[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of inclined treadmill walking on pelvic anterior tilt angle, hamstring muscle length, and back muscle endurance of seated workers with flat-back syndrome. [Subjects] Eight seated workers with flat-back syndrome who complained of low-back pain in the L3-5 region participated in this study. [Methods] The subjects performed a walking exercise on a 30° ...

Retrospective studies have suggested that dancers performing on inclined ("raked") stages have increased injury risk. One study suggests that biomechanical differences exist between flat and inclined surfaces during bilateral landings; however, no studies have examined whether such differences exist during unilateral landings. In addition, little is known regarding potential gender differences ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine if an inclined treadmill with rhythmic auditory stimulation gait training can improve balance and gait ability in stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty participants were randomly divided into three groups: inclined treadmill with rhythmic auditory stimulation training group (n=10), inclined treadmill training group (n=10), and treadm...

The longwall mining method is one of the most applied methods in extracting low-inclined to high-inclined coal seams. Selection of the most suitable extraction equipment is very important in the economical, safety, and productivity aspects of mining operations. There are a lot of parameters affecting the selection of an extraction equipment in mechanized longwall mining in steeply inclined coal...

laminar mixed convection of aluminium oxide (al2o3)–water nanofluid flow in an inclined annulus using a single-phase approach was numerically studied. constant heat flux boundary conditions were applied on the inner and outer walls. all the thermophysical properties of nanofluid, such as, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient, except density in the bo...

The Pt(II) ion in the title complex, [PtI(2)(C(14)H(10)N(4))], exists in a distorted square-planar environment defined by the two pyridine N atoms of the chelating 2,3-di-2-pyridyl-pyrazine ligand and two iodide anions. The pyridine rings are inclined to the least-squares plane of the PtI(2)N(2) unit [maximum deviation = 0.070 (3) Å] at 66.1 (2) and 65.9 (2)°; the pyrazine ring is perpendicular...

The title compound, (C12H16N3O)[PtCl4]Cl, consists of a 4,4'-(1-aza-niumyl-2-hy-droxy-ethane-1,2-di-yl)dipyridinium trication, a square-planar tetra-chloridoplatinate(II) dianion and a chloride ion. In the cation, the pyridinium rings attached to the central 1-aza-niumyl-2-hy-droxy-ethane fragment have an anti conformation, as indicated by the central C-C-C-C torsion angle of -166.5 (6)°, and t...

The Mn(II) ion in the title complex, [MnBr(2)(C(18)H(12)N(6))], is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by three N atoms of the tridentate 2,4,6-tri-2-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine (tptz) ligand and two bromide anions. In the crystal, the pyridyl rings coordinated to the Mn atom are inclined slightly to their carrier triazine ring [dihedral angles = 8.0 (3) and 7.5 (3)°], whereas ...

A novel method to estimate unsteady aerodynamic force coefficients from pointwise velocity measurements is presented. The methodology is based on a resolvent-based reducedorder model which requires the mean flow to obtain physical flow structures and pointwise measurement to calibrate their amplitudes. A computationally-affordable time-stepping methodology to obtain resolvent modes in non-trivi...
