Pain in the thoracic region of the spine is a common complaint, which can be as disabling as cervical and lumbar pain (Edmonston & Singer 1997). There are reports in the literature of presentations involving acute cervical ‘locked facet joints’ as well as acute lumbar ‘locked facet joints’ (Maitland 1978; Exelby 2001). Although there are a multitude of conditions that can arise from the thoraci...

When constructing a classifier, the probability of correct classification of future data points should be maximized. In the current paper this desideratum is translated in a very direct way into an optimization problem, which is solved using methods from convex optimization. We also show how to exploit Mercer kernels in this setting to obtain nonlinear decision boundaries. A worst-case bound on...

The main objective of the paper is to develop an innovative idea bringing continuous and discrete inequalities into a unified form. desired thus obtained by embedding majorization theory with existing notion inequalities. These notions are applied latest generalized form inequalities, popularly known as Hermite–Hadamard–Jensen–Mercer Moreover, frequently-used Caputo fractional operators employe...

In this work we analyze self-adjoint boundary value problems on networks for Schrödinger operators, in which a part of the with Neumann condition is always considered. We first characterize when energy positive semi-definite space functions satisfying null conditions. To do this, fundamental tools are Doob transform and discrete version trace function. Then, raise eigenvalue respect to weight g...

Shock Attenuation in Landing by Bryon Christopher Applequist Dr. John Mercer, Examination Committee Chair Associate Professor of Kinesiology University of Nevada, Las Vegas Shock attenuation (SA) has been well studied in activities such as walking and running (Chu, et al. 2004; Derrick, et al. 2004; Mercer, et al. 2003); however, there is a lack of research regarding SA during landing.
