The context aware applications should focus on the Context adaptation, where the context change is reflected in the application, and the Content extension, where a new content of context is added without rebuilding the whole application. This paper defines Context Driven Component, which implements behaviors required by a context. An application is developed through composing the context driven...

Gait data are typically collected in multivariate form, so some multivariate analysis is often used to understand interrelationships between observed data. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a data reduction technique for correlated multivariate data, has been widely applied by gait analysts to investigate patterns of association in gait waveform data (e.g., interrelationships between joint an...

Multicomponent application paradigms have gained prominence in many significant multidisciplinary scientific applications. In this work, we propose a software strategy called dynamic component extension for multicomponent applications to improve application performance by minimizing processor idling. In this strategy, the processor space of a component is dynamically extended to include the pro...

Two new methods to select groups of variables have been developed for multiblock data: ”Group Sparse Principal Component Analysis” (GSPCA) for continuous variables and ”Sparse Multiple Correspondence Analysis” (SMCA) for categorical variables. GSPCA is a compromise between Sparse PCA method of Zou, Hastie and Tibshirani and the method ”group Lasso” of Yuan and Lin. PCA is formulated as a regres...

Object-oriented systems are able to treat objects indirectly by message passing. This allows them to manipulate objects without knowing their exact runtime type. Behavioral subtyping helps one reason in a modular fashion about such programs. That is, one can reason based on the static types of expressions in a program, provided that static types are upper bounds of the runtime types in a subtyp...

The purpose of the present study was to examine genetic and environmental effects on maximal isometric handgrip, knee extension, and ankle plantar flexion strength. In addition, we wanted to investigate whether the strength of these three muscle groups shares a genetic component or whether the genetic effect is specific for each muscle group. Muscle strength was measured as part of the Finnish ...

OBJECTIVES Because posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) resection makes flexion gaps wider in total knee replacement (TKR), preserving or sacrificing a PCL affects the gap equivalence; however, there are no criteria for the PCL resection that consider gap situations of each knee. This study aims to investigate gap characteristics of knees and to consider the criteria for PCL resection. METHODS T...

A method for the construction of classes examples multi-dimensional, multi-component Dubrovin-Novikov brackets hydrodynamic type is given. This based on an extension original Gelfand and Dorfman which gave Novikov algebras in terms structures defined from commutative, associative algebras. Given such algebra, involves only linear algebra.

We give an extension of the two-component KP hierarchy by considering additional time variables. We obtain the linear 2× 2 system by taking into consideration the hierarchy through a reduction procedure. The Lax pair of the Schlesinger system and the sixth Painlevé equation is given from this linear system. A unified approach to treat the other Painlevé equations from the usual two-component KP...
