It is known that the lifting scheme, as conventionally desc...

Introduction: In order to achieve a higher success rate for tympanoplasty, different techniques have been developed, and a wide variety of grafting materials have been developed. One of the techniques currently receiving considerable attention involves not lifting the remaining of eardrum from the malleus and embedding the graft underneath in order to repair the eardrum correctly in its origina...

Fast lifting wavelet transform is a technique which replaces standard discrete wavelet transform used in computation of wavelet coefficients. The idea of lifting comes from the lifting scheme, a method used in wavelet design. The standard method relies on convolution of the original signal with FIR filter structures. Fast lifting scheme basically breaks up the original filters into a series of ...

We introduce the notion of an equational lifting monad: a commutative strong monad satisfying one additional equation (valid for monads arising from partial map classifiers). We prove that any equational lifting monad has a representation by a partial map classifier such that the Kleisli category of the former fully embeds in the partial category of the latter. Thus equational lifting monads pr...

BACKGROUND In this study, kinematics and kinetics of the lower extremity joint and the lumbar lordosis during two different symmetrical lifting techniques(squat and stoop) were examined using the three-dimensional motion analysis. METHODS Twenty-six young male volunteers were selected for the subjects in this study. While they lifted boxes weighing 5, 10 and 15 kg by both squat and stoop lift...

This paper presents a new trapped-field magnet made of second-generation high-temperature superconducting (2G HTS) rings. This so-called ring-shape 2G HTS magnet has the potential to provide much stronger magnetic fields relative to existing permanent magnets. Compared to existing 2G HTS trappedfield magnets, e.g. 2G HTS bulks and stacks, this new ring-shape 2G HTS magnet is more flexible in si...

It has been known for some time that high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are critical for the construction of NMR magnets generating 1 GHz and above. Such systems generally require an HTS insert to be placed in the inner high-field region of a low temperature superconducting (LTS) magnet. Among the problems in the presently available HTS technology are splice resistance and index dissipation...
