The causes of able-bodied gait asymmetries are unclear. Mild (< 3 cm) leg-length inequality (LLI) may be one cause of these asymmetries; however, this idea has not been thoroughly investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of the relationship between LLI and able-bodied gait asymmetries. We hypothesized that subjects (n = 26) with relatively large LLI, quantified radi...

Self-adjusting computation is a language-based approach to writing programs that respond dynamically to input changes by maintaining a trace of the computation consistent with the input, thus also updating the output. For monotonic programs, i.e. where localized input changes cause localized changes in the computation, the trace can be repaired efficiently by insertions and deletions. However, ...

Estimating a channel impulse response using a known aperiodic sequence is considered. The problem can be reduced to minimizing the trace of the inverse of a Toeplitz matrix. An efficient algorithm for computing this trace is developed and optimal binary sequences up to length 32 are found and tabulated. The use of complementary sequences in this context is also investigated. It is shown that th...

the gulf of mannar, located between india and sri lanka, is a shallow embayment of the bay of bengal. the gulf, which has been declared a bio-reserve is a highly productive area endowed with rich marine fauna including corals. in order to study the origin and nature of the sediments and paleo-environment, 2.6 m length core was collected with 5cm interval at 1320m water depths. textural studies ...

fracture mapping of late permian-early triassic flat-lying sedimentary rocks in the sydney basin,new south wales, australia, shows that joints developed originally in extension were faulted in subsequentevents. joints with a regional distribution fall into two (early and late) formed groups. group i joints propagatedhorizontally and never interfered with each other. these joints were subsequent...

This paper studies the lap shear, in which both adhesive and adherends are elastic, but is much softer than adherends. The shear lag model identifies a length, called length Ls. energy release rate of debond crack affected by elasticity Their relative importance characterized ratio remaining joint, L, to In short-joint limit, L/Ls→0, do not deform, gives rate. long-joint L/Ls→∞, interior does a...

Recently, an ultrasound-based elastography technique has been used to measure stiffness (shear modulus) of an active human muscle along the axis of contraction. Using this technique, we explored 1) whether muscle shear modulus, like muscle force, is length dependent; and 2) whether the length dependence of muscle shear modulus is consistent between electrically elicited and voluntary contractio...

Let R be a commutative finite chain ring of invariants (q ,s ), and Γ(R) the Teichmüller’s set of R. In this paper, the trace representation cyclic R -linear codes of length l, is presented, when gcd(l,q ) = 1. Wewill show that the contractions of some cyclic R -linear codes of length ul are γ -constacyclic R -linear codes of length l, where γ ∈ Γ(R)\{0R} and themultiplicative order of γ is u .
