Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the immediate effect of ischaemic compression, trigger point pressure release and placebo ultrasound on pain, degree of cervical lateral flexion and pressure pain threshold of upper trapezius trigger points in subjects with non-specific neck pain. Design: Randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Setting: Anglo-European College of ...

‎the object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting‎ ‎quasi-conformal curvature tensor‎. ‎at first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is einstein‎ ‎and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying‎ ‎einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant‎. ‎next‎, ‎we prove that if the perfect...

Any sphere S admits a metric of constant sectional curvature. These canonical metrics are homogeneous and Einstein, that is the Ricci curvature is a constant multiple of the metric. The spheres S, m > 1 are known to have another Sp(m + 1)-homogeneous Einstein metric discovered by Jensen [Jen73]. In addition, S has a third Spin(9)-invariant homogeneous Einstein metric discovered by Bourguignon a...

We study the phase space of the spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet system nonminimally coupled to a scalar field and prove the existence of solutions with unusual asymptotics in addition to asymptotically flat ones. We also find new dyonic solutions of dilatonic Einstein-Maxwell theory.

Centre manifold theory is applied to some dynamical systems arising from spatially homogeneous cosmological models. Detailed information is obtained concerning the late-time behaviour of solutions of the Einstein equations of Bianchi type III with collisionless matter. In addition some statements in the literature on solutions of the Einstein equations coupled to a massive scalar field are prov...

the asymptotically ads solutions of the einstein gravity with hyperbolic horizons in the presence of so(n(n-1)/2- 1,1) yang-mills fields governed by the non-abelian born-infeld lagrangian are presented. we investigate the properties of these solutions as well as their asymptotic behavior in various dimensions. the properties of these kinds of solutions are like the einstein-yang-mills solutions...

In 1895 Hendrik Antoon Lorentz derived the Fresnel dragging coefficient in his theory of immobile ether and electrons. This derivation did not explicitly involve electromagnetic theory at all. According to the 1922 Kyoto lecture notes, before 1905 Einstein tried to discuss Fizeau's experiment "as originally discussed by Lorentz" (in 1895). At this time he was still under the impression that the...

‎we study curvature properties of four-dimensional lorentzian manifolds with two-symmetry property‎. ‎we then consider einstein-like metrics‎, ‎ricci solitons and homogeneity over these spaces‎‎.

A theory of gravitation is proposed, modeled after the notion of a Ricci flow. In addition to the metric an independent volume enters as a fundamental geometric structure. Einstein gravity is included as a limiting case. Despite being a scalar-tensor theory the coupling to matter is different from Jordan-Brans-Dicke gravity. In particular there is no adjustable coupling constant. For the solar ...

we classify the paracontact riemannian manifolds that their rieman-nian curvature satisfies in the certain condition and we show that thisclassification is hold for the special cases semi-symmetric and locally sym-metric spaces. finally we study paracontact riemannian manifolds satis-fying r(x, ξ).s = 0, where s is the ricci tensor.
