BACKGROUND Low back pain (LBP) is a common cause of lost playing time and can be a challenging clinical condition in competitive athletes. LBP in athletes may be associated with joint and ligamentous hypermobility and impairments in activation and coordination of the trunk musculature, however there is limited research in this area. OBJECTIVES To determine if there is an association between a...

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between core stability, functional movement, and performance. Twenty-eight healthy individuals (age = 24.4 ± 3.9 yr, height = 168.8 ± 12.5 cm, mass = 70.2 ± 14.9 kg) performed several tests in 3 categories: core stability (flexion [FLEX], extension [EXT], right and left lateral [LATr/LATl]), functional movement screen (FMS) (deep squat...

Memory management is one of the main tasks an Operating System, where data each process running in system kept. In this context, there exist several types attacks that exploit memory-related vulnerabilities, forcing Systems to feature memory protection techniques make difficult them. One these ASLR, whose function introduce randomness into virtual address space a process. The goal work was meas...

Background: Pain and limited range of motion with impaired musculoskeletal function in lower lumbar spine area was more frequently reported problem now day’s sedentary populations who are doing job information technology field. Myofascial Release (MFR) is a technique that facilitates stretching restricted fascia to improve the movement flexibility affected musculature. Application Soft Tissue M...

This paper deals with the mechanical aspects of robot vision and focuses on the design and implementation of a high-performance system. The system is called CeDAR (Cable Drive Active vision Robot). As part of the research at the Robotic Systems Laboratory (RSL) to develop real-world vision systems, CeDAR is designed for speed and accuracy through its novel use of cables in zerobacklash transmis...

Whether or not a security feature is useful is highly dependent on how effective it is and how it affects system performance. If a security feature is effective but greatly degrades the performance of the system, then the feature is not useful. Likewise, if a security feature is very fast but is not very effective, then it is also not useful. A useful security feature needs to add a reasonable ...

We present an approach for achieving a natural, efficient gait on bipedal robots using straightened legs and toe-off. Our algorithm avoids complex height planning by allowing a whole-body controller to determine the straightest possible leg configuration at run-time. The controller solutions are biased towards a straight leg configuration by projecting leg joint angle objectives into the null-s...

ASLR is no longer a strong defense in itself, but it still serves as a foundation for sophisticated defenses that use randomization for pseudo-isolation. Crucially, these defenses hide sensitive information (such as shadow stacks and safe regions) at a random position in a very large address space. Previous attacks on randomization-based information hiding rely on complicated side channels and/...

The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between posturally increased intra-abdominal pressure and lower/upper esophageal sphincter pressure changes in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. We used high resolution manometry to measure pressure changes in lower and upper esophageal sphincter during bilateral leg rise. We also examined whether the rate of lower and upper e...

Automatic sign language recognition (ASLR) is a special case of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and computer vision (CV) and is currently evolving from using artificial labgenerated data to using ’real-life’ data. Although ASLR still struggles with feature extraction, it can benefit from techniques developed for ASR. We present a large-vocabulary ASLR system that is able to recognize sentenc...
