A Kinematic Analysis of the Gallop of the Horse (Biomechanics, Gait, Equine, Locomotion, Canter)
… in a kinematic analysis of the equine transverse gallop gait. The stride characteristics of 4 American Quarter Horse fillies were used as a model. Horses were approximately 30 months of age and had been raised in similar environments. During a 12-week preparatory period horses were housed and fed …

Mammal and bird trackways in the Miocene Horse Spring Formation, Clark County, Nevada
… is apparently the fist documentation of a rotary gallop gait in Miocene canids. Five types of bird tracks, four of which are previously undescribed, also occur. They are: (1) Alaripeda lofgreni, (2) Avipeda sp. A, (3) Avipeda sp. B, (4) Anatipeda sp. A, and (5) a new, previously undescribed track …

Acute endomyocardial disease in infants and children : the relationship between acute myocarditis and endocardial fibroelastosis
… of myocardial involvement (heart failure, gallop rhythm or shock), radiological cardiomegaly (CTR > 0.55), and ST/T wave changes on electrocardiogram (ECG). Acute EMD was confirmed in all 20 patients who came to autopsy. A further 17 patients with insufficient clinical data had EMD at …

Characterization of gait energetics for electrically actuated quadrupeds
… Analysis of trotting, pronking, bounding and galloping gaits reveals trotting to be the most energetically efficient gait across Froude numbers from 0.2 to 45. This trend represents a significant difference from animals, which transition to a gallop at a Froude number between 2 to 3.

Aspects of respiratory function during exercise in the thoroughbred horse in health and disease
… a warm up followed by two minute canters/gallops at increasing workloads separated by ten minute walks. Validation studies confirmed the suitability of the methods for these studies. A steady state for respiratory variables was reached by ninety seconds of canter/gallop. The effects of …

Using evolutionary artificial neural networks to design hierarchical animat nervous systems.
… controllers. Gaits such as pace, trot, gallop and pronk were successfully created using the CPGs. Experiments were conducted to determine whether modularity in the networks had an impact. It has been demonstrated that the degree of modularization in the network influences its …

The process of change in non-residential therapeutic communities
… work (Cleary, Siegfried & Walter, 2002; Fraser & Gallop, 1993). This may impact on service users’ experiences of mental health care. Thus, understanding more about the experience of this work may help improve staff’s experiences and provision of health care for service users. Correspondingly, a …

A Study of Two Urban Middle Schools: Discipline Practices Used to Control Disruptive Behavior of Students
… facing schools ( Cotton, 2001; Elam, Rose, & Gallop, 1998; Fitzsimmons, 1998; Killion, 1998). An assumption in managing problem behaviors in many urban schools is that punishment will change behavior. According to Skiba and Peterson (2000), severe and penalizing disciplinary policies …

Development of manufacturing technique for composite structures for robotic applications
… and construct a robot capable of a high speed gallop. This thesis began exploring methods of fabricating parts for one of the legs of the platform, specifically a radius part. Manufactured components needed to be both light in weight to facilitate ease of movement for the robot and strong …

Patterns of Symptom Improvement among Depressed Adolescents treated with Interpersonal Psychotherapy Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST) in School Based Clinics
… compared to school counseling (Young, Mufson and Gallop, 2010). In this investigation, we sought to compare the trends in symptomatic improvement among 32 participants treated with IPT-AST over eight weeks. Clusters of mood/ motivation and vegetative symptoms were followed from baseline to the end …

Analysis of movement in pace and tölt in the Icelandic horse
… horse breed and in addition to walk, trot and gallop it has the ability to tölt and pace. These two gaits are from a biomechanical standpoint very similar and it is therefore not always easy to distinguish between them. The aim of this thesis was to objectively measure the major spatial and …

Riding Ability in Icelandic Horses – Effect of Conformation and the ‘Gait Keeper’ Mutation in the DMRT3 Gene
… performed better beat and suspension in trot and gallop. These results indicate that the AA genotype reinforces the coordination of ipsilateral limbs, with the subsequent negative effect on the synchronized movement of diagonal limbs compared with the CA genotype. Change in the frequency of the …
