The burden of hip muscles weakness and its relation to other impairments has been well documented. It is therefore a pre-requisite to have a reliable method for clinical assessment of hip muscles function allowing the design and implementation of a proper strengthening program. Motor-driven dynamometry has been widely accepted as the gold-standard for lower limb muscle strength assessment but i...

The phase image in radionuclide ventriculography shows the timing of ventricular contraction and is valuable in the detection of abnormalities induced by coronary artery disease. The image is usually interpreted subjectively, and in the present study a histogram of left ventricular phase values was used to make interpretation more objective. The left ventricular ejection fraction and the standa...

AIMS It is general practice to correct cardiac chamber size for body size by the process of scaling or normalization. Normalization is most commonly performed using simple linear or isometric correction; however, there is increasing evidence that this approach may be flawed. Likewise, there is little agreement concerning the appropriate scaling variable (measure of body size) for normalization....

In recent years, the monitoring of compositional data using control charts has been investigated in Statistical Process Control field. this study, we will design a Phase II Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (MEWMA) chart with variable sampling intervals to monitor based on isometric log-ratio transformation. The Time Signal be computed Markov chain approach investigate performa...

In this paper, we prove that a compact quasi-Einstein manifold $(M^n,\,g,\,u)$ of dimension $n\geq 4$ with boundary $\partial M,$ nonnegative sectional curvature and zero radial Weyl tensor is either isometric, up to scaling, the standard hemisphere $\Bbb {S}^n_+,$ or $g=dt^{2}+\psi ^{2}(t)g_{L}$ $u=u(t),$ where $g_{L}$ Einstein Ricci curvature. A similar classification result obtained by assum...

The concept of gyrogroups is a generalization groups which do not explicitly have associativity. In this paper, the notion fuzzy gyronorms on introduced. relations metrics (in sense George and Veeramani), are studied. Also, metric structures normed discussed. Finally completion gyrogroup with an invariant We mainly show that if d G (Gˆ,dˆ) space (G,d); then for any continuous t-norm ⁎, standard...

[Purpose] The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of isometric quadriceps exercise on muscle strength, pain, and function in knee osteoarthritis. [Subjects and Methods] Outpatients (N=42, 21 per group; age range 40-65 years; 13 men and 29 women) with osteoarthritis of the knee participated in the study. The experimental group performed isometric exercises including isometric qua...

[Purpose] Maximum voluntary isometric contraction can increase the reliability of electromyography data by controlling respiration; however, many studies that use normalization of electromyography data fail to account for this. This study aims to check changes in maximum voluntary isometric contraction based on changes in posture and respiration conditions. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-two hea...

Many theoretical problems in quantum technology can be formulated and addressed as constrained optimization problems. The most common mechanical constraints such as, e.g., orthogonality of isometric unitary matrices, CPTP property channels, conditions on density seen quotient or embedded Riemannian manifolds. This allows to use techniques for solving quantum-mechanical In the present work, we i...

Upper-limb fatigue is a common problem that may restrict people with multiple sclerosis (MS) from using their electric powered wheelchair effectively and for a long period of time. The objective of this research is to evaluate whether participants with MS can drive better using a variable compliance joystick (VCJ) and customizable algorithms than with a conventional wheelchair joystick. Eleven ...
