The goal of this study was to determine the repeatability of gait parameters measured by a force plate gait analysis system (Leonardo Mechanograph(®) GW) in healthy children. Nineteen healthy children and adolescents (age range: 7-17 years) walked at a self-selected speed on an 11-m-long walkway. Vertical ground reaction forces were measured in the central 6 m of the walkway. Each participant p...

The boy problem is difficult of solution at any age. It waxes acute, however, at the critical period of a boy's life technically called adolescence, beginning with the age of twelve and running until about nineteen. It is at this particular time that the great changes of life both physical and mental come upon him, the main directions of his life are fixed, and the foundations of his character ...

Kolmogorov complexity has intellectual roots in the areas of information theory, computability theory and probability theory. Despites its remarkably simple basis, it has some striking applications in Complexity Theory. The subject was developed by the Russian mathematician Andrei N. Kolmogorov (1903–1987) as an approach to the notion of random sequences and to provide an algorithmic approach t...

Muscle pain is often experienced by workers who have to move repeatedly and/or forcibly. The cumulative trauma disorder that results from repetitive movements is difficult to anticipate and prevent. The present study uses a rodent model to: (1) determine the factors which produce dysfunctional muscles, (2) document changes in the matrix and myofibers which lead to pathologic muscles, and (3) st...

Department of Obstetrics; Department of Paediatrics, Al Sabeen Hospital for Women and Children, Sana’a, Yemen. ABSTRACT We conducted a 12-year retrospective analysis of perinatal characteristics at Al-Sabeen Hospital, Sana’a. There were 62 168 births, 2936 stillbirths and 5434 per...

In the last decade, technological developments have resulted in tremendous increases in the volume and diversity of the data and information that must be processed in the course of biomedical and clinical research and practice. Researchers are at the same time under ever greater pressure to share data and to take steps to ensure that data resources are interoperable. The use of ontologies to an...

The amalgamation property (AP) is of particular interest in the study of residuated lattices due to its relationship with various syntactic interpolation properties of substructural logics. There are no examples to date of non-commutative varieties of residuated lattices that satisfy the AP. The variety SemRL of semilinear residuated lattices is a natural candidate for enjoying this property, s...

ABSTRACT In a prospective cohort study in Iraq, schoolchildren with a positive tuberculin skin test during the nationwide survey in 2000 were followed up in 2002 to determine prevalenc...

In the present series of experiments peripheral informative cues were used in order to dissociate endogenous and exogenous orienting of spatial attention using the same set of stimuli. For each block of trials, the cue predicted either the same or the opposite location of target appearance. Crucially, using this manipulation, both expected and unexpected locations could be either cued or uncued...

A closed λ-termM is easy if, for any other closed termN , the lambda theory generated by M = N is consistent, while it is simple easy if, given an arbitrary intersection type τ , one can find a suitable pre-order on types which allows to derive τ forM . Simple easiness implies easiness. The question whether easiness implies simple easiness constitutes Problem 19 in the TLCA list of open problem...
