A Review of the Treatment and Prevention Options for Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) is a chronic lower-limb injury that effects a large population of athletes and exercisers. There is no definitive knowledge on what causes this injury, making prevention and treatment difficult. The purpose of this thesis is to identify the prevention and treatment methods for MTSS that seem the most promising. The risk factors of MTSS and possible preventative methods are first presented. Following this is an overview of both traditional and cutting-edge treatment options. One of the major conclusions reached in this thesis is that prevention of MTSS is often easier than treating it after onset. This thesis therefore highlights the need for a shift in emphasis from treatment to prevention of MTSS and presents practical ways to do so. This thesis also points to the need for continuing research, especially into less conventional treatment methods
Logic Programming with Default, Weak and Strict Negations
This paper treats logic programming with three kinds of negation: default,
weak and strict negations. A 3-valued logic model theory is discussed for logic
programs with three kinds of negation. The procedure is constructed for
negations so that a soundness of the procedure is guaranteed in terms of
3-valued logic model theory.Comment: 14 pages, to appear in Theory and Practice of Logic Programming

q-Analogues of the Barnes multiple zeta functions
In this paper, we introduce -analogues of the Barnes multiple zeta
functions. We show that these functions can be extended meromorphically to the
whole plane, and moreover, tend to the Barnes multiple zeta functions when
for all complex numbers.Comment: 13 page
