the ordinary tensor product of modules is defined using bilinear maps (bimorphisms), that are linear in eachcomponent. keeping this in mind, linton and banaschewski with nelson defined and studied the tensor product in an equational category and in a general (concrete) category k, respectively, using bimorphisms, that is, defined via the hom-functor on k. also, the so-called sesquilinear, or on...

DESIGN This is a cross-sectional study. SETTING University research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Fifteen healthy adults (mean age: 27.47 years) volunteered for this study. INTERVENTION The individuals performed standard bridge exercise and modified bridge exercises with right leg-lift (single-leg-lift bridge exercise, single-leg-lift bridge exercise on an unstable surface, and single-leg-lift...

abstract: in this paper, optimization of boeing 747 wing has been accomplished for cruise condition (mach number=0.85, flight altitude=35000 ft), where an optimal wing shape is proposed. objective functions are minimization of wing weight and drag force that as well as confining design parameters, two functional constrains are applied. the first functional constrain is fuel tank volume in the a...

Only 17% of older adults meet the recommendations for two days of full body strength training that is associated with improved functional fitness; reduced risk of falls; and reduced morbidity and mortality rates. Community-based interventions are recommended as they provide supportive infrastructure to reach older adults and impact strength training behaviors. Scalability and sustainability of ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The number of laparoscopic surgeries performed is increasing every year and in most cases the pneumoperitoneum method is used. One alternative is the abdominal wall lifting method and this study was undertaken to evaluate changes of functional residual capacity during the abdominal wall lift procedure. METHODS From January to April 2013, 20 patients underwent laparos...

We examined if object information obtained during one prehension task is used to produce fingertip forces for handling the same object in a different prehension task. Our observations address the task specificity of the internal models presumed to issue commands for grasping and transporting objects. Two groups participated in a 2-day experiment in which they lifted a novel object (230 g; 1.2 g...

The lift monad is the construction which to a poset freely adjoins a bottom element to it, or equivalently (from the classical viewpoint), the construction which freely adjoins suprema for subsets with at most one element. In constructive mathematics (i.e. inside a topos), these two constructions are no longer equivalent, since the equivalence is based on the boolean reasoning that a set with a...

The present study examines anticipatory control of fingertip forces during grasping based on the center of mass (CM) of a manipulated object. Subjects lifted an object using a precision grip while the fingertip forces and the angle about the vertical axis (roll) were measured. The object's CM could be shifted to the left or right of the object's center parallel to the grip axis without changing...
