  • 1. Electricity Generators and Car Exhausts Contamination and Impact of Lead on Human Beings
    ABSTRACTS OF THE 3RD CEECHE CONFERENCE · 2008; 14(1):5–116 1. Electricity generators and car exhausts contamination and impact of lead on human beings ALI ABBAS, MODHAFAR AHMED Mosul University, Iraq, [email protected] Lead is one of the most important elements that contributes to the impact on human brain. It’s in the body from many variable sources. This metal has been of great interest of the specialists and the public, including researchers dealing with the topics of pollution of the air, water, oil, food and their impact on most of the organs. Because of the obvious effect on human beings, in the various countries of the world it is probably one of the sources of appearance of generations with impaired mental health if exposed to high concentration of lead. The agencies responsible for health globally and locally for the legislation of the various dimensions of the metal particulates are of great importance. Most sources of lead that accompany our daily lives need health aware- ness as the lead does not only affect the brain, but it may cause anemia and affect the fertility of men and women, may cause severe pain in the abdomen and may have an impact on the central nervous system, too. The most important sources of lead exposure are automobile fuel (diesel & gasoline), dyes, food stored in metal cans, coloured soil and house dust. This research aimed to study the impact of lead emitted from the electricity generators and car exhausts on plant life, soil dust and human blood of the citizens of Mosul city.

RaevskiÏ All-Russia Research Institute of Experimental Physics, Russian Federal Nuclear Center, Sarov, Nizhni Novgorod oblast, 607190 Russia e-mail: [email protected] Received December 30, 2002 Abstract—The perturbation evolution at the interface between identical metals (metal plates) that is exposed to high-speed oblique shock waves is observed experimentally for the first time (the waves are attached to the point of contact, so that a cumulative jet cannot form). The experiments are numerically simulated by the two- dimensional Lagrange method. An elastoplastic model where the dynamic yield strength is a function of mate- rial state parameters is employed. An analytical technique to treat instability development under given loading conditions is suggested. High strains produce a high-temperature zone near the interface (thermal softening zone). A short-lived shear flow with a high velocity gradient depending on the angle and velocity of plate col- lision is observed. In this zone, the shear modulus and the yield strength are appreciably lower than under nor- mal conditions, which favors instability development. © 2003 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”.

  • The Influence of Karate Training on Postural Stability
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Kinesiology Department THE INFLUENCE OF KARATE TRAINING ON POSTURAL STABILITY A Thesis in Kinesiology by Dane Sutton 2012 Dane Sutton Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2012 ii The thesis of Dane Sutton was reviewed and approved* by the following: John H. Challis Professor of Kinesiology Thesis Advisor William E. Buckley Professor of Exercise and Sport Science and Health Education R. Scott Kretchmar Professor of Exercise and Sport Science David E. Conroy Professor of Kinesiology Program Director, Graduate Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This paper explores two issues of importance for fall prevention programs. First, do relatively short 15-week postural stability enhancement programs produce meaningful improvements as measured by center of pressure (COP) metrics? Secondly, does a 15-week training program in Karate produce better results than a Strength Training program? Individual program evaluations, and between program comparisons, are based on pre- and post-training COP metrics. Injuries incurred from falls are a major public health concern. In the U.S., falls are the leading cause of injury across all ages. The morbidity and mortality rates increase dramatically for the segment of the population over the age of 65. Researchers have thus investigated various forms of exercise for their potential to improve postural stability. One fall prevention strategy that has received much attention recently is the use of the ancient martial art of T’ai Chi to improve balance.
