Biomechanical limb asymmetries exist during a 45° sidestep cut among male and female recreational athletes post anterior cruciate ligament construction.

Creator:: Kaiyala, Montana E.
Abstract:: Background: 250,000+ individuals injure an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the United States annually. Individuals post-ACL surgical reconstruction (ACLR) are at elevated risk for ACL re-injury, potentially from kinematic and kinetic asymmetries. While studies have examined asymmetries at the hip and knee post-ACLR during landing, less is known about asymmetries...

New Strategies to Develop Hidden Markov Models Combining KEGG and Pfam

Creator:: Gupta, Sonica
Abstract:: Profile Hidden Markov Models utilize the information stored in a multiple sequence alignment such as its residues and conserved regions to assign probabilities at each column. This indicates areas in the sequences where similar functionality is observed. These probability weights are then combined to assign a sequence score, which is...
