Thepresent study systematically investigated the in£uence of a distractor on horizontal and vertical eyemovements.Results showed that both horizontal and vertical eye movements deviated away from the distractor but these deviationswere stronger for vertical than for horizontal movements. As trajectory deviations away from a distractor are generally attributed to inhibition applied to the distra...

The present study systematically investigated the influence of a distractor on horizontal and vertical eye movements. Results showed that both horizontal and vertical eye movements deviated away from the distractor but these deviations were stronger for vertical than for horizontal movements. As trajectory deviations away from a distractor are generally attributed to inhibition applied to the d...

This study compared EMG activity of young tennis players' muscles during forehand drives in two groups, GD-those able to raise by more than 150% the vertical velocity of racket-face at impact from flat to topspin forehand drives, and GND, those not able to increase their vertical velocity to the same extent. Upper limb joint angles, racket-face velocities, and average EMGrms values, were studie...

Although all manifest skew deviations appear the same for the clinician, skew deviation can result from different combinations of dysconjugate vertical ocular deviations. Evidence is presented for three different types of skew deviation when it occurs as a feature of an ocular tilt reaction. In type 1 (utricle) there is upward deviation of both eyes with different amplitudes, as described for o...

OBJECTIVE This study was performed to analyze features of nasal septal deviation of patients with different cleft types and noncleft controls. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING West China Hospital of Stomatology, Chengdu, China. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Sixty-six patients with palatal and/or alveolar cleft and 42 noncleft controls were recruited in the study. All the subjects have unde...

Abstract In this work, we compare two different parameterisations for the wind velocity–component standard deviations. The first one is (Hanna 1982) parameterisation, while second (Scire et al. 2000) which provide proper values and vertical structure deviations in convective, neutral stable layers, needed as input Lagrangian stochastic model SPRAYWEB. results of simulations carried out using ar...

objectives: foot and ankle problems are common complications in rheumatoid arthritis disease. gait pattern such as normal foot and ankle rocker is impaired in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. rocker sole as an external shoe modification is commonly prescribed in this pathology. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rocker shoe on vertical ground reaction force parameters dur...

Optimization with a balancing objective often appear in practical problems where humans are implied in the solution. For example, in tasks assignment problems it is a desirable property that the workload is fairly distributed among the workers. In general, a violation measure of the perfect balance can be defined as the Lp norm of the vector of variables minus their mean. Two global constraints...
