Objective: For many decades, the Jendrassik maneuver (JM) has been used as a reinforcement for stretch reflexes, although the underlying mechanism of this reinforcement is still not fully understood.Moreover, the term JM has been used for many different muscle contraction strategies as there is no fixed movement for the maneuver in the literature.I
Cadastres are argued as an essential tool to support land tenure security.Low cadastral coverage in developing countries creates a driver for innovative methods to expedite the mapping processes.As a human construct, the morphology of parcel boundaries is a diverse and complex topic: there are limited generalized rules for identifying, describing,
Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia may result from perifollicular inflammation that destroys hair follicles and replaces them with connective tissue (primary cicatricial alopecia) or from damage done to follicles by other pathology that is not primarily directed against follicles (secondary cicatricial alopecia).Examples of such pathologies are: cutan
Biophysical crop simulation models are normally forced with precipitation data recorded with either gauges or ground-based radar.However, ground-based recording networks are not available at spatial and temporal scales needed to drive the here models at many critical places on earth.An alternative would be to employ satellite-based observations of
Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has become the new gold standard in clinical donor kidney preservation and a promising novel strategy in higher risk donor livers in several countries.As shown by meta-analysis for the kidney, HMP decreases the here risk of delayed graft function (DGF) and improves graft survival.For the liver, HMP immediately pr
