| Generalized joint signal representations extend the scope of joint time-frequency representations to a richer class of nonstationary signals. Cohen's marginal-based generalized approach is canonical from a distributional viewpoint , whereas, in some other applications, for example, in a signal detection framework, a covariance-based formulation is needed and/or more attractive. In this note, ...

A subject-specific model of instantaneous cost of transport (ICOT) is introduced from the joint-space formulation of metabolic energy expenditure using the laws of thermodynamics and the principles of multibody system dynamics. Work and heat are formulated in generalized coordinates as functions of joint kinematic and dynamic variables. Generalized heat rates mapped from muscle energetics are e...

   Background: In this feasibility study, a mechanically loaded in-vitro tissue culture model of joint morphogenesis using the isolated lower extremity of the 8 day old chick embryo was developed to assess the effects of mechanical loading on joint morphogenesis. Methods: The developed in-vitro system allows controlled flexion and extension of the chick embryonic knee with a range of motion of ...

abstract  background: the goal of this report is to show our results with extension block technique for treatment of mallet fracture. the indications for this technique were the presence of a large bone fragment, and palmar subluxation.  methods: we retrospectively assessed the results of treatment in 14 mallet fractures  which have been treated by extension block technique to determine the ran...

Objective. To study the impact of generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) in professional dancers on physical fitness, musculoskeletal complaints and psychological distress. Methods. Thirty-six professional dancers were recruited and compared with control subjects (mean age 20.1, range 17 27). Height, weight, Beighton score, physical fitness (walking distance, muscle strength, estimated VO2max), ...

We propose a long-range corrected hybrid meta-generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) functional, based on a global hybrid meta-GGA functional, M05 [Y. Zhao, N. E. Schultz, and D. G. Truhlar, J. Chem. Phys. 123, 161103 (2005)], and empirical atom-atom dispersion corrections. Our resulting functional, ωM05-D, is shown to be accurate for a very wide range of applications, such as thermochemistry...

Kamps (1995a,b) has introduced generalized order statistics as random variables having certain joint density function which includes as a special case the joint density functions of many models of ordered random variables. Let F be an absolutely continuous distribution function with density function f The random variables X 1 n m̃ k X n n m̃ k are called generalized order statistics based on F if...
