A power allocation to active and reactive power in stochastic resonance is discussed for energy harvesting from noise. It is confirmed that active power can be increased at stochastic resonance, in the same way of the relationship between energy and phase at an appropriate setting in resonance. key words: stochastic resonance, white Gaussian noise, energy harvesting, active and reactive power, ...

BACKGROUND Non-surgical techniques for treating scoliosis frequently focus on realigning the spine, typically by muscular relaxation or muscular or ligamentous stretching. However, such treatments, which include physical therapeutic, chiropractic, and bracing techniques, are inconsistently supported by current evidence. In this study, we assess the possible benefits of asymmetrical strengthenin...

The purpose of this study was to determine the associations device-based assessments physical activity (PA) and health-related fitness (HRF) with gross motor skills (GMS) in preschool-aged children. Participants were 3- 5-year-old children ( N = 316; 49.6% female) who participated 2012 National Youth Fitness Survey. GMS assessed using quotient calculated from Test for Gross Motor Development—Se...

Ion channels are naturally occurring pores through the proteins that regulate the passage of ions and thus maintain the concentration of ions inside and outside the cell. The ion channels control many physiological functions and they can show selectivity for a specific ion. Ion channels are mostly observed in nerve cells and muscle cells. The influx of ions into cells can be regulated by a gate...

For washing of carpets, scrapping is done using a wooden plank. The edge of the plank gives pressure on the carpet to remove dirt particles and water from the carpet surface. The plank follows a straight-line path on the carpet surface. In this paper Hoeken’s and Pantograph mechanisms are used to obtain a straight-line path for carpet scrapping. Hoeken’s four-bar mechanism can produce the same ...
