background: centre of pressure displacement is an indicator of postural control. children with cerebral palsy have poor postural control. one common intervention to enhance their balance is vestibular stimulation. the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of vestibular stimulation on cop parameters in children with cerebral palsy (3-10 years old). methods: this study was a randomiz...

Underground displacement monitoring is an effective method to explore deep into rock and soil masses for execution of subsurface displacement measurements. It is not only an important means of geological hazards prediction and forecasting, but also a forefront, hot and sophisticated subject in current geological disaster monitoring. In previous research, the authors had designed a novel electro...

o bjectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the displacement and stress distri- bution during surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion under different surgical conditions with tooth- and bone-borne devices. materials and methods: three-dimensional (3d) finite element model of a maxilla was constructed and an expansion force of 100 n was applied to the left and right molars and pr...

the current building codes provide limited prescriptive guidance on design for protection of buildings due to progressive collapse. progressive collapse is a situation in which a localized failure in a structure, caused by an abnormal load, such as explosions or other happenings. three procedures, often employed for determination of the structural response during progressive collapse i.e. linea...

an enhanced displacement feedback structural control procedure is presented for performance-based design in this paper. at first, a comparative study is implemented assessing three most common active control algorithms including state, acceleration, and displacement feedback controls. the advantage of the displacement feedback algorithm for active control of structures against earthquakes is de...

UNLABELLED We believed open reduction with internal fixation is required for supination-external rotation ankle fractures located at the level of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (Lauge-Hanssen SER II and Weber B) with 2 mm or more fibular fracture displacement. The rationale for surgery for these ankle fractures is based on the notion of elevated intraarticular contact pressures with latera...
