Purpose : This paper reviews on the method of PNF stretching. Methods : This is literature study with Pubmed, medline, SPORT Discus, EBSCO, ProQuest and books. Results : PNF stretching is effective for increasing range of motion than static and ballistic stretching. CR(contract-relax) technique is effective and CRAC(contract-relax with agonist contraction) technique including agonist contraction is more effective. A minimum of one repetition, twice or three times per week is required for range of motion gains, needs to be conducted continueously. A minimum of 20% contraction intensity and more than 3 seconds contraction duration are needed to increase range of motion. Inclusion of static stretching of antagonist and agonist contraction is more effective. Conclusions : PNF stretching is more effective for increasing range of motion than other stretching methods, but, clinicians need to select proper techniques according to subjects and muscles, and conduct carefully when applying technique.

The effective charge number and the critical current density of electromigration in eutetic SnPb and Pb Free $(SnAg_{3.8}Cu_{0.7)$ flip chip solder bumps are studied. The effective charge number of electromigration in eutectic SnPb solder is obtained as 34 and the critical current density is $j=0.169{\times}({\delta}_{\sigma}/{\delta}_x})\;A/cm^2,\;where\;({\delta}_{\sigma}/{\delta}_x})$ is the electromigration-induced compressive stress gradient along the length of the line. While the effect of electromigration in Pb free solder is much smaller than that in eutectic SnPb, the product of diffusivity and effective charge number $DZ^{\ast}$ has been assumed as $6.62{\times}10^{-11}$. The critical length for electromigration are also discussed.

In the last few decades there has been much interest in how mathematics can be effectively taught and learnt. The Third Wave is a unique ongoing international collaborative mathematics education research project, which aims to explore the relevant values of effective school mathematics teaching from both the teacher and student perspectives. As part of this project, this study investigates the related findings from students on the Chinese mainland. Multiple data were collected through classroom observations, focus group interviews, and written, open-ended questions. Twenty-four students from junior and senior secondary schools were invited to write down their views on an effective lesson, a good mathematics teacher, and how to do well in mathematics learning. Results showed that among the eight values determined in the study, the values of involvement, explanation, and examples were embraced by students across all grades. Students preferred teacher-led mathematics teaching. Junior secondary students placed more value on teachers' personalities, whereas senior students placed more value on teachers' teaching manners.

When a molecule is perturbed by an external field, the perturbed moecue can be described as a doubly perturbed system. Hartree-Fock operator in the absence of the field is the zeroth order Hamiltonian, and a correlation operator and the external field operator are perturbations. The effective Hamiltonian, which is a projection of the total Hamiltonian onto a small finite subspace (usually a valence space), has been formally derived. The influence of the external field to the molecular Hamiltonian itself has been examined within an effective Hamiltonian framework. The first order effective expectation values, for instance electromagnetic transition amplitudes, between valence states are found to be easily calculated - by simply taking matrix elements of the effective external field operator. Implications of the terms in perturbation expansion are discussed.

The pairing properties of electronic structure are investigated from ab initioists' point of view. Numerical results of exact ab initio effective valence shell Hamiltonian are compared with simple semiempirical Hamiltonian calculations. In the oxygen atom case it was found that effective three-electron interaction terms break the similarity between electron-states and hole-states. With the trans-butadiene as an example the pairing theorem was studied. Even for alternant hydrocarbons, the deviation from the pairing was found to be enormous. The pairing theorem, which is usually stated for semiempirical Hamiltonians, is not valid when the exact effective Hamiltonian is considered. The present study indicates that comparisons between the pairing theorem of semiempirical methods and ab initio effective Hamiltonian give important information on the accuracy of semiempirical methods.

The thermal conductivity of uranium oxide (UO₂) containing pores and grain boundaries is investigated using continuum-level simulations based on the finite-difference method in two and three dimensions. Steady-state heat conduction is solved on microstructures generated from the phase-field model of the porous polycrystal to calculate the effective thermal conductivity of the domain. The effects of porosity, pore size, and grain size on the effective thermal conductivity of UO₂ are quantified. Using simulation results, a new empirical model is developed to predict the effective thermal conductivity of porous polycrystalline UO₂ fuel as a function of porosity and grain size.

Learning has become an important aspect for any organization to stay relevant and competitive in the corporate world of survival. In construction industry, the international construction joint ventures (ICJVs) provide an excellent platform with opportunity of learning among partners seeking to develop new area of competency and improve their overall competitiveness for their next project endeavor. This paper discusses the development of a conceptual model of effective learning in ICJVs using four major stages of development in a typical joint venture (JV) 's process. The study identified that there are three key constructs that contribute to effective learning comprising learning conditions in the JV's pre-inception stage, success factors of JV for learning in the forming & organizing stage, and learning actions in the implementation & adjustment stage. The effective learning outcomes are measured by the characteristics of learning organization during the JV's completion & evaluation stage. Details and issues of each stage and the methodology of research will be presented and discussed.

Based on the modified effective index method, analysis of dielectric rectangular waveguides and directional couplers are presented. Aside from the effective index concept of channel region, the equivalent index concept of cladding region is proposed. The error problem of eigenvalues, which has been experienced when the effective index method is used, is improved. Our approxiamtions give similar accuracy when compared with the results of other regorous approxiamtion techiniques. The advantage of the modified effective index methods is utilized by replacing the directional coupler with the equivalent slab guides, and the coupling constant is calculated by the coupled mode theory. The effectiveness of the equivalent index concept is positively confirmed.

The characteristics of fatigue crack growth subject to out-of-plane bending fatigue are studied in terms of crack opening behavior by using pre-cracked smooth specimens. Crack opening stress is measured by an elastic compliance method which may precisely and continuously provide many date using strain gages during experiment. The results of the short crack and the long crack arranged by crack closure concept show that the effective stress gange ratio of short crack is grester than that of long crack, and ano- malous growth behavior of short crack may be elucidated by the variation of crack opening stress. When the variation of fatigue crack growth rate is arranged versus effective stress intensity factor range. Iinear relation is held also for the short crack. It shows that growth behavior of short crack can be quantitatively represent- ed by the fracture mechanics parameter using effective stress intensity factor range.

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318-11 permits the use of the moment magnifier method for computing the design ultimate strength of slender reinforced concrete columns that are part of braced frames. This computed strength is influenced by the column effective length factor K, the equivalent uniform bending moment diagram factor $C_m$ and the effective flexural stiffness EI among other factors. For this study, 2,960 simple braced frames subjected to short-term loads were simulated to investigate the effect of using different methods of calculating the effective length factor K when computing the strength of columns in these frames. The theoretically computed column ultimate strengths were compared to the ultimate strengths of the same columns computed from the ACI moment magnifier method using different combinations of equations for K and EI. This study shows that for computing the column ultimate strength, the current practice of using the Jackson-Moreland Alignment Chart is the most accurate method for determining the effective length factor. The study also shows that for computing the column ultimate strength, the accuracy of the moment magnifier method can be further improved by replacing the current ACI equation for EI with a nonlinear equation for EI that includes variables affecting the column stiffness and proposed in an earlier investigation.
