In this article, the authors investigate the diverse dimensions of a knowledge society. First, the relevant literature on post industrial societies is reviewed to identify the key constituents of successful growth and development. The authors then propose a 10-dimension framework within political, economic, social and technological parameters that describe the state of evolution of a given know...

We present a new mathematical model for vibrating ring gyroscope (VRG) in the presence of imperfections, namely, structural defects and material anisotropy. As novelty, we calculate mode shapes internal suspension structure to enable more accurate modular analysis VRG’s mass stiffness distributions. Solving associated eigenvalue problem shows that imperfections result frequency split between gy...

The associations between obesity and Alzheimer's disease (AD) at different ages have been debated. Recent evidence implied the protective effects of metabolically healthy on AD. We hypothesized that lipids could mitigate detrimental impacts AD pathological changes among individuals in late life. In this study, a total 604 participants with normal cognition were included from Chinese Biomarker L...

Abstract We analyze the characteristics of atmospheric variations over tropical South America using pattern recognition framework weather typing or circulation patterns (CPs). During 1979-2020, nine CPs are defined in region, a k-means algorithm based on daily unfiltered 850 hPa winds 0035°N-30°S, 90°W-30°W. primarily interpreted as stages annual cycle low-level circulation. identified three “w...

Jump testing to monitor athletic performance and development has become commonplace in the field of strength conditioning. Verbal cues jump tests, such as drop jump, significant effects on metrics movement strategy. The purpose this study was use a force platform analysis investigate landing depth global flexion lower extremity joints at initial impact between maximize height or minimize ground...

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) offers excellent local control rates. This study retrospectively analyzed the influence of different tumor size on treatment outcomes after SBRT.Between December 2008 and February 2014, 141 HCC patients were treated with Cyberknife SBRT. Patients were divided into 3 groups namely small tumors (≤4 cm), inter...
