The purpose of the study was to determine whether uniform intramuscular heating is achieved throughout a treatment area 2 times the transducer head at both 1 and 3 MHz. Seven male and three female subjects (Age: 23.6 ± 1.0 yrs, Weight: 83.8 ± 23.2 kg, Site Skinfold: 13.9 ± 7.3 mm) underwent two ultrasound treatments (1 and 3 MHz) in the triceps surae muscle group. Thermocouples were inserted at...

An important progress was recently done in numerical approximation of weak solutions to a micromagnetic model equation. The problem with the nonconvex sideconstraint of preserving the length of the magnetization was tackled by using reduced integration. Several schemes were proposed and their convergence to weak solutions was proved. All schemes were derived from the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert for...

The National Mental Health Programme (NMHP) for India (1982) was formulated by the mental health professionals in 1981 and 1982 and it was adopted in August 1982 by the Central Council of Health and Family Welfare. The NMHP envisaged that there would be periodical review and readjustment depending on the experiences of implementation as follows: "depending upon the difficulties and bottlenecks ...

ABSTRACT: This paper describes analysis of deep beams subjected to two point loading with three different L/D ratios (1.5, 1.6, 1.71) using Non-linear Finite element method (ANSYS 9.0 software) in order to investigate the stress and strain distribution pattern at mid-section of the beam. In ANSYS 9.0 software, SOLID 65 and LINK 8 element represent concrete and reinforcing steel bars. Non-linear...

This paper presents a series of structural modifications of epoxidized ricinoleic acid for biolubricant to improve the cold flow behavior and oxidation stability of vegetable oils through measurement of pour point (PP) and oxidation onset temperature (OT) and signal maximum temperature (SMT) of each synthetic compound. The results showed that butyl 10,12-dihydroxy-9-behenoxystearate with bulky ...

AIM The aim of the study is an evaluation of the occurrence and dynamics of depression during mid-adolescence. It was conducted in prospective studies on a representative group of gymnasium school adolescents in large towns. METHOD In a two-stage draw, a representative group of 1737, 13 year-old adolescents was chosen. They were surveyed by the Krakow Depression Inventory (KID) subsequently i...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is being included formally in EcoDesign regulations. Especially product carbon footprint will be mandatory Europe. However, life impact assessment, including global warming potential (GWP) LCA, hampered by several challenges. One of these a lack water vapor characterization indexes for GWP. A inventory profile air transport fuel, emissions, evaluated with state-of-th...
