Genu varus is one of the malalignment of the lower limbs, the failure to correct it leads to secondary abnormalities in adulthood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a corrective exercise program on ground reaction forces, loading rates, impulses and free moment during stance phase of walking. 17 children with genu varus were volunteered to participate in this study (Ag...

Performance of a simplified Quad Tiltrotor (QTR) is studied in ground effect using CFD. The rotor systems are modeled in a time averaged sense using source terms for the forces in the momentum equations. Viscous body conforming overset meshes are used to model all the solid surfaces of the vehicle. The background Cartesian grid is used to specify the far-field boundary conditions and transfer i...

It has long been recognised that flight close to a boundary surface is more aerodynamically efficient than flight in the freestream. This has led to the design and construction of craft specifically intended to operate close to the ground and fly 'in ground effect'. A great range of Wing in Ground effect craft (WIGs) have been manufactured ranging from 2 seat recreational vehicles to 500 tonne ...

A review of recent and historical work in the field of transonic and supersonic ground effect aerodynamics has been conducted, focussing on applied research on wings and aircraft, present and future ground transportation, projectiles, rocket sleds and other related bodies which travel in close ground proximity in the compressible regime. Methods for ground testing are described and evaluated, n...

Mathematical analysis of the Anderson localization has been facilitated by the use of suitable fractional moments of the Green function. Related methods permit now a readily accessible derivation of a number of physical manifestations of localization, in regimes of strong disorder, extreme energies, or weak disorder away from the unperturbed spectrum. The present work establishes on this basis ...

We construct a model of spin-Hall effect on a noncommutative four sphere S4 θ with isospin degrees of freedom, coming from a noncommutative instanton, and invariance under a quantum group SOθ(5). The corresponding representation theory allows to explicitly diagonalize the Hamiltonian and construct the ground state; there are both integer and fractional excitations. Similar models exist on highe...

Explicit relation between Laughlin state of the quantum Hall effect and onedimensional(1D) model with long-ranged interaction (1/r) is discussed. By rewriting lowest Landau level wave functions in terms of 1D representation, Laughlin state can be written as a deformation of the ground state of Calogero-Sutherland model. Corresponding to Laughlin state on different geometries, different types of...
