Flexion and Extension : Studies Employing Muscles of the Shank in Amphibians
Tibialis anticus and peronaeus longus of the frog have been examined by optical and electron microscopy. Sodium and potassium concentrations of these muscles have been determined. Double myograms have been used to compare physiological and pharmacological properties of flexor and extensor and to …

Single shear vs. double shear for nails in lateral loading
… limit show that low-carbon-steel plain-shank and helically threaded Screwtite nails loaded in double shear carry twice the single-shear loads; while hardened high-carbon-steel plain-shank and Screwtite nails loaded in double shear carry considerably less than twice the single-shear …

Bilateral Asymmetry in Chickens of Different Genetic backgrounds
… F1 crosses. The bilateral traits were 39-day shank length and length and weight of the first primary wing feather. Shank length was again measured on day 49 while body, heart, shank, and lung weights and ceca lengths were obtained on day 56. Heterosis was positive for organ sizes and negative …

Lower Extremity Coordination Pattern Stability During a Single-leg Hop for Distance
… and between leg segment couples (foot-shank, shank-thigh and thighpelvis ). There were no statistical differences between the dominant and nondominant legs of the healthy participants. Comparison of the CAI and healthy participants revealed a statistical trend towards increased DP …

Evaluating the potential of aerial remote sensing in flue-cured tobacco
… of detecting Phytophthora nicotianae (black shank) incidence in flue-cured tobacco. In 2017, UAV-acquired ENDVI surveys demonstrated the ability to consistently separate between flue-cured tobacco varieties and nitrogen rates from topping to harvest. In 2018, ENDVI revealed significant …

Kinematic coupling between the foot and lower limb during gait
… coupling between the forefoot, rearfoot and shank by manipulating step width, running speed, foot strike pattern and mode of gait (run versus walk). Kinematic coupling was assessed by determining how well matched the angular displacements of two adjacent segments (e. g rearfoot …

Validation of a novel 2D motion analysis system to the gold standard in 3D motion analysis for calculation of sagittal plane kinematics
… (100Hz). Parameters under investigation were shank to vertical angle, thigh to vertical angle, and knee joint centre flexion angle. Data processing was carried out using Nexus 1.8.2 for Vicon and VOHM for video data. Data analysis was performed using Matlab, SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Intra …

Influence of Transplanter Modification and Previous Crop on the Production of No-Till Dark Tobacco
… accommodate row cleaners and coulters. Tillage shanks were also added to aid in optimal furrow formation. Double-disc opening shoes replaced the original round point shoes and the curved edges of the rear drive wheels were removed, creating a flat surface to increase soil contact. Experimental …

Evaluating Coordination and Variability Within Collegiate Basketball Players Using Vector Coding
… were recorded for the pelvis, thigh and shank. Participants were split into two groups based on their standing height. The thigh-shank couple revealed very similar coordination patterns, regardless of the group, but the pelvis-thigh couple had a much greater amount of variability, which …

Effects of disbudding, defoliating, tipping, and pruning on young, potted apple trees
… Final dry weights of the basal stem, roots, and shank were reduced by pruning or defoliation. Lateral shoot growth induced by pruning caused an initial decrease in the shank diameter and root and shank dry weights of potted apple trees.

Gene action in the inheritance of agronomic traits in intervarietal diallel crosses and relative importance of gene effects for quantitative characters in Zea mays L
… and ear height, weight with and without husk, shank and ear length, ear and cob diameter, kernel depth, and mid-silking days. Additive effects and environmental variations were significantly different from zero for April, June, and Combined dates of planting. Estimates of the component of …

The effect of ankle-foot orthosis on gait and the procedures used to assess bi-articular muscle length and spasticity in subjects with diplegic cerebral palsy
… effect of optimisation of the temporal midstance shank kinematics with the use of an AFO- FC on several variables including shank kinematics, thigh kinematics, vertical component of ground reaction force (FZ2) and ground reaction force (GRF) alignment in relation to hip and knee joint in temporal …

Habitat Selection and Sexual Suggestion of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep in Custer State Park, South Dakota
… by Geist (1971), Geist and Petocz (1977), Shank (1979), Morgantini and Hudson (1981), and Hogg (1983), where ram herds consist of mature males approximately 4 years old and older and ewe herds are comprised of all other individuals. Geist (1971), Shank (1979), and Hogg (1983) have shown …

Kinematics of drop punt kicking in Australian rules football - comparison of skilled and less skilled kicking
… and the forward rotation of the distal segment (shank) follows. PDS motions are also typified by a higher angular velocity of the distal segment (shank). Studies that have compared the difference between skilled and less skilled kickers in Australian Rules football have found that the difference …

3-D optical waveguide arrays for in-vivo optogenetics : development and application
… developed to fabricate both single- and multi-shank probe geometries with integrated waveguides. Methods were developed to assemble the multi-shank probes into a 3D format using discrete monolithic silicon pieces. Three coupling schemes were developed to couple light to both single- and …

Differences in Maximal Speed Running Between Baseball Players and Sprinters
… stride length, center of mass at touchdown and shank angle were measured. ANOVA with repeated measures found that sprinters and baseball players display significant differences in their sprinting technique in all variables except shank angle with the sprinters displaying a shorter 10 m split …

Understanding the effects of wearing a quantitatively prescribed passive-dynamic ankle-foot orthosis on the mechanical cost-of-transport and gait velocity in individuals post-stroke
… orthoses (PD-AFOs) to aid in the control of shank forward rotation during mid-to- terminal stance due to plantar flexor weakness. PD-AFO bending stiffness is a key orthotic characteristic that can assist the plantar flexor muscles by providing the resistance needed to control shank forward …
