Major depression (MD) is a common and debilitating condition. To expand knowledge on adjunctive treatment perspectives, this thesis explores a physical therapy approach in the treatment of MD. Specifically, in five studies, the thesis aims to: I) examine the quality of evidence for exercise in the treatment of MD; II) explore depression as an embodied phenomenon; III) evaluate the effects of ad...

When a large collection of objects (e.g., robots, sensors, etc.) has to be deployed in a given environment, it is often required to plan a coordinated motion of the objects from their initial position to a final configuration enjoying some global property. In such a scenario, the problem of minimizing some function of the distance travelled, and therefore energy consumption, is of vital importa...

In this paper, node recovery techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks have studied and an improved node recovery algorithm has developed. LEDIR algorithm has studied and then a new I-LEDIR (improved LEDIR) algorithm has developed and also has compared with previous LEDIR and RIM. The new algorithm is compared to existing algorithms based on three parameters: distance moved, no. of nodes moved and...

Objective(s): Considering the fact that the standardized uptake value (SUV) of a normal lung tissue is expressed as x±SD, x+3×SD could be considered as the threshold value to outline the internal tumor volume (ITV) of a lung neoplasm. Methods: Three hollow models were filled with 55.0 kBq/mL fluorine18- fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) to represent tumors. The models were fixed to a barrel filled w...

Dispersal forms are an important component of the ecology of many animals, and reach particular importance for predicting ranges of invasive species. African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) move overland between water bodies, but all empirical studies are from invasive populations with none from their native southern Africa. Here we report on incidents of overland movement found through a capture...

is termed the specific distance tendency (Gogel. 1969). Also. it has been found that an er of an object \rill result in an apparent movement of the object when the head is moved (H
