methods thirty healthy female volunteers aged between 18 and 30 years were treated by a 15-minute cryotherapy (6 ± 1°c). the subject's skin temperature over antromedial aspect of dominant ankle was measured by the mayomed device before, immediate and 15 minutes after water immersion. ankle jps was tested trough the pedal goniometer at 3 stages similar to the skin temperature. anova (α = 0.05) w...

Effect of different fruit position on postharvest quality of F1 hybrid redfleshed watermelon Hi-U 16 was examined. In this study only one main vine was trained and maintained. The plants were allowed to set three fruits naturally at the first (8th - 11th nodes), second (13th - 16th nodes) and third (18th - 21th nodes) position. Fruits were harvested at 35 days after anthesis. Fruit weight, diam...

tioned into such an unquestioning acceptance of its efficacy that it has now attained the status of a medical dogma, the denial of which is tantamount to the gravest charges of irresponsibility or even damnable heresy. Nevertheless there has been some recent criticism of the position, mostly of an indirect nature, and concerned with its harmful side-effects rather than with the central thesis o...

Introduction We have done some initial work investigating what conditions are necessary for the formation of ‘glue’ to keep an online community together. One condition of the ‘glue’ is community knowledge. We are also investigating a particular representation framework on which community knowledge can be built and used. These are briefly discussed below, along with particular ideas we would lik...

I analyze the equilibria of a game based on the ad auction used by Google and Yahoo. This auction is closely related to the assignment game studied by Shapley–Shubik, Demange–Gale–Sotomayer and Roth– Sotomayer. However, due to the special structure of preferences, the equilibria of the ad auction can be calculated explicitly and some known results can be sharpened. I provide some empirical evid...

Currently, there is a great need in communities, such as telecommunication network simulation and transportation systems simulation, to be able to publish/pull models to/off the Web and assemble and simulate a virtual configuration of choice by the end-user. For example, in Internet simulations, users would like to be able to search for the most efficient/relevant traffic source models, network...
