Dynamic posturography has become an important tool for understanding standing balance in clinical settings. A key test in the NeuroCom dynamic posturography system, the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) provides information about the integration of multiple components of balance. The SOT test leads to an outcome measure called the equilibrium score (ES), which reflects the overall coordination of...

Most Lie group integrators can be expanded in series indexed by the set of ordered rooted trees. To each tree one can associate two distinct higher order derivation operators, which we call frozen and unfrozen operators. Composition of frozen operators induces a concatenation product on the trees, whereas composition of unfrozen operators induces a somewhat more complicated product known as the...

This two-part paper discusses the analysis and control of legged locomotion in terms of N -step capturability: the ability of a legged system to come to a stop without falling by taking N or fewer steps. We consider this ability to be crucial to legged locomotion and a useful, yet not overly restrictive criterion for stability. Part 1 introduces a theoretical framework for assessing N -step cap...

Background: Fatty acids are the main compounds in edible oils. Oil thermal stability depends on the composition of fatty acids. So, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of fatty acid composition on the oxidative stability of extra virgin olive oil during heating process.  Methods: Totally, eight virgin olive oil samples, including five imported oils from market place of Ma...

study of genotype by environment interaction (gei) has assumed great importance in genotype testing programs due to yield performance of a genotype is a result of interaction between genotype and environment. gei occurs when the performance of the genotypes is not consistent from one environment to another. therefor, 17 barley genotypes with three check cultivars (wa 2196-68/ny6005-18,f1//scoti...

this experiment was conducted to study the effect of plastic mulch on the growth and some physiological characteristics of two strawberry cultivars (paros and queen elisa) under drought stress. a factorial experiment was performed based on randomized complete block design with four treatments, including mulch, without mulch, normal irrigation (control) and deficit irrigation (-10 bar) with thre...
