BACKGROUND Trunk bridging exercises are often used as therapeutic exercises for lumbopelvic stabilization. These exercises focus on the retraining of muscle coordination patterns in which optimal ratios between local segmental stabilizing and global torque producing muscle activity are assumed to be essential. However, a description of such ratios is lacking. The purpose of this study was to in...

The majority of rural population in Iran has limited access to agricultural information. However, bridging the digital gap between urban and rural areas has been a major challenge for authorities in Iran. Using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for poverty reduction and for the economic empowerment of poor women and men in rural areas have been experienced world wide. Tele-centers ...

This paper suggests that the interpretation and development of IT occupations as knowledge work might provide a more realistic avenue to proceed towards more professional practice in the IT field rather than the ambition of trying to establish them as true professions. The idea of knowledge work leads us to focus on the body of knowledge possessed by it specialists, which is the hallmark of all...

In this study, socio-technical factors creating a multi-dimensional gap between users and developers in software intensive projects of Turkish Defense Industry are examined. Although there are numerous studies on the challenges and problems of the IT sector in the literature, defense industries have their own parameters. Therefore, they need to be examined separately. Findings have shown a sign...

Figure 1 displays some characteristics of the aggregated network of contacts between individuals as gathered by the SocioPatterns infrastructure. The degree of an individual in the aggregated network gives the number of distinct individuals with whom she has been in contact with at least once. The strength of a node is the sum of the durations of all the contacts that node had with other indivi...

This documents states the research agenda for the future of cryptology. We show which areas deserve more research bridging the gap between applications and research. For more detailed problems see the STORK document “D6 – Open Problems in Cryptology”.

Recognizing bridging anaphora is difficult due to the wide variation within the phenomenon, the resulting lack of easily identifiable surface markers and their relative rarity. We develop linguistically motivated discourse structure, lexico-semantic and genericity detection features and integrate these into a cascaded minority preference algorithm that models bridging recognition as a subtask o...

The title dinuclear titanocene, [Ti(2)(C(8)H(9)O)(C(18)H(25)Si)(2)Cl(3)O], contains one Ti atom tetra-hedrally coordinated by two Cl atoms, a bridging O atom and the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ligand, and another Ti atom tetra-hedrally coordinated by a Cl atom, a bridging O atom, the 2,6-dimethyl-phenolate ligand and the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ligand. The bridging O atom lies on a t...
