Algorithm and mathematical model for geometric positioning of segments on aspherical composite mirror by B. Conquet, L. F. Zambrano, N. K. Artyukhina, R. V. Fiodоrtsev, A. R. Silie

“…This approach allows: to expand the spectral operating range from 0.2 to 11.0 μm and to increase the diameter of the entrance pupil of the receiving optical system, while maintaining the optimal value of the exponent mS– mass per unit area.Two variants of adjusting the position of mirror segments are considered when forming an aspherical surface of the second order, with respect to the base surface of the nearest sphere, including geometrical and opto-technical positioning.The purpose of the research was to develop an algorithm for solving the problem of geometric positioning of hexagonal segments of a mirror telescope, constructing an optimal circuit for traversing elements when aligning to the nearest radius to an aspherical surface, and also to program the output calculation parameters to verify the adequacy of the results obtained.Various methods for forming arrays from regular hexagonal segments with equal air gaps between them are considered. …”

The effects of nine types of exercise rehabilitation therapies on improving limb balance, cognitive and emotional function, and quality of life in elderly patients with Parkinson’s... by Jing Mao, Jing Mao, Yi Xia, Yimin Hu, Xuewu Yao

“…In terms of enhancing cognitive function, mind-body exercise (MBE) emerged as the optimal choice (SMD = −1.42, 95% CI [−2.01, −0.84], p < 0.0001), while resistance training (RT) was most effective in improving quality of life (SMD = 1.83, 95% CI [0.41, 4.07], p < 0.0001).ConclusionDance (DA) is the most effective intervention for improving balance, while aquatic training (ABT) and resistance training (RT) are most effective for emotional regulation. …”

Arthroscopic Management of Posterior Elbow Impingement by Melissa L. Carpenter BS, Jose F. Vega MD, Cameron Gerhold BS, Michael J. Murray BS, Trevor A. Poulson MS, Nikhil N. Verma MD

“…Background: Posterior elbow impingement is often seen in athletes who engage in overhead sports that involve repetitive elbow extension; for these patients with persistent symptoms, arthroscopic debridement is often recommended. While traditionally performed in the supine or prone position, arthroscopic elbow debridement performed in the lateral decubitus position has distinct advantages that make it our preferred method. …”
