Static stretching (SS) is widely used to decrease and retain the passive stiffness of the muscle-tendon unit in clinical and athletic settings.It is important to consider the minimum SS duration required to decrease the passive stiffness of the hamstring, from the perspective of injury prevention of the hamstring muscle.The purpose of this study wa
The rapid proliferation of the Internet of Things Griddle Accessory (IoT) poses significant challenges for utility optimization in sharding blockchain systems.In this paper, we propose a Committee Scheduling Algorithm (CSA), which employs an iterative optimization framework based on the Markov chain to balance transaction throughput, cumulative lat
Background and Objectives.Risk-tolerance measures from patient-preference studies typically focus on individual adverse events.We recently introduced an approach that extends maximum acceptable risk (MAR) calculations to simultaneous maximum acceptable risk thresholds (SMART) for multiple treatment-related risks.We extend these methods to include t
One of the most powerful techniques for studying the function of a gene is to disrupt the expression of that gene using genetic engineering strategies such as targeted recombination or viral integration of gene trap cassettes.The tremendous utility of these tools was recognized this year with the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicin
