OBJECTIVE To analyse published articles that used interventions aimed at investigating biomechanical/physiological outcomes (ie, intermediate risk factors) for sport injury prevention in order to characterise the state of the field and identify important areas not covered in the literature. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Cinahl, Web of Science and Embase were searched using a broad search strategy. M...

Transcriptome analysis is an efficient way to explore molecular markers in plant species, for which genome sequences have not been published. To address the limited number of markers published for the Welsh onion, this study found 6486 loci of genic simple sequence repeats (SSR), which consisted of 1–5 bp repeat motifs, based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and the RNA-Seq approa...

This contribution addresses filtering requirements to meet the ETSI and ANSI specifications on transmit signal power spectral density (PSD) for VDSL systems employing multicarrier modulation techniques. It is shown that the specifications can be met with simple fixed filtering elements. Conformance with the various PSD masks is achieved by proper adjustment of the digital gains at the input of ...

IGR J17544-2619 belongs to a distinct group of at least seven fast X-ray transients that cannot readily be associated with nearby flare stars or pre-main sequence stars and most probably are X-ray binaries with wind accretion. Sofar, the nature of the accretor has been determined in only one case (SAX J1819.3-2525/V4641 Sgr). We carried out a 20 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation of IGR J17544-2619 ...

Apelin is a recently discovered bioactive peptide, known to be an endogenous high-affinity ligandfor the previously orphan G protein-coupled receptor APJ. Apelin/APJ as a novel signaling pathwayhas been shown to play many crucial roles in cardiovascular function, blood pressure regulation, fluidhomeostasis, feeding behavior, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, adipoinsular axis regulation, cellp...

background: in radiation treatment of moving targets located in thorax region of patient body, the delivered dose does not match with the planned treatment, resulting in some over and under dosage in the tumor volume, as a function of motion magnitude and frequency. several efforts have been done to investigate the target motion effects on dose distribution in the target and surrounding normal ...

We investigated features of corona point discharges when a grounded conductive rod is subject to high background electric field. In the laboratory, voltage applied an upper plate in plane-to-point experiment, and are observed from using ultraviolet camera photosensor. The current measured shunt resistor, transformer, impedance ammeter. have found that pulses fast rise time (tens nanoseconds) sl...
