Introduction: High heel shoes affect the knee joint and can cause arthritis in the tibiofemoral (TFJ) and patellofemoral joints (PFJ). There is a dearth of research investigating the contact forces of TFJ and PFJ. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of high heel shoes on muscle forces as well as TFJ, and PFJ contact forces during walking.   Materials & Methods: A tot...

Similar to random sea waves, forces on the offshore structures due to waves are random. These forces can be mainly divided into two components, namely, inline forces and transverse or lift forces. The random nature of lift forces is more complicated than that of inline forces and both should be combined for design purposes. In the present paper, two different approaches have been used to determ...

This article is dedicated to the use MICROSCOPE mission's data test chameleon theory of gravity. We take advantage technical sessions aimed characterize electrostatic stiffness MICROSCOPE's instrument intrinsic its capacitive measurement system. Any discrepancy between expected and measured may result from unaccounted-for contributors, i.e. extra-forces. work considers case gravity as a possibl...

The interaction between [Pt(phen)(pyrr-dtc)]NO3 (where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and pyrr-dtc =pyrrolidinedithiocarbamat) with human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by fluorescence, UV–vis absorption, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and molecular docking technique under like physiological condition in Tris–HCl buffer solution at pH 7.4. UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy indicates that the pro...

the effects of some synthetic sweeteners on the rheological and physical properties of guar gum in dilute solutions were investigated.measurements include the determination of intrinsic viscosity and the particle size, surface weighted mean [d3, 2], volume weighted mean [d4,3] and specificsurface area ofguar gum andsyntheticsweeteners mixtures. the concentration of these sweeteners were 0, 0.1,...

Much IS adoption research has examined factors related to one’s intrinsic interests in IT, such as computer playfulness and personal innovativeness, and their various implications for adoption and use. But why are certain people more playful and innovative with technology than others in the first place? Prior IS research provides few answers as to the origins of these intrinsic motivators. Buil...

We find the first examples of triply periodic minimal surfaces of which the intrinsic symmetries are all of horizontal type.

Our submission this year is generated by the same method Encoplot that we have developed for the last year competition. There is a single improvement, we compare in addition each suspicious document with each other and flag the passages most probably in correspondence as intrinsic plagiarism.
