An accurate noncontact method of characterizing Ag-BiSCCO tape is reported, using the trapped field, , of a field-cooled tape. The dimensions of the tape make it possible to calculate in closed form a very simple expression, relating trapped field to transport current. Short lengths of tape, 4 (cm), are used to experimentally confirm the model. The model applies to any length of tape for which ...

Many Africans in South Africa have high blood pressure. Knowing that how the heart and blood vessels respond to activity can be linked to high blood pressure in later life, we studied the heart and blood vessels of Black South African children. Our results showed that some of the children, when active, had a higher rate of blood flow through their blood vessels compared to others in their group...

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common in men and women of all ages sociodemographic strata society. Pain functional limitations caused by MSDs severely limit independence quality life interfere with an individual’s ability to participate family social work. The aim this study is investigate the effects Kinesio Tape (KT) technique on pain intensity patients upper and/or lower...

Objectives. The purpose of this study was the importance of applying Kinesio tape (KT) in relieving the pain in athletes' ankles using Y balance test and star. Methods. 22 male athletes with average age of 22.33±1.37 were discussed with and without Kinesio tape. At first athletes didn’t use kinesiology tape on their deltoid ligament and did the (Y) balance test in 3 directions,...

OBJECTIVES Tension-free vaginal tape has gained large popularity owing to the ease of the procedure and its effectiveness. These procedures were initially thought to rarely involve any significant morbid complications. The transobturator tape (TOT) procedure reproduces the natural suspension similar to the tension-free vaginal tape with a reduction in potential bladder, bowel, and vascular comp...

background due to the fundamental role of gripping in most upper limb activities, grip strength promotion is a chief goal in the treatment of patients with upper limb musculoskeletal disorders. kinesio taping is a novel and effective therapeutic technique believed to facilitate muscle contraction through stimulating mechanoreceptors and increasing the sensory feedback around the taped region. o...

It has been hypothesized that known words in the lexicon strengthen newly formed representations of novel words, resulting in words with dense neighborhoods being learned more quickly than words with sparse neighborhoods. Tests of this hypothesis in a connectionist network showed that words with dense neighborhoods were learned better than words with sparse neighborhoods when the network was ex...

OBJECTIVES To compare restaurant marketing by restaurant and neighborhood type. METHODS All restaurants (61=fast food, FF; 72=table service, TS) within an 800-meter radius of 13 public housing developments (HD) and 4 comparison neighborhoods were audited using the Restaurant Assessment Tool©2010. HD neighborhoods were lower income and higher minority than comparison neighborhoods with similar...

OBJECTIVES A novel delivery system for transdermal matrix patches of fentanyl has been developed. The new fentanyl tape consists of a backing layer, a drug-containing layer and a release liner that is originally made of rubber adhesive. This open-label prospective study investigated the pharmacokinetics and safety of the fentanyl tape in patients with cancer pain. METHODS The tape was applied...

This paper describes the areal density (bits per unit area) roadmap goals for tape based magnetic recording (TAPE) and uses these goals as counterpoints for the areal density roadmap strategies for Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and NAND flash. Technology comparisons described in this paper will show that presently volumetric densities (bits per unit volume) for TAPE, HDD, and NAND are similar and that ...
