures separator press-liquor throughput and dry-mass capture efficiency across a range of input total solids (TS) concentrations. This protocol was used to test two commercially available screw-press manure solids separators, a Vincent KP-6L and a PressTech Agri-Press w...

For thirty years, from the early 1840s, Charles Darwin documented the disappearance of flints in the grounds of Down House in Kent, at a location originally known as the “Stony Field”. This site (Great Pucklands Meadow – GPM) was visited in 2007 and an experiment set up in this ungrazed grassland. Locally-sourced flints (either large – 12 cm, or small – 5 cm dia.) were deposited at two densitie...

The new generation of weather observatory satellites, namely Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) constellation satellites, is the lead observatory of the 10 highly advanced earth orbiting weather research satellites. Indeed, GPM is the first satellite that has been designed to measure light rain and snowfall, in addition to heavy tropical rainfall. This work compares the final run of the Int...
