A theory of one-tape linear-time Turing machines is quite different from its polynomial-time counterpart since one-tape linear-time Turing machines are closely related to finite state automata. This paper discusses structural-complexity issues of one-tape Turing machines of various types (deterministic, nondeterministic, reversible, alternating, probabilistic, counting, and quantum Turing machi...

We examine the power of quantum Turing machines (QTM’s) which compute string-valued functions of their inputs using small workspace. A (probabilistic or quantum) Turing machine has three tapes: A read-only input tape, a read/write work tape, and a “1.5-way" write-only output tape. Consider a partial function f : Σ 1 → Σ 2 , where Σ1 and Σ2 are the input and output tape alphabets, respectively. ...

The paper presents analytical studies of the torque motor tape active element. The tape active element is a novel type of a motor's stator organization, where the conventional winding is replaced by a tape winding. Given the operation principle of proposed active element; its torque characteristics are then computationally found with using the finite element method (FEM). The results show the p...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy of kinesiotherapy used for treating various disorders in athletes on pain and pedal functions in patients with calcaneal apophysitis. METHODS This prospective randomized controlled study included 22 patients with calcaneal apophysitis aged 8 to 16 years presenting with heel pain among junior athletes of a professional football...

1. Discoloration of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tape has been used in peatland ecological and hydrological studies as an inexpensive way to monitor changes in water-table depth and reducing conditions. 2. We investigated the relationship between depth of PVC tape discoloration and measured water-table depth at monthly time steps during the growing season within nine kettle peatlands of northern Wi...

INTRODUCTION Lip tape therapy or lip taping is a widely used tissue approximation technique in cleft lip babies. Vari ous tapes have been tested and used worldwide. Allergic reactions and skin irritation are the most common problems encountered. Tension force across the tape cannot be consistently applied. Cost is also an obstacle to adopting lip tape therapy, particularly in developing countri...

[Purpose] Although there are several studies on the use of elastic tape to influence muscle strength, results are contradictory and controversial. Our previous studies based on the sliding mechanism between superficial fascia and subcutaneous tissue may help the muscle strength. The purpose of this study was to confirm the effects of new taping methods on muscle strength. [Subjects and Methods]...

Slope distance was measured between the top of 30 light poles and their respective ground level coordinate identified within a central parking lot on the campus of Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches, Texas. Slope distance measured using Pictometry® hyperspatial 4-inch (10.2 centimeters) multispectral imagery within a web based interface was compared to in situ total station and tap...

The positioning accuracy achievable by track-follow servo for flexible tape media is investigated using advanced concepts for several elements of the system. First, the servo pattern geometry in the timing-based servo system is designed in conjunction with a digital synchronous servo channel to minimize the measurement error in the position-error signal. Second, a flangeless tape path is introd...
