During repetitive contractions, muscular work has been shown to exhibit complex relationships with muscle strain length, cycle frequency, and muscle shortening velocity. Those complex relationships make it difficult to predict muscular performance for any specific set of movement parameters. We hypothesized that the relationship of impulse with cyclic velocity (the product of shortening velocit...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE The use of wheelchairs (WC) of ergonomically different propulsion mechanisms may influence the cardiorespiratory capacity of the WC user. The purpose of the present investigation was to observe the impact of chronic use of four ergonomically different propulsion systems and age of the WC users on their aerobic capacity. METHODS The male subjects (n=77), exclusively usin...

We establish some rank and crank analogs for partitions into distinct colors and give combinatorial interpretations for colored partitions such as partitions defined by Toh, Zhang and Wang congruences modulo 5, 7.

In this article, we apply the Multiquadric radial basis function (RBF) interpo-lation method for nding the numerical approximation of traveling wave solu-tions of the Kawahara equation. The scheme is based on the Crank-Nicolsonformulation for space derivative. The performance of the method is shown innumerical examples.

Engine control policies are mostly based on the assumption that all injectors have the same behavior independent of location and aging. In reality, injectors do vary and age. To contain variations around a nominal value, tight tolerances are imposed on the manufacturing process. Even if the manufacturing process is tightly controlled, the air-to-fuel ratio needed to satisfy emission constraints...

We give a highly efficient, accurate and unconditionally stable algorithm to solve the partial differential equation for simulating the action potential propagation through cardiac tissue. In the new algorithm, we discretize the space domain by combining a compact finite difference scheme with an alternating direction implicit (ADI) scheme, which has fourth-order accuracy for interior mesh poin...

The long time numerical approximation of the parabolic p-Laplacian problem with a time-independent forcing term and sufficiently smooth initial data is studied. Convergence and stability results which are uniform for t ∈ [0,∞) are established in the L2, W 1,p norms for the backward Euler and the Crank–Nicholson schemes with the finite element method (FEM). This result extends the existing unifo...

In this paper, numerical solution for the generalized Rosenau-Burgers equation is considered and Crank-Nicolson finite difference scheme is proposed. Existence of the solutions for the difference scheme has been shown. Stability, convergence and priori error estimate of the scheme are proved. Numerical results demonstrate that the scheme is efficient and reliable. Keywords—Generalized Rosenau-B...
