Knee Angle Affects Posterior Chain Muscle Activation During an Isometric Test Used in Soccer Players by Paul James Read (14152221)

“…Results: Within-session reliability showed large variation dependent upon the test position and muscle measured (CV% = 8.8–36.1) Absolute mean EMG activity and percentage of maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) indicated different magnitudes of activation between the two test positions; however, significant mean differences were present for the biceps femoris only with greater activation recorded at the 30° knee angle (% MVIC: 31 ± 9 vs. 22 ± 7; p = 0.002). …”

Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite sedimentation in an arid eolian landscape: The Khor Al Adaid tide-dominated coastal embayment, Qatar by John M., Rivers

“…Such flood-tide dominance of the thalweg is unusual and likely reflects the absence of river discharge. Evidence of significant inverse estuarine circulation (seaward flow of a brine along the embayment floor) is mostly absent in spite of the landward increase of salinity, where concentrations reach more than double normal seawater salinity in the Inner Lagoon. …”
