PURPOSE To determine the impact of inclusion of a band or chain compensatory acceleration training (CAT), in a 5-week training phase, on maximal upper body strength during a 14-week off-season strength and conditioning program for collegiate male athletes. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-four National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) collegiate baseball players, who were familiar with the c...

In this paper we consider the existence of the maximal and mean square stabilizing solutions for a set of generalized coupled algebraic Riccati equations (GCARE for short) associated to the infinite-horizon stochastic quadratic optimal control problem of discrete-time Markov jump with multiplicative noise linear systems. The weighting matrices of the state and control for the quadratic part are...

This paper is devoted to probabilistic models for concurrent systems under their true-concurrency semantics. Here we address probabilistic event structures. We consider a new class of event structures, called locally finite, that extend confusion-free event structure. In locally finite event structures, maximal configurations can be tiled with branching cells: branching cells are minimal and fi...

In this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of a rank-3 abelian group $G = mathbb{Z}_{p^n} + mathbb{Z}_p + mathbb{Z}_p$ for any fixed prime $p$ and any positive integer $n$, using a natural equivalence relation given in cite{mur:01}. We present and prove explicit polynomial formulae for the number of (i) subgroups, (ii) maximal chains of subgroups, (iii) distinct fuzzy subgroups, (iv) non-isomorp...

Antibody-toxin conjugates of different compositions have been reported to have varying differential toxicities between target and non-target cells in uitro. In this report, we compare the kinetics of protein synthesis inhibition of several different types of anti-Thy 1.1-ricin hybrids. Utilizing two monoclonal antibodies which vary in affinity for the Thy 1.1 antigen by >IO3, thioether-linked ...

Smith, Paul G., Chaity Roy, Steven Fisher, Qi-Quan Huang, and Frank Brozovich. Selected Contribution: Mechanical strain increases force production and calcium sensitivity in cultured airway smooth muscle cells. J Appl Physiol 89: 2092–2098, 2000.—Cultured airway smooth muscle cells subjected to cyclic deformational strain have increased cell content of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and myosi...

We review the Green/Kleitman/Leeb interpretation of de Bruijn's symmetric chain decomposition of Nn, and explain how it can be used to find a maximal collection of disjoint symmetric chains in the nonsymmetric lattice of partitions of a set.

In this paper, the notion of maximal m-open set is introduced and itsproperties are investigated. Some results about existence of maximal m-open setsare given. Moreover, the relations between maximal m-open sets in an m-spaceand maximal open sets in the corresponding generated topology are considered.Our results are supported by examples and counterexamples.

The activity of phosphorylase kinase and myosin light chain kinase can be regulated by calcium-calmodulin or cyclic AMP. Since phosphorylation of the 20,000dalton phosphorylatable light chain (P-light chain) of myosin may be involved in the regulation of contractile activity in smooth muscle, we examined the relationship between P-light chain phosphorylation, phosphorylase a formation, and isom...

Every model of ZFC contains a product of two linear orders, each of size א1, with the property that every subset or complement thereof contains a maximal chain. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 06A10.
