OBJECTIVE There is preliminary evidence linking long-term participation in high-impact exercise with poor performance in labor and increased incidence of stress urinary incontinence, which may be due to altered pelvic floor function. Recent work has shown that HIFIT (high-impact, frequent intense training) athletes have an increased cross-sectional area of the levator ani muscle group as visual...

nt matter & 2007 IAgrE. emseng.2007.07.007 hor. : [email protected] (B. Li) A concrete slatted floor system that consists of a narrow-gap slatted floor and beneath it a slope bottom for separation of faeces and urine in pig houses was investigated. In the experiments, four concrete slatted floors with one of two slat profiles and one of two gap widths, and a steel wire slatted floor were studied ...

As the demand for (Delta-Sigma) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with higher bandwidth and higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) increases, designers have to look for efficient structures with low oversampling ratio (OSR). The Leslie-Singh or –0 MASH architecture is often used in such applications. Based on this architecture, a reduced-sample-rate structure was introduced, which needs less chip...

2755. [19] Wieczorek, M. A. et al. (2013) Science 339, 671-675. Figure 1: Locations of floor-fractured craters [2] plotted on a basemap of crustal thickness [19]. Floor-fractured craters are preferentially located in regions of intermediate (20-30 km) crustal thickness. Mare deposits are located primarily on the lunar nearside and in regions of thinner crust. Figure 2: Crater Buch B (17.0°E, 39...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of dual-branch maximal-ratio combining (MRC) and equal-gain combining (EGC) receivers with coherent modulations over correlated Weibull fading channels. The numerical and simulations results show the influence of imperfect cophasing, branch unbalancing and correlation on the error performance. It is interestingly shown that EGC has lower irreducible er...

The focus of this study is on the impact of solar radiation reflected from the building façade to a pedestrian. The possibility of using high-reflectance technology on building façades was evaluated by using a two-dimensional simple building façade model. The effectiveness of applying retroreflective materials to building façades was also evaluated in regards to avoiding adverse effects on pede...

During early neurogenesis, the floor plate plays an essential role(s) in the differentiation of the ventral portion of neural tube. In this study, we detected the specific distribution of unique glycoconjugate during the floor plate differentiation. Formalin fixed paraffin sections of BALB/c mice (10-14 embryonic days) were processed for histochemical studies using horseradish peroxidase-labell...

The Coastal area of Nazhvan is located at the riverside of Zayandehrūd River in the western part of Isfahan. In the gardens of this area which are mostly orchards, woodlands full of fruitless trees, owners have constructed architectural spaces and pavilions. One of the prominent architectural spaces within this territory is a mill known as “Asyāb-e Nazhvān or Hājjī”. There stands a two-floor pa...
