sprains over a period of 2 competitive seasons. The authors asserted that the figure-eight taping method in combination with a high support trainer would produce an injury occurrence of 6.5 every 1‚000 games. Players that were not taped produced 30.4 injury occurrences per 1000 games and when taped with the low support yielded 17.6 injuries per 1‚000 games. The authors determined that taping confines the occurrence of ankle sprain and that the use of high-top or low-top shoes also play a role. Subsequent

BLUE BRAIN 1. Introduction The name of the world’s first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as human brain. Computer simulations in neuroscience hold the promise of dramatically enhancing the scientific method by providing a means to test hypotheses using predictive models of complex biological processes where experiments are not feasible. Of course‚ simulations are only as good as the quality of the data and the accuracy of the mathematical abstraction of the biological
