Purpose: The ability of the human organism to recover its autonomic balance soon after physical exercise cessation has an important impact on the individual's health status. Heart rate variability widely used as a non-invasive technique at rest, during and after exercise for the assessment of the autonomic nervous system activity on the heart and the balance between the sympathetic and parasymp...

In December 1994 a woman with a complete T9 spinal lesion had a 12-channel stimulator implanted with electrodes on the anterior L2 to S2 spinal roots bilaterally. Some restoration of cycling ability has already been demonstrated in [1] and [2]. She achieved leg powered cycling for 1.2km at a time using a recumbent tricycle in May 1998. The cycling system has since been developed further. Initia...

This study proposes one-dimensional advection–diffusion equation (ADE) with finite differences method (FDM) using implicit spreadsheet simulation (ADEISS). By changing only the values of temporal and spatial weighted parameters with ADEISS implementation, solutions are implicitly obtained for the BTCS, Upwind and Crank–Nicolson schemes. The ADEISS uses iterative spreadsheet solution technique. ...

The construction of a hierarchy of high-frequency microlocal artificial boundary conditions for the two-dimensional linear Schrödinger equation is proposed. These conditions are derived for a circular boundary and are next extended to a general arbitrarily-shaped boundary. They present the features of being differential in space and non-local in time since their definition involves some tempora...

The oscillating activity of a single CDK-cyclin fusion protein can drive the orderly progression of yeast cells through DNA replication, mitosis and cell division.

Moments of the partition rank and crank statistics have been studied for their connections to combinatorial objects such as Durfee symbols, as well as for their connections to harmonic Maass forms. This paper proves a conjecture due to two of the authors that re ned a conjecture of Garvan. Garvan's original conjecture states that the moments of the crank function are always larger than the mome...

Thermal interaction of fluids and solids, or conjugate heat transfer (CHT), is encountered in many engineering applications. Since time-accurate computations of such coupled problems can be computationally expensive, we consider loosely-coupled and stronglycoupled solution algorithms in which higher order multi-stage Runge-Kutta schemes are employed for time integration. The higher order time i...

hat is the judicial process? Kantorowicz (Rechtswissenschaft and Soziologie, p.5) tells us that according to popular conception in Germany, it consists, or ought to consist, in dropping an appropriate section of a statute into a hopper, turning the crank and pulling out the correct decision at the bottom. Doubtless the current American belief is very similar, except that we are likely to credit...
