The effects of McKenzie and Brunkow exercise program on spinal mobility comparative study
Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2004 This study encompassed 64 participants with symptoms of low back pain, 33 in McKenzie group and 31 in Brunkow group. Patients attended exercise program daily and they were asked to do the same exercise at home--five times a day in series of 5 to 10 ...

An existence theorem for G-structure preserving affine immersions [PDF]
, 2006 We prove an existence result for local and global G-structure preserving affine immersions between affine manifolds. Several examples are discussed in the context of Riemannian and semi-Riemannian geometry, including the case of isometric immersions into

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents the MicroRoboScope, a highly integrated, compact, and portable microrobotic experimentation platform combining electromagnetic and acoustic actuation with real‐time visual feedback into a single, end‐to‐end device. The system enables closed‐loop control and tracking algorithm experimentation within an accessible and unified hardware ...

The Journal of Symbolic Logic, 2013 AbstractWe say that an uncountable metric space is computably categorical if every two computable structures on this space are equivalent up to a computable isometry. We show that Cantor space, the Urysohn space, and every separable Hilbert space are computably categorical, but the space [0, 1] of continuous functions on the unit interval with the ...

Isometric Mapping Hashing [PDF]
, 2015 Hashing is a popular solution to Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) problems. Many hashing schemes aim at preserving the Euclidean distance of the original data. However, it is the geodesic distance rather than the Euclidean distance that more accurately characterizes the semantic similarity of data, especially in a high dimensional space. Consequently,

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Aldosterone‐producing adenomas (APAs) develop via two distinct paths: directly from adrenal zona glomerulosa (zG) cells, or stepwise from zG cells through aldosterone‐producing micronodules (APMs) before progressing to APAs. Advanced single‐cell and spatial analyses identified distinct cell states linked to oxidative stress and cell–cell interactions ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In a randomized clinical trial, we test the potential of combined nicotinamide (NAM) and pyridoxine (PN) to improve muscle recovery through muscle stem cell (MuSC) activity. Daily oral NAM and PN supplementation after high intensity muscle contractions enhances MuSC activation and differentiation, and accelerates muscle regeneration, providing new ...

Hierarchical Artificial Muscle with Nonlinear Elasticity for Antagonistic and Cyclic Robotics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We construct hierarchical muscles by plying nylon fibers around a heating wire. The hierarchical muscle shows a J‐shaped passive curve, which shows benefit in antagonistic muscle pair and work accumulation mechanism. We also develop a computational, first‐principle model to understand the physics of both active actuation stroke and passive J‐curve ...
