Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of ESWT technique versus ischemic compression technique on subjective pain, pressure pain threshold and trapezius flexibility for subjects with upper trapezius muscle MTrP. Methodology: 60 subjects both males and females with the mean age of (23.46 ± 2.31) were randomly assigned into 2 groups. Subjects in Group A received shockwave therapy with MET and subjects in Group B received ischemic compression with MET. Treatment was given 5 times a week for 2 weeks.

The study sought to examine factors affecting provision of quality education to learners with Hearing Impairments at basic school level with a particular focus on the teaching methods being applied by teachers and availability of appropriate teaching and learning materials. It is our assumption that provision of quality education to learners with Hearing Impaired can only be attained through the use of appropriate teaching methods and availability of teaching and learning materials.

The main objective of the study was to evaluate the changes in the biochemical and mineral parameters in soccer athletes of the first state division of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. One hundred male volunteers aged between 18 and 35 years participated in the research divided into experimental group and control group. The analytical determinations of glucose, total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus were conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology.

In chemical reaction engineering; Plug-Flow-Reactor (PFR) and Continuous-Stirred-Tank-Reactor (CSTR) are ideal reactors and are based on extremely simplified assumptions. One can predict the performance of these ideal reactors easily, but this prediction may deviate from reality considerably. In a tubular-flow reactor, dispersion-model can be used to predict the performance of real reactors. Degree of dispersion is represented by Peclet (Pe =uL/D) number. In a PFR, Pe  ∞, and in a CSTR, Pe = 0. In real reactors, degree of backmixing is between those of PFR and CSTR.

One of the problem faced by adult education planners is the timing in designing the programme, this is due to the fact that adult learner have a lot of responsibilities either in the society, families and their own personal problem that affect their study. This paper therefore discusses an overview of timing in organizing and implementing adult literacy programme in Nigeria. It also discusses whether there is relationship between timing and success in literacy programme, and also the paper highlight why timing in adult literacy programme should be given consideration and appropriateness.

Today, in engineering departments, mathematics courses such as calculus, linear algebra and differential equations are taught by mathematicians. Therefore, in their classroom teaching there are few or no applications of the concepts to real world problems. Most of the times, students do not know whether the concepts or rules taught in these courses will be used extensively in their majors or not. This situation holds true for all engineering disciplines. The real-life application of mathematics will be appreciated by students when mathematical modeling of real world problems are tackled.

Investigation of nonlinear mathematical model of the process of dehydration and granulation in a fluidised bed was made. Mathematical model for two-dimensional systems in variations was obtained. It was considered control actions: flow rate and cost solution. It was built an attractor for a dissipative dynamic system that represents the nature of limit cycle in phase plane. It was believed that the cost of gas depends on the temperature and subject to harmonic law. It was calculated senior Lyapunov index by changing the initial conditions.

The emergence of the Web in the 90's and its constant dissemination made possible the access to an immensurable quantity of information. However, a large part of the information available on the Web has, as its main feature, content interpretation directed to people and not to software programs. Therefore, this paper presents a tool for selecting terms of an ontology from text mining techniques and knowledge management, applied over collections of unstructured documents written in Brazilian Portuguese.

The present study was conducted in SUBHARTI UNIVERSITY (CSS HOSPITAL), situated in Meerut city (NH-58), UTTAR PRADESH .The purpose of study was to assess the impact of patient counseling, dietary intake, exercise and eating habits in patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The study was conducted on 50 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The samples were randomly assigned into 2 groups counseling. Self constructed questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data was interpreted in terms of frequency and percentage.

In this paper, I will investigate how to use the formal definition in finding the limit of some specific patterns of functions using epsilon-delta approach.
