We complete the initial study of jumping finite automata, which was started in a former article of Meduna and Zemek [6]. The open questions about basic closure properties are solved. Besides this, we correct erroneous results presented in the article. Finally, we point out important relations between jumping finite automata and some other models studied in the literature.

Jumping is an important locomotor behaviour used by many animals. The power required to perform a jump is supplied by skeletal muscle. The mechanical properties of skeletal muscle, including the power it can produce, are determined by its composition, which in turn reflects trade-offs between the differing tasks performed by the muscle. Recent studies suggest that muscles used for jumping are r...

Objective: This study aimed to examine the acute effect of dry cupping therapy applied hamstring muscle in footballers on flexibility, jumping, strength and range motion.Materials Methods: 25 male athletes with an average age 18.80 ± 0.41 U-19 football team, one infrastructure teams Yukatel Denizlispor club, voluntarily participated this study. Soccer players first evaluated motion, jumping tes...

This research replicates and extends an occupational therapy research project reported by Kircher in 1984. Thirty women aged 18 to 31 years jumped with a rope on one day and jumped in place on another day in a counterbalanced design. Each subject stopped jumping when she reached what she perceived as the very hard level on the Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion (Borg, 1970). Differences from Kirc...

For many years, the breeding value estimation for Swedish riding horses has been based on results from Riding Horse Quality Tests (RHQTs) of 4-year-olds only. Traits tested are conformation, gaits and jumping ability. An integrated index including competition results is under development to both get as reliable proofs as possible and increases the credibility of the indexes among breeders, trai...

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.03.020 0003-3472/© 2017 The Association for the Study of A Predator mimicry occurs when prey resemble their predator to gain protection. We explored the relative importance of the morphological and locomotor signals that spider-mimicking moths use to deceive their jumping spider predators. Two hypotheses explain why animals use multicomponent signals for...
