Outpatient Physical Therapy Management of a Patient Presenting with Double Crush Syndrome: A Case Study.
Background and Purpose. This case study evaluates the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions in the treatment of a patient presenting with a potential Double Crush Syndrome.
Case Description. This patient was a 59-year-old male with reports of right shoulder pain and right upper extremity paresthesia, numbness, and tingling affecting his ability to perform daily tasks at work and at home.
Interventions. The physical therapy interventions given were all based on findings from the initial evaluation and included a mixture of manual therapy techniques such as shoulder mobilizations, therapeutic exercises/activities such as stretching, resistance training, and carries, and neuromuscular re-education such as nerve flossing and postural retraining.
Outcomes. The patient saw great improvements in symptoms over the episode of care and was able to get back to doing daily and work tasks with less pain and difficulty.
Discussion. The patient responded favorably to the interventions provided. Ongoing research is suggested in order to optimize patient treatment protocols when dealing with similar cases
Recollections about father
I have prepared a sketch of my father as a person rather than as a teacher of accounting, a university administrator and an author of textbooks and numerous articles in accounting journals. Hopefully this will be of help to those who did not know my father

Validation of an Outdoor-based Passive Optoelectric Motion Capture System
The purpose of this study was to validate the quality of data captured outdoors in full sunlight using a passive optoelectric camera system. A golf swing analysis was performed outdoors and indoors using the same system; the outdoor collection was performed in full sunlight. Golf club rotation (deg) and angular velocity (deg•s-1 ) data were calculated about the X, Y, and Z axes of the golf club for a single male subject. Outdoor and indoor angle and angular velocity data were similar about each of the three primary axes of the club, with r values ≥ 0.970. The highest correlation values were found to exist among the angle data. This study demonstrated that data quality captured with an outdoor system is comparable in quality to data captured indoors
Scalar Perturbations in Scalar Field Quantum Cosmology
In this paper it is shown how to obtain the simplest equations for the
Mukhanov-Sasaki variables describing quantum linear scalar perturbations in the
case of scalar fields without potential term. This was done through the
implementation of canonical transformations at the classical level, and unitary
transformations at the quantum level, without ever using any classical
background equation, and it completes the simplification initiated in
investigations by Langlois \cite{langlois}, and Pinho and Pinto-Neto
\cite{emanuel2} for this case. These equations were then used to calculate the
spectrum index of quantum scalar perturbations of a non-singular
inflationary quantum background model, which starts at infinity past from flat
space-time with Planckian size spacelike hypersurfaces, and inflates due to a
quantum cosmological effect, until it makes an analytical graceful exit from
this inflationary epoch to a decelerated classical stiff matter expansion
phase. The result is , incompatible with observations.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, accepted version to Physical Review D 7
Research Notes : United States : Allelism tests of T218H and T225H
Genetic type T218M was found in \u27Illini\u27 in 1952 at Urbana, IL. T218H was derived from T218M by crossing a yellow branch as male parent with Illini. The F1 plants were green. Segregation in the F2 gave 3 green: 1 yellow lethal plants. F2 green plants gave ratios of 1 nonsegregating: 2 segregating prog-enies in the F3 generation, confirming monogenic inheritance (Palmer, 1978, unpublished). The recessive allele is carried as the heterozygote in T218H
The clustering and bias of radio-selected AGN and star-forming galaxies in the COSMOS field
Dark matter haloes in which galaxies reside are likely to have a significant
impact on their evolution. We investigate the link between dark matter haloes
and their constituent galaxies by measuring the angular two-point correlation
function of radio sources, using recently released 3 GHz imaging over $\sim 2 \
