There are many motivational factors or barriers that effect women to weight train at a recreational standard. In this research, weight training is any use of resistance machines, bands or the lifting of weights. Through this research, the question of how do women who weight train differ from those who do not in a physical, mental and social aspect is answered. Furthermore, this research identif...

We developed a 1‐DOF power assist robot system for lifting objects by two humans cooperatively. We hypothesized that weight perception due to inertia might be different from that due to gravity when lifting an object with power‐assist because the perceived weight differs from the actual weight. The system was simulated and two humans cooperatively lifted objects with ...

Despite their enhanced marketplace visibility, validity of wearable photoplethysmographic heart rate monitoring is scarce. Forty-seven healthy participants performed seven, 6-min exercise bouts and completed a valid skin type scale. Participants wore an Omron HR500U (OHR) and a Mio Alpha (MA), two commercial wearable photoplethysmographic heart rate monitors. Data were compared to a Polar RS800...

Nurses and other caregivers face high risk for developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders while lifting and holding limbs in the orthopaedic practice setting. A task force including representatives from the National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses, American Nurses Association, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Patient Safety Center of Inquiry at the James A. Haley ...

Motivation: it would be great if we could understand the p-adic variation of the Up-eigenvalues of modular forms as the weights and/or levels varied. (More generally, it would be really great if we could understand how the local p-adic Galois representations attached to automorphic forms behave – for example, even very weak “equidistribution” results here would presumably imply very strong auto...

In this article we give a proof of Serre’s conjecture for the case of odd level and arbitrary weight. Our proof will not depend on any yet unproved generalization of Kisin’s modularity lifting results to characteristic 2 (moreover, we will not consider at all characteristic 2 representations in any step of our proof). The key tool in the proof is Kisin’s recent modularity lifting result, which ...
