...During a martial arts demonstration a 16-year-old black belt taekwondo practitioner heard a popping sound and felt a pull in the posterior upper thigh while performing an axe kick. The axe kick motion involves a rotation and flexion of the trunk assisting in a quick flexion of the coxal joint through a swing phase raising the foot at, or above the practitioners’ head height. The motion is immediately followed by extension of the trunk and the coxal joint accelerating the descent of the foot onto its target. The practitioner experienced the occurrence of the injury at the terminal swing phase. She experienced an immediate onset of pain in the right upper hamstring and an inability to remain in an upright position. Flexion, extension, and medial and lateral rotation of the coxal joint results in pain and significant guarding. Diagnosis performed by a sports medicine doctor was a secondary hamstring strain injury (HSI) at the musculotendinous junction of the biceps femoris on the ischial tuberosity. Clinical testing ruled out other pathologies. Initial prescription involved RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) protocols while inflammation is present. During the proliferation phase MICE (Movement, Ice, Compression, Elevation) are implemented to increase range of...

...An Iterated Dynasearch Algorithm for the Single-Machine Total Weighted Tardiness Scheduling Problem Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK Department of Decision and Information Sciences, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, P.O. Box 1738, 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands Richard.Congram@paconsulting.com • C.N.Potts@maths.soton.ac.uk • S.Velde@fac.fbk.eur.nl Richard K. Congram • Chris N. Potts • Steef L. van de Velde T his paper introduces a new neighborhood search technique, called dynasearch, that uses dynamic programming to search an exponential size neighborhood in polynomial time. While traditional local search algorithms make a single move at each iteration, dynasearch allows a series of moves to be performed. The aim is for the lookahead capabilities of dynasearch to prevent the search from being attracted to poor local optima. We evaluate dynasearch by applying it to the problem of scheduling jobs on a single machine to minimize the total weighted tardiness of the jobs. Dynasearch is more effective than traditional first-improve or best-improve descent in our computational tests. Furthermore, this superiority is much greater for starting solutions close to previous local minima. Computational results also show that an iterated dynasearch algorithm in which descents are performed a few random moves away from previous...

...advertisement, it affected me in a good way as I still remember it since it last aired in 2015. In the Mountain Dew commercial, there is a hybrid which consists of a pug head, a monkey’s body, and a baby’s legs. The hybrid enters the room with a bucket of Mountain Dew’s new drink, kick start. The hybrid then starts dancing and handing out the drinks to three teenagers sitting on the couch. It seems as if they are targeting the younger generation. This commercial does not use logos to persuade the audience. The puppy monkey baby is not logical or realistic. This commercial does not use ethos to persuade the audience either. I did not get the impression the person behind the commercial had any good sense because I don’t believe there is such a thing as the puppy monkey baby. This commercial does use pathos to persuade the audience. If I had to guess, they are trying to appeal to the audience’s sense of humor. Perhaps I didn’t find it funny because I was not the generation targeted. When this commercial went off I was so appalled by the hybrid that I didn’t even realize what was being advertised until I looked it up for the purpose of writing this paper. Upon doing research I discovered that the drink kick start is a combination of Mountain Dew, juice, and caffeine. Was the puppy monkey baby supposed to be comparative to a drink that had three...

What individuals experience throughout their life from conception to adulthood is the main thing that actually shapes how they feel/respond and think. Therapists from the earlier days also made a few methodologies and schools of considerations of brain science(psychology). They thought of these ideas via research and study which will be examined more throughout this paper. Biopsychology point of view, Is simply put a school of thought in psychology. Biopsychology is the field that mainly inspects the physical premise of mental phenomena, for example, inspiration, feeling, and even anxiety; additionally this is also called behavioral neuroscience...

...than just a form of self-defense. In fact, martial arts can be beneficial to students of all ages, and particularly to children, in improving physical conditioning, enhancing academic performance, and developing self-control. Martial arts are often grouped as hard or soft styles or traditional or modern. Some styles have a focus on striking techniques versus grappling techniques, and a method of training. For instance, Aikido which is translated as “the way of unifying life energy”, is a method of using the momentum of the attacker and redirecting the attack with throws and pins. Meanwhile, Taekwondo, which is translated as “the way of the foot and hand” is a style that focuses on kicks, strikes and blocking from a standing position, as well as the self-control of pinpoint accuracy. During this paper, I will specifically reference Taekwondo as I...

...Marchese GBLW 435 08 Sept. 2013 GBLW 435 Paper #1 Science to me is the study of our world through on-going experiments and cases. It is a very important topic because through it we are able to understand the environment we live in and how we affect the world. Scientist spend their lives searching for answers so we can better understand the impact we have on the environment and try to find better ways of accomplishing the tasks we face in everyday life. Everything in our world is interrelated, the fossil fuels and other materials that we use every day have a huge effect on the world’s environment. Coal has been used for heating since cavemen were living on the earth. Archeologists have also found evidence that the Romans in England used it in the second and third centuries. Coal, along with other fossil fuels, have been used as a source of energy and have had an effect on our environment. The average amount of carbon dioxide produced per year is 21.3 billion tonnes and our environment can only displace half of that amount, which leads to the pollution of our atmosphere. If the human race continues on its use of heavy fossil fuels the global warming crisis will only become worse along with our living conditions. The process which is used in science is called the scientific method. The scientific method starts with making a hypothesis or a theory, then through testing and researching come to a conclusion about the research they have done. Along with testing and researching...
