the effect of leg dominance on lower limb kinematics during a 180° pivot maneuver in healthy female soccer players at three different stages of physical maturation
(2016)the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of leg dominance on lower limb kinematics during a 180° pivot maneuver in healthy female soccer players at three different stages of maturation: pre-pubertal, pubertal, ... -
autonomous navigation using image processing
(2016)in the recent years, the pursuit intelligent and self-operated machines have increased. the human user is to be completely eliminated or minimized as much as possible. it is also popular now to observe machines that are ... -
incorporating operational road planning constraints into an integrated tactical level harvest-scheduling and road-planning model
(2015)at the operational scale of forest planning, the location of roads, in a complex terrain, is a decision of major economic importance. the objective is to locate a network of roads connecting pre-selected cut-blocks, at ... -
technical and technological alternatives for aerial moose (alces alces) survey
(2017)moose (alces alces) aerial surveys provide the information needed for effective management only when they are accurate and precise. i aimed to identify gaps in and improve understanding of aerial moose surveys in north ... -
bioconversion of crude glycerol to biofuels and value-added bioproducts
(2017)increasing demand and the rising cost of fossil fuels, as well as a concern for global climate change have shifted global efforts to utilize renewable resources for the production of a ‘greener’ energy replacement. biodiesel, ... -
sedimentology and paleogeographic reconstruction of the strata in and adjacent to the sudbury impact layer in the northern paleoproterozoic animikie basin
(2016)the sudbury impact layer (s.i.l.) is dated at 1850 ma and is located between the underlying gunflint formation, with an age of 1878±1 ma that was obtained from zircons in a tuffaceous zone approximately 105 meters below ... -
effects of process operating conditions on performance and membrane fouling in submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactors (anmbrs)
(2016)submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (sanmbr) technology is becoming an attractive alternative for industrial wastewater treatment as it improves the biological process while allowing for the recovery of energy through ... -
an intelligent system for temperature monitoring and brake drum cooling
(2018)brakes convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy due to friction between fixed and moving brake parts. frequent applications of the brakes will cause overheating in brake parts, which could generate ... -
new generation of dispersants by grafting lignin or xylan
(2017)synthetic dispersants are commonly used in the stabilization of various colloidal suspensions. however, their non-biodegradable and toxic natures hamper their industrial use. the use of natural polymers as dispersants for ... -
kinetic and thermodynamic studies on pyrolysis of waste hdpe polymers
(2017)pyrolysis is a promising technology for converting waste plastic into high-value hydrocarbons, which can help to protect the environment and improve the waste management industry. available methods for finding kinetic ... -
in vivo assessment of leucine stimulated glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue
(2017)activation of brown adipose tissue in mice, through the use of the amino acid leucine, was investigated. brown adipose tissue has become a topic of interest in recent years, as activation of this tissue has been proposed ... -
contextualized garden-based mathematics
(2018)research has investigated the use of locally valued activities to contextualize mathematics for first nations 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 ; for example, beatty and blair (2015), lipka, sharp, adams, and sharp (2007) , nicol, archibald, and ... -
deploying an unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) equipped with a multispectral sensor for detecting between differing levels of barley (h vulgare l.) fungal diseases in northern ontario
(2017)to date, no studies exist exploring the multispectral detection of fungal diseases in barley (h vulgare l.) with uav imagery. the purpose of this work was to determine if the spectral response (vi) of barley fungicide ... -
diatoms as an indicator of pharmaceutical contamination in a freshwater system
(2018)historically, microalgae have been used as bio-indicators of aquatic health and this can be seen in several studies across the world. often at the bottom of the food chain, microalgae constitute the primary producer of ... -
exploring older adult male participation in a free, biweekly, group-based, indoor walking initiative
(2018)aging is an inevitable part of life that ushers individuals across the life course (bryant, corbett, & kutner, 2001; kirk-sanchez & mcgough, 2013; song & kong, 2015). the chronological age of 65 is mainly associated with ... -
habitat selection in the common five-lined skink near the northern extent of its range
(2016)the study of habitat selection is vital to identify potential threats and to conserve species at risk. the consequences of living in a particular habitat can influence processes beyond the individual with observable effects ... -
increased production of cellulosic sugars from lignocellulosic materials
(2018)renewable energy is energy that is regenerated naturally for infinite time. renewable energy can be categorized into solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, and biomass. biomass is an organic material such as agricultural, forest ... -
comparing aboriginal community-based criteria and indicators in forest management planning
(2018)criteria and indicator (c&i) frameworks have been developed and implemented on national and international scales to measure sustainable forest management. the purpose of this research is to examine the reasons why ... -
