We construct non-tight frames in finite-dimensional spaces consisting of periodic functions. In order for these frames to be useful in practice one needs to calculate a dual frame; while the canonical dual frame might be cumbersome to work with, the setup presented here enables us to obtain explicit constructions of some particularly convenient oblique duals. We also provide explicit oblique du...

objectives: this study aimed to identify elderly fallers and non-fallers by balance test under dual tasks conditions. methods & materials: this study was an analyze-comparative study. subjects were from three park of tehran. subjects were 20 older adults with outhistory of falls (aged 75.95±6.28 years) and 21 older adults with a history of 2 or more falls in the previous one year (aged 72.50±7....

 We study the notion of bounded approximate Connes-amenability for‎ ‎dual Banach algebras and characterize this type of algebras in terms‎ ‎of approximate diagonals‎. ‎We show that bounded approximate‎ ‎Connes-amenability of dual Banach algebras forces them to be unital‎. ‎For a separable dual Banach algebra‎, ‎we prove that bounded‎ ‎approximate Connes-amenability implies sequential approximat...

In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...

OBJECTIVE Our research examined the effects of practice on cell-phone-related driver distraction. BACKGROUND The driving literature is ambiguous as to whether practice can reduce driver distraction from concurrent cell phone conversation. METHODS Drivers reporting either high or low real-world cell phone usage were selected to participate in four 90-min simulated driving sessions on success...

objectives: the role of cognitive process for postural control was shown in dual task studies. however, there was no definite evidence how verbal instructions influence the allocation of attention to postural control. this study determined whether young and elderly adult are able to deliberately control the resource allocation when performing a sensorimotor and cognitive task simultaneously and...

in order to study the source limitation and contribution of pre-anthesis assimilates to grain in dual-purpose (forage and grain) barley, a field experiment was carried out in iran, ahvaz region. the experimental design was split plot in randomized complete block with three replications. application rates of nitrogen at four levels (60, 120, 180 and 220 kg.ha-1 n) were as main plots, while sub p...

background:  fractures of the distal third of the tibia are mostly associated with a fibular fracture that often requires fixation. the preferred treatment of distal tibial fracture is the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis  (mippo) procedure. however, there are no clear cut guidelines on fixation of the fibular fracture and currently most orthopedic surgeons use a plate osteo...

Natural gas-diesel dual fuel combustion is a beneficial strategy for achieving high efficient and low emissions operation in compression ignition engines, especially in genset application heavy duty diesel engine at rated power. This study aims to investigate a dual fuel engine performance and emissions using premixed natural gas and early direct injection of diesel fuel. Due to the different r...
