METHODS Twenty-eight limbs of 24 patients with venous edema of distinct etiologies and classified as between C3 and C5 using CEAP classification. Volumetric evaluation by water displac...

Background and Aims Water exercise is one of the most important interventions to reduce risk falls in elderly. However, effect different depths water has been less studied. Therefore, aim this study was investigate compare 8 weeks aquatic shallow deep parts pool on postural stability balance recovery strategies Methods In quasi-experimental study, a total 45 elderly males (60-70 years old) were...

A 17 year old female athlete presented with Achilles tendinopathy. A protocol of water and land based rehabilitation was designed to achieve non-weight bearing and pain free activity, so that she could rapidly return to her event (400 m hurdles). After three weeks, she returned to regular training, and after a further three weeks she successfully competed in a 400 m hurdle event. She has been a...

We propose an approach towards automatic generation of lexical exercises for learners of English. The techniques and tools used for generation of five different exercise types are described. We provide examples and evaluate the quality of generated exercises. We also compare the exercises generated on the basis of two different corpora by conducting an experiment. In the experiment learners com...

In the first exercise series you are requested to experiment with the model checker Spin. Spin is installed on the practicum SUN machines. We recommend to use the compute server demeter via remote login. To get things running, you should use this little shell script: #!/bin/sh
