BACKGROUND |
Although the effects of both the surfaces and plantar angles on equine locomotion have been widely discussed, limited scientific data are available. |
METHODS |
Our objectives were to determine the effects of two surfaces (asphalt and sand) and of 3-degree hind toe or heel elevation on horse kinematics in an experimental study. Six saddle horses were shod with a reference shoeing (REF), characterized by a fore aluminium (REF F) and hind steel racehorse (REF H) shoeing. Two dim... |
RESULTS |
On asphalt versus sand, horses had, at the trot, a shorter stride duration and forelimb maximal retraction, and at walk and trot, a greater fetlock, carpus, elbow and tarsus extension, a greater fore and hind limbs maximal protraction and a shorter hind limbs maximal retraction. Increasing the plantar angle decreased t... |
CONCLUSIONS |
These findings could be useful to adapt rehabilitation programs related to fore and hind limb pathologies, at slow gaits.03 10 33 6 v 1 1 3 O ct 2 00 3 The Ensemble Photometric Variability of ∼ 25000 Quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey |
Using a sample of over 25000 spectroscopically confirmed quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we show how quasar variability in the rest frame optical/UV regime depends upon rest frame time lag, luminosity, rest wavelength, redshift, the presence of radio and X-ray emission, and the presence of broad absorption l... |

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are highly heritable, yet relatively few associated genetic loci have been replicated. Copy number variations (CNVs) have been implicated in autism; however, the majority of loci contribute to <1% of the disease population. Therefore, independent studies are important to refine associat... |
A family of Schwartz functions W ( t ) are interpreted as eigensolutions of MADEs in the sense that W ( δ ) ( t ) = E W ( q γ t ) where the eigenvalue E ∈ R is independent of the advancing parameter q > 1 . The parameters δ , γ ∈ N are characteristics of the MADE. Some issues, which are related to corresponding q-advan... |
