Effectiveness of Contract Relax Antagonist Contraction Technique and Muscle Energy Techniques to Improve Hamstring Muscles Flexibility in Collegiate Females
Abstract: Background: Flexibility is an essential element of normal biomechanical functioning in daily life. The hamstring muscles are important to control the human movement and are thus involved in activities such as running, jumping and a range of postural actions. The hamstring muscle tightness produces decreased range of motion and reduced flexibility of the pelvis, hip and knee joints. Muscle stiffness of the lower extremities and the subsequent decrease in joint …

A Review on the Clinical and Pathological Significance of Prorenin Receptor [(P)RR]
Abstract: The (pro)renin receptor (P)RR discovery, which is a novel constituent of Renin Angiotensin-Aldosteron System (RAS) has brought renin and (pro)renin back into spotlight. The (P)RR binds both renin and its inactive precursor (pro)renin, this binding triggers a cascade of intracellular signalling that eventually leads to upregulation of the expression of profibrotic genes, potentially leading to pathogenesis of cardiac and renal fibrosis, growth and remodelling. Clinically, it is also seen that …

AI-Accelerated Development of Gradient Polymer Nanocomposite Thin Films
Abstract: Gradient polymer nanocomposite thin films are an active field of materials research due to the fact that it enables scientists to de-facto regulate the optical, electrical, and mechanical properties of a film by merely altering its composition on a layer-by-layer basis. This type of control opens the gate to the improved flexible electronics, long lasting protective coats, and the new smart gadgets. The problem is, though, that it is a …

Flow Simulation and Experimental Comparative Study of Aerodynamic Forces on NACA 2415 Airfoil Scaled Model
Abstract: Aerodynamic force, which would be brought upon by the relative motion of an object and the airflow, is the force that the air in which the body is submerged exerts on the body. The normal force resulting from force on the body's surface and the shear force resulting from airflow viscosity, also known as skin friction, are the two sources of aerodynamic force. Shear force is applied locally and parallel …
