A number of advantages have been claimed in the recent literature for theories that allow recursive, or internally layered, feet (Bennett 2012, Kager 2012, Martínez-Paricio 2013). The claimed advantages lie in the ability of recursive feet to capture phenomena associated with ternary stress configurations, whether the patterns involve repeating ternary configurations, ternary configurations emb...

PURPOSE To investigate the association between medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) and morphology and flexibility of the foot arches. METHODS 131 feet from 74 healthy subjects and 31 feet from 27 patients with MTSS were classified as normal feet (n=78 in 40 subjects), flat feet (n=53 in 34 subjects), or MTSS feet (n=31 in 27 patients). The medial longitudinal arch (MLA) ratio and the transve...

Aquatic and terrestrial animals have different swimming performances and mechanical efficiencies based on their different swimming methods. To explore propulsion in swimming frogs, this study calculated mechanical efficiencies based on data describing aquatic and terrestrial webbed-foot shapes and swimming patterns. First, a simplified frog model and dynamic equation were established, and hydro...

Atmospheric air is made up of nitrogen (71%), oxygen (28%) and other gasses (1%) including ozone which is altered by processes related to altitude, temperature and air pollution.1,2 Ozone (O3) is a gas with a characteristic, penetrating odour that is present in small amounts in atmospheric air. Ozone molecules are composed of three oxygen atoms and present naturally in the upper layer of atmosp...

Pes planus is the loss of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. It can be flexible or rigid and it results in relative flattening of the plantar surface. The condition may be lifelong, or acquired through time, inflammation or other musculoskeletal problems. Treatment is generally only needed if the condition is new, painful or progressing, or when there is a fixed deformity or other associ...

This paper offers an OT analysis of strong prosodic positions in contemporary French and claims that a specific type of trochee (a modified version of the French foot proposed by Selkirk 1978) still regulates a large (schwa-related) portion of the word-internal phonology. To account for the behavior of French schwa, three goals must be attained: 1) prosodization: correctly define foot domain an...

To the Editor, " Indian Medical Gazette." ^IR,?A great deal lias been written and said about the prevention of sore feet in soldiers and sportsmen who perform marches ; still I take the liberty of suggesting a very simple remedy for this complaint which, trivial in itself, is of the greatest importance. For the last twelve years I have P?en accustomed to taking a great amount of pedestrian and ...

Many visual languages based on Euler diagrams have emerged for expressing relationships between sets. The expressive power of these languages varies, but the majority can only express statements involving unary relations and, sometimes, equality. Spider diagrams are one such language, being equivalent in expressive power to monadic first order logic with equality. Spiders are used to represent ...
