Postpartum posterior pelvic girdle pain (PPGP) affects nearly 20 % of women who experience back pain in the peripartum period. The sacroiliac joint is a source of this pain in 75 % of women with persistent PPGP. A subset of women will fail to obtain acceptable pain relief from the current array of non-surgical treatment options. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectivenes...

The geometrical and mechanical properties of non-persistent joints as well the behavior intact rock (rock bridges) are significantly effective in shear strength weakness planes containing joints. Therefore, comprehensive knowledge mechanism both bridges is required to assess planes. In this study, specimens a single rough joint investigated. A novel procedure was used prepare cast embedding (di...

PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with internal derangement of the TMJ were selected. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to examine the configuration ...

In this paper, we study an information flow security property for systems specified as terms of a quantitative Markovian process algebra, namely the Performance Evaluation Process Algebra (PEPA). We propose extension Non-Interference used to secure from functional point view by assuming that observers are able measure also timing properties system, e.g., response time certain actions or its thr...
