Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of thoracic thrust manipulation vs thoracic non–thrust mobilization in patients with bilateral chronic mechanical neck pain on pressure pain sensitivity and neck pain intensity. Methods: Fifty-two patients (58% were female) were randomly assigned to a thoracic spine thrust manipulation group or of thoracic non–thrust mobilization g...

We present new geologic maps of the Lake Champlain region of west-central Vermont and east-central New York State. This region contains a shallow-crustal section of an Ordovician foreland basin and a far-traveled thrust system that transported the Upper Cambrian–Lower Ordovician platform-sequence, allochthonous risefacies pelites and arenites and Middle Ordovician basinal shales and flysch. Ear...

When a pump is propelled by propeller, the nozzle flooding of jet wake area will produce turbulent quasi-sequence structure and have certain impact on outflow field thrust characteristics water propulsion pump. In this paper, method that combined numerical simulation with vortex dynamics adopted, which analyzes dynamic influence A large eddy turbulence model dimensionless velocity coefficient w...

We aimed to investigate the mu rhythm in the sensorimotor area during tongue thrust observation and to obtain an answer to the question as to how subtle non-verbal orofacial movement observation activates the sensorimotor area. Ten healthy volunteers performed finger tap execution, tongue thrust execution, and tongue thrust observation. The electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded from 128 elect...

In this work, we complete the calculation of the soft part of the two-loop integrated jet thrust distribution in e+e− annihilation. This jet mass observable is based on the thrust cone jet algorithm, which involves a veto scale for out–of–jet radiation. The previously uncomputed part of our result depends in a complicated way on the jet cone size, r, and at intermediate stages of the calculatio...

This article presents equations for the estimation of vertical strong ground motions caused by shallow crustal earthquakes with magnitudes Mw ≥ 5 and distance to the surface projection of the fault less than 100 km. These equations were derived by weighted regression analysis, used to remove observed magnitude-dependent variance, on a set of 595 strong-motion records recorded in Europe and the ...

[1] Vesta’s large southern hemisphere impact basin is likely to have caused reorientation. However, because the basin is not centred at the south pole, Vesta likely also has a remnant rotational figure. Reorientation of ≈6° is predicted to have occurred based on the dimensions of the basin. Existing measurements of Vesta’s shape are consistent with ≈20° or less reorientation, and ≈20% or less d...

In order to evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of a pendulum-type thrust measurement system, a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) and a laser optical displacement sensor have been used simultaneously to determine the displacement resulting from an applied thrust. The LVDT sensor uses an analog interface, whereas the laser sensor uses a digital interface to communicate the displa...
