the purpose of present study was to determine the effect of different levels of balance task difficulty and visual feedback on balance in elderly women. fourteen healthy elderly women (mean age 57/65 yr) were selected voluntarily. participants were asked to stand still on a stability platform under each of two conditions (with visual feedback and without visual feedback) in three levels of diff...

soil reduces the hazardous effects of compounds on the components of ecosystem because of self –purification property and the ability for their fixation. playing such a role in soils under redox conditions is performed by pedogenic fe-mn concentrations. in order to investigate cobalt, copper and lead accumulation in iron and manganese concentrations, at first the concentrations were precisely s...

the aim of this study was to investigate the barrier properties of cellulose nanocrystals-pvananocomposites. nanocomposite films with different filler loading levels (3, 6, 9 and 12% by wt) weredeveloped by solvent casting method. the effect of cellulose nanocrystals on the barrier properties ofthe nanocomposites was studied. to this end, moisture absorption, water vapor permeability (wvp),oxyg...
