Context: Up to 90% of pediatric athletes return to sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R); however, <50% RTS at the same level and second ACL injury rates are up to 32%. Objectives: (1) Determine which physical and patient-reported outcome measures guide clinical decision-making …

Asymmetric heterotic orbifolds are discussed from the worldsheet perspective. Starting from Buscher’s gauging of a theory of D compact bosons the duality covariant description of Tseytlin is obtained after a non–Lorentz invariant gauge fixing. A left–over of the gauge symmetry can be used to removed …

Agriculture is the largest employer of labour force in Nigeria employing about 70 percent of the country’s workforce and contributed 21.42% to the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2018. Poultry is one important component of livestock serving as a source of dietary protein. In addition, the poultry industry …

A rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common sports injuries worldwide, and also one of the most devastating injuries of the knee. An ACL injury happens mostly to young athletes (aged 14-40) who participate in landing, cutting and pivoting sports with fast decelerations, …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the current study was to compare the results of a progressive strength training protocol for soccer players after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with healthy controls, and to investigate the effects of the strength training protocol on peak quadriceps and …

Inleiding: Binnen dit onderzoek stond de vraag centraal welk testprotocol van fysieke, psychologische en sociale testen het best bruikbaar is om vast te stellen wanneer voetballers klaar zijn voor de return to play na een voorste kruisbandreconstructie. Tot nu toe is er veel onderzoek gedaan naar de …

We consider an environment in which several independent service providers can collaborate by pooling their critical, low-utilization resources that are subject to unavailability. We examine the allocation of the joint profit for such a pooled situation by studying an associated cooperative game. For …

Hop tests are frequently used to determine return to sports (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Given that bilateral deficits are present after ACLR, this may result in a falsely high limb symmetry index (LSI), since LSI is calculated as a ratio between the values of the limbs.HypothesisAthletes …

The selectivity of the separation of some anthocyanins on Diasphere-11-C10CN stationary phase (phase I) is compared with the traditional reversed Symmetry C18 phase (phase II). It is found that, in contrast to phase II, phase I is effective in the separation of isomeric pairs of anthocyanins of 6-hydroxycyanidin- …
