Stylistic Devices Commonly Used in English Riddles

Single-limb-balance difficulty on 4 commonly used rehabilitation devices.

CONTEXT Balance training is widely used by rehabilitation professionals and has been shown to be effective at reducing risk of injury, as well as improving function after injury. However, objective evidence for the difficulty of commonly available equipment is lacking. OBJECTIVE To assess center-of-pressure (COP) area and average sway velocity in healthy subjects while performing a single-lim...

Deposition of carbon nanotubes in commonly used sample filter media

There is no single standard technique or methodology to characterize the size, structure, number, and chemical composition of airborne carbon nanotubes.  Existing analytical instruments and analytical techniques for evaluating nanoparticle concentrations cannot simultaneously provide morphology, state of agglomeration, surface area, mass, size distribution and chemical composition data critical...

Corpus-based Stylistic Analysis of Tourism English

Tourism English belongs to the English for Specific Purpose (ESP) and it has its own stylistic features. This paper aims at analyzing the stylistic features of tourism English. Firstly, a large amount of authentic materials are collected from official tourism websites of Britain and the U.S., and then a corpus named Tourism English Corpus (TEC) is compiled. Freiburg-LOB Corpus of British Englis...

Numerical Simulation of Fluid Flow and Hydrodynamic Analysis in Commonly Used Biomedical Devices in Biofilm Studies

Biofilms are microbial communities which can form on most biotic or abiotic surfaces including glass, metal, plastic, rocks, and live tissues. These colonies begin with individual planktonic bacterial cells that attach to a surface and then start to generate a sticky Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS). This complex polysaccharide matrix contributes to a modification of the phenotypic statu...
