Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAre Improvements in Physical Fitness after an Exercise Program Related to the Symptomatology in Patients with FibromyalgiaBorja Sanudo, Luis Carrasco, Moisés de Hoyo, Nicolae OchianaProblem statement: Physical exercise is considered one of the main strategies in management of Fibromyalgia (FM); While many studies have shown relevant improvements in the patients’ physical condition and psychological status, the efficacy of these treatments have not yet been completely determined and whether or not these improvements are related with symptom severity is still debated. The aim of this … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,653 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Body Weight-Support Treadmill Training in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: A Critical ReviewRenata Teles Vieira, Rafaela Machado de Gusmao Oliveira, Camila Alves Nogueira Barros et al.Problem statement: The present study reviewed the efficacy of body-weight support treadmill training in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury. Approach: We developed a computer-supported search strategy for finding studies in the main data bases: Pubmed/Medline, ISI Web of Knowledge and Scielo. We also developed a manual search withing all electronically references found. The search terms gait, locomotor training, spinal … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 23 Aug 2012 · 7,729 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProsthetic Knee Mechanism Using a Double Locking System as a Safety MeasureEicarl Saynes Vazquez, Esther Lugo GonzálezThe design of a four-link knee prosthesis mechanism with two locking systems activated during the flexion/extension phase is presented. The first is geometric, totally mechanical and activated by the user's weight. The second is variable and is activated automatically when walking on irregular or special surfaces is required. The links' dimensions were selected using the differential evolutionary optimization algorithm to … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2024 · 5,701 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBi-Stable Vibration Power Generation System Using Electromagnetic Motor and Efficiency Improvement by Stochastic ResonanceWei Zhao, Yoshiro Fujiwara, Jingchao Guan et al.Research on vibration energy harvesting using stochastic resonance has become an important research topic. A vibration energy harvesting system was developed using electromagnetic motors based on an obliquely supported bistable motion model consisting of a spring mass. After formulating the motion-governing equations of the proposed vibrating system and analyzing its potential energy performance, it was demonstrated that the system exhibits … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 2 Aug 2023 · 5,734 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview on Vision-Based Gait Recognition: Representations, Classification Schemes and DatasetsChin Poo Lee, Alan Wee Chiat Tan, Kian Ming LimGait has unique advantage at a distance when other biometrics cannot be used since they are at too low resolution or obscured, as commonly observed in visual surveillance systems. This paper provides a survey of the technical advancements in vision-based gait recognition. A wide range of publications are discussed in this survey embracing different perspectives of the research in this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 6 Feb 2017 · 8,246 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrade-Off of Frame-Rate and Resolution in Online Game StreamingAhmad Abdel Jabbar Ahmad Mazhar, Ayman Mahmoud Aref AbdallaOnly limited research in the literature focused on assessment of different spatial and temporal resolutions. In addition, the field of synthetic video compression, such as video compression in game streaming, was the focus of only a few research papers. This paper will consider a wide range of synthetic video textures and motion speeds. The visual quality of the compressed video … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 10 · 2 Oct 2017 · 7,855 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeficient Reasoning for Dark Matter in GalaxiesJames Q. Feng, C.F. GalloIn this universe, not all of the matter around us can be readily seen. The further an object is away from us and the less luminous it is, the less visible it becomes. Just by looking at an object is usually difficult, if not impossible, to tell the amount of mass it contains. But astronomers have been using the measured … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Sep 2015 · 8,285 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Analysis of MRR, EWR and Surface Roughness in EDM Milling through Response Surface MethodologyA.K.M. Asif Iqbal, Ahsan Ali KhanProblem statement: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has grown over the last few decades from a novelty to a mainstream manufacturing process. Though, EDM process is very demanding but the mechanism of the process is complex and far from completely understood. It is difficult to establish a model that can accurately predict the performance by correlating the process parameters. The optimum … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 9,606 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhase Transition in Φ6 PotentialHatem WidyanScalar field theory with an asymmetric potential was studied at zero temperature and high-temperature for Φ6 potential. The equations of motion are solved numerically to obtain O(4) spherical symmetric and O(3) cylindrical symmetric bounce solutions. These solutions control the rates for tunneling from the false vacuum to the true vacuum by bubble formation. The range of validity of the thin-wall … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,878 accessesView PDF Cite
