Evaluation of mechanical and functional vertebral joint stability by isokinetic dynamometry

Introduction: joint stability is a prerequisite for the functional activities and has being extensively studied. However, the existing assessment methods do not cover information on all stabilizer system components. Purpose: to evaluate the vertebral joint stability by isokinetic dynamometry and to correlate the findings with clinical tests.

Study and application of mortar with residues of Expanded Polystyrene

The civil construction generates waste throughout its life, from the extraction of the used resources, the work implementation, until its demolition. It also has a very great amount of waste during the execution of the project being a great generator of ”garbage”, causing material waste and increasing the final costs. Furthermore, this intensification of disposed materials can overload the landfill, increasing the price of waste disposal and having a space shortage for this type of service.

New Trends in the Internal Design for Radiation Protection in Radiological Medical Facilities

The incidence of cancer throughout the world is increasing with the prolonged life expectancy that has resulted from improvements in standards of living. About half of all cancer patients receive radiotherapy, either as part of their primary treatment or in connection with recurrences or palliation. For that The Safety Report 2015, was initiated result of increase in the construction of radiotherapy facilities, and in response to Member States that have requested practical guidance regarding the design and shielding of such facilities.

Globalisation: zero sum game and positive sum game

The phenomenon of globalisation nowadays has attracted more significant global attention than perhaps any other issues. Globalisation manifests itself in various aspects of life: economic, political, social and cultural. In fact these are the dimensions of international business environment. Globalisation is such a multifaceted concept and process that it has big size advantages as well as disadvantages. While we play in the international arena we must know the rules and format of the game.

Uncovering user’s search patterns to personalise web search

In today’s world, search engines have become a very convenient method of searching and retrieving information. But this increasing use of search engines goes hand in hand with the ever-increasing data available on the internet. With such large number of websites available, it is essential to have these websites sorted in decreasing order of their relevance to the user’s query for effective operation and retrieval of data. This paper explores various domains related to Computer Science and proposes a framework that seems the best fix to this problem.

Pedagogical perspective of contribution of educational technology in engineering teaching

The use of technologies in academic environment has become a common practice today. Since the end of twentieth century virtual and media components have corresponded to a facilitator of teaching and learning process. Those resources have added a high level of effectiveness, to the point of promoting face-to-face education, in addition to incorporating Distance Education (EAD).

Mechanical analysis of viscous-elastic fluid acting on lingering oil in the micro pore

This paper with a specific end goal to dissect the typical deviatoric stretch that thick versatile liquid following up on the remaining oil under the circumstance of distinctive flooding conditions and diverse permeabilities, Viscous-flexible liquid stream condition is set up in the smaller scale pore by picking the progression condition, movement condition and the upper-convected Maxwell constitutive condition, the stream field is figured by utilizing numerical examination, the powers that driving liquid following up on the lingering oil in smaller scale pore are got, and the impact of flo

Comparison of colour vision in different types of deviation

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to compare the colour vision in different types of deviation. Methods: A pilot, cross sectional, observational study was performed at tertiary eye care centers. Subjects with Ocular deviation between 10 to 40 prism diopters, Corrected distance Colour vision should be greater than 6/18 and Age should be between 10 to 40 years of age were included in the study. Colour vision was assessed with Fransworth D 15 colour vision test. Results: 30 subjects were included in the study.

Nutritional quality of common bean fortified with amino acids

This work aimed to cover common bean grains, Carioca variety, with edible biopolymers added of amino acids methionine and cysteine in the amount recommended by Food and Agricultural Organization/World Health Organization, for the daily ingestion of students in the age group from 2 to 5 years and to quantify them through chromatographic analysis in high performance liquid chromatography. The tests were conducted in theLaboratory of Packaging, Department of Food Technology, Federal University of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Effect of irrigation intervals on charcoal rot of sunflower

The experiment was conducted to observe the effect of irrigation intervals on diseases severity of charcoal rot and its consequence on growth and yield parameters of sunflower during spring season, 2015. The seeds of HO-1 sunflower variety were sown in a filed with no prior history of Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) presence. A 5mm diameter plug of virulent MPS16 isolate was inoculated on a stem of sunflower plant at 10 cm from soil surface when plant age was 40days. Four irrigations intervals set as treatments and equally applied in inoculated and un-inoculated plots.
