This study examined the effect of the polar moment of inertia of a tennis racket on upper limb loading in the serve. Eight amateur competition tennis players performed two sets of 10 serves using two rackets identical in mass, position of center of mass and moments of inertia other than the polar moment of inertia (0.00152 vs 0.00197 kg.m2). An eight-camera motion analysis system collected the ...

Clinical inertia is defined as lack of treatment intensification in a patient not at evidence-based goals for care. Clinical inertia is a major factor that contributes to inadequate chronic disease care in patients with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemias, depression, coronary heart disease, and other conditions. Recent work suggests that clinical inertia related to the management of...

BACKGROUND Dystocia occurs more commonly in some breeds of dogs than others. The Boxer breed is one of the highrisk breeds for whelping problems. The aim of this study was to document some reproductive parameters and the frequency of dystocia in Boxers. METHODS Two questionnaires were sent to the breeders of Boxers in Sweden during 1994 to 1997. Data from 253 whelpings and 1671 pups was recei...

in the present work properties of rossby and inertia gravity waves are investigated based on proper orthogonal decomposition (pod) functions. the pod functions are constructed using analytical, experimental or numerical data recorded as snapshots. the pod basis can be carried out to make a reduced order model by galerkin projection of governing equations onto these functions. in this paper, the...

in this paper‎, ‎we study the extremal‎ ‎ranks and inertias of the hermitian matrix expression $$‎ ‎f(x,y)=c_{4}-b_{4}y-(b_{4}y)^{*}-a_{4}xa_{4}^{*},$$ where $c_{4}$ is‎ ‎hermitian‎, ‎$*$ denotes the conjugate transpose‎, ‎$x$ and $y$ satisfy‎ ‎the following consistent system of matrix equations $a_{3}y=c_{3}‎, ‎a_{1}x=c_{1},xb_{1}=d_{1},a_{2}xa_{2}^{*}=c_{2},x=x^{*}.$ as‎ ‎consequences‎, ‎we g...

Introduction: Thermal inertia derived from Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) data at 20-ppd [1-2] is the highest spatial resolution global thermal inertia dataset currently available. This valuable dataset is important for understanding regional variations in thermal inertia, and for inferring the physical nature of the surface at 10s to 100s of km scales. However, the resolution of TES (~3 k...

Dystocia means difficult birth or inability to expel foetuses through the birth canal. The aetiology of dystocia may be maternal or foetal. Primary uterine inertia is the most common reason for dystocia in the bitch approaching 75% of the cases. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the incidence of dystocia and to find causes of primary uterine inertia. Also the treatment regimes for...
