Abstract This study was conducted to compare the muscle activation during traditional, clap and power push up among trained men. A total of thirty men that are physically active have at least one year experienced in fitness training having good techniques exercises were recruited as participants. Participants required perform all three types a randomised order avoid bias exercise sequence. Elec...

Real life networks are generally modelled as scale-free networks. Information diffusion in such networks in decentralised environment is a difficult and resource consuming affair. Gossip algorithms have come up as a good solution to this problem. In this paper, we have proposed Adaptive First-Push-Then-Pull gossip algorithm. We show that algorithm works with minimum cost when the transition rou...

We prove that a particular pushing-blocks puzzle is intractable in 2D, improving an earlier result that established intractability in 3D [OS99]. The puzzle, inspired by the game PushPush, consists of unit square blocks on an integer lattice. An agent may push blocks (but never pull them) in attempting to move between given start and goal positions. In the PushPush version, the agent can only pu...

background and aims. the single-cone technique has gained some popularity in some european countries. the aim of the present study was to compare the push-out bond strength of gutta-percha to root canal dentin with the single-cone and cold lateral compaction canal obturation techniques. materials and methods. the root canals of 58 human mandibular premolars were prepared using modified crown-do...

The "push-pull" effect denotes the reduced tolerance to +G(z) (hypergravity) when +G(z) stress is preceded by exposure to hypogravity, i.e., fractional, zero, or negative G(z). The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that an exaggerated, myogenically mediated rise in leg vascular conductance contributes to the push-pull effect, using heart level arterial blood pressure as a measure...

[TOP] Office-based vergence/accommodative therapy may be considered medically necessary for patients with symptomatic convergence insufficiency if, following a minimum of 12 weeks of home-based therapy (e.g., push-up exercises using an accommodative target; push-up exercises with additional base-out prisms; jump to near convergence exercises; stereogram convergence exercises; recession from a t...

Neveral cau8ea may explain the rapid acccleration in hospital costs with the advent of dfedicure and Medicaid. To sort out the influence of these separate faotors, thi.9 article presents certain types of evidence of ho8pitaJ coat inflation in the flr8t 2 years of Medicare: overall trend8 in ho8pitaZ revenue8 and expenses, labor and capital components of cost inflation, trend8 in individual hosp...
