Purpose. This systematic review critically analyzes the literature on the effectiveness of treadmill training (TT), body-weight- supported TT (BWSTT), and robot-assisted TT (RATT) in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS), with focus on gait-related outcome measurements. Method. Electronic databases (Pubmed, Pedro, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) and reference lists of articles and narrative reviews were searched. Pre-, quasi- and true-experimental studies were included if adult persons with MS were involved in TT, BWSTT, or RATT intervention studies published before 2012. Descriptive analysis was performed and two researchers scored the methodological quality of the studies. Results. 5 true- and 3 preexperimental studies (mean quality score: 66%) have been included.

  • Proposal to Encode Some Outstanding Early Cyrillic Characters in Unicode
    ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2 WG2 N3974 Date: 2011-02-25 PONOMAR PROJECT Proposal to Encode Some Outstanding Early Cyrillic Characters in Unicode n3974 Yuri Shardt, Nikita Simmons, Aleksandr Andreev n3974 1 In old, Slavic documents that come from Eastern Europe in the centuries between A.D. 1400 and 1700, it is possible to come across various unusual characters, whose forms have not yet entered the Unicode repertoire. As well, these symbols can occasionally be found in more resent publications by those Orthodox Christians (Old Believers) that do not accept the typographic changes introduced by Patriarch Nikon in the mid-1600s. The exact forms of these symbols often vary between different places and times. In the interest of creating a standard for faithfully typesetting Slavonic manuscripts, there is a need to include these symbols in Unicode. Since these symbols are often found in Slavonic Church books, these symbols will be encoded in the “Extended Cyrillic Block B” of the Unicode standard. Characters Table 1 presents a summary of the proposed characters for encoding in Unicode: Double O and Crossed O, which are found in many early Slavonic manuscripts. The double o is used in the words двое (two), обо (both), обанадесять (twelve), and двоюнадесять (twelve), where the bold letters denote the usual placement of the proposed double o. This letter would complement the other forms of o that are already present in the Unicode standard, including the monocular o, the binocular o, the double monocular o, and the multiocular o. However, unlike the ocular o’s, which are primarily used in different words denoting eye, the double o is used in words that denote two.

  • Redefining Nuclear Security in an Advanced Nuclear Age—Can the U.S
    REPORT Published July 24, 2018 • 13 minute read Redefining Nuclear Security in an Advanced Nuclear Age—Can the U.S. Regain Security Leadership? Mykael Goodsell-SooTho Suzanne Hobbs Baker Clean Energy Fellow, 2017-2018 Former Visiting Fellow for Nuclear Security @mykael_sootho @SuzyHobbsBaker The United States is losing its leadership role in the global civilian nuclear marketplace. As a result, its inuence on nuclear security is at risk even as US companies are developing a number of innovative reactors that could disrupt the entire nuclear market. Could these advanced reactors be America’s ticket to reclaiming a portion of the lost market share? And if so, how can they also be used to strengthen global nuclear security? Third Way reached out to over 25 experts across disciplines including academic researchers, reactor developers, security and technical experts from NGOs and national labs, and former policymakers to get their take on these issues. After a series of candid, o-the-record conversations, here’s what we learned: 1. More eective coordination between US industry and security leaders could accelerate advanced nuclear deployment; 2. Security considerations need to be “baked-in” to advanced reactors at the design phase; 3. US advanced reactors need to win on cost in order to impact security; 4. Internationally, the United States needs to engage the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to develop global security guidelines and best-practices for advanced reactors; and 5. Domestically, the United States must dedicate signicant attention and resources to a long- term commercialization and deployment strategy for advanced nuclear technology. Before we get into each of these in detail, let’s recap where the United States currently stands in the international nuclear pecking order and how this came to be.
