Conditionally specified Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) models with adjacency-based neighbourhood weight matrix, commonly known as neighbourhood-based GMRF models, have been the mainstream approach to spatial smoothing in Bayesian disease mapping. In the present paper, we propose a conditionally specified Gaussian random field (GRF) model with a similarity-based non-spatial weight matrix to...

Gene-regulation functions (GRF) provide a unique characteristic of a cis-regulatory module (CRM), relating the concentrations of transcription factors (input) to the promoter activities (output). The challenge is to predict GRFs from the sequence. Here we systematically consider the lysogeny-lysis CRMs of different temperate bacteriophages such as the Lactobacillus casei phage A2, Escherichia c...

This study investigated how changes in the material properties of a landing mat could minimise ground reaction forces (GRF) and internal loading on a gymnast during landing. A multi-layer model of a gymnastics competition landing mat and a subject-specific seven link wobbling mass model of a gymnast were developed to address this aim. Landing mat properties (stiffness and damping) were optimise...

Considering the set of real numbers R, for each x ? A, B(x)={(x??,x+?):?>0}, and x? R\A, let B(x)={[x,x+?):?>0}, unique topology generated by {B(x): R} is denoted ?(A) ( R , ) called an H-space. In this paper, we give some results about these spaces product two them, including separation axioms, wD property, various types compactness connectedness, weaker properties normality.

The importance of the measurement of human locomotion for the processes of diagnosis and treatment of locomotion disorders is increasingly being recognized. Human locomotion, in particular walking and running are defined by sequences of cyclic gestures. The variability of these sequences can reveal abilities or motorskill failures. The purpose of this study is to analyze and to characterize a r...

The purpose of this study was to (1) determine whether symmetry in temporal-distance (T-D) measures is accompanied by symmetry in kinetic measures during self-paced gait and (2) evaluate the effect of symmetry on gait speed in individuals with chronic stroke. A symmetry index was calculated for stance time, swing time, step length and vertical ground reaction force (GRF) for 28 individuals with...

A construction of wavelet sets containing certain subsets of R is given. The construction is then modified to yield a continuous dependence on the underlying subset, which is used to prove the path-connectedness of the s-elementary wavelets. A generalization to Rn is also considered.

In this paper, the definition of intuitionistic fuzzy normed linear space which is introduced in an earlier paper by R. Saadati et al. [15] is redefined and based on this revised definition we have studied completeness and connectedness of finite dimensional intuitionistic fuzzy normed linear spaces.

The goals of the study were to compare data of vertical ground reaction force (GRF) parameters during level walking, stair ascent and descent on three different stair inclinations and three different age groups. Twenty healthy subjects of three age groups (young 33.7 years; middle 63.6 years; old 76.5 years) were tested during the seven test conditions with 8-10 repetitions. Vertical forces wer...
