the non-split extension group $overline{g} = 5^3{^.}l(3,5)$ is a subgroup of order 46500000 and of index 1113229656 in ly. the group $overline{g}$ in turn has l(3,5) and $5^2{:}2.a_5$ as inertia factors. the group $5^2{:}2.a_5$ is of order 3 000 and is of index 124 in l(3,5). the aim of this paper is to compute the fischer-clifford matrices of $overline{g}$, which together with associated parti...

The head's inertia produces forces on the neck when the body moves. One collective function of the vestibulocollic and cervicocollic reflexes (VCR and CCR) is thought to be to stabilize the head with respect to the trunk during whole body movements. Little is known as to whether their head-movement kinematics produced by squirrel monkeys during whole body rotations are similar to those of cats ...

A three-dimensional (3D) simulation study of the effect of inertia on the dynamics of vesicles and red blood cells (RBCs) has not been reported. Here, we developed a 3D model based on the front tracking method to investigate how inertia affects the dynamics of spherical/non-spherical vesicles and biconcave-shaped RBCs with the Reynolds number ranging from 0.1 to 10. The results showed that iner...

Before the Evolutionary Synthesis, ‘phylogenetic inertia’ was associated with theories of orthogenesis, which claimed that organisms possessed an endogenous perfecting principle. The concept in the modern literature dates to Simpson (1944), who used ‘evolutionary inertia’ as a description of pattern in the fossil record. Wilson (1975) used ‘phylogenetic inertia’ to describe population-level or ...

For repeated point-to-point arm movements it is often assumed that motor commands are customized in a trial-to-trial manner, based on previous endpoint error. To test this assumption, we perturbed movement execution without affecting the endpoint error by using a modest manipulation of inertia. Participants made point-to-point elbow flexion and extension movements in the horizontal plane, under...

In many sports, the maximum swing speed of a racket, club, or bat is a key performance parameter. Previous research in multiple sports supports the hypothesis of an inverse association between the swing speed and moment of inertia of an implement. The aim of this study was to rigorously test and quantify this relationship using a restricted swinging motion. Eight visually identical rods with a ...

AIMS Therapeutic inertia, defined as the failure to initiate or intensify therapy in a timely manner according to evidence-based clinical guidelines, is a key reason for uncontrolled hyperglycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aims of this systematic review were to identify how therapeutic inertia in the management of hyperglycaemia was measured and to assess its extent over the past d...

UNLABELLED The authors investigated 103 consecutive Thai patients (29M, 74F age 50 +/- 20) with chronic idiopathic constipation (symptom duration; median 5 yr, range 0.25-45 yr) as defined by Rome II criteria using colonic transit test, anorectal manometry, and balloon expulsion tests. Constipation symptoms were evaluated by a questionnaire. RESULTS There were 30, 14, 11, and 48 patients who ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Clinical inertia is considered a major barrier to better care. We assessed its prevalence, predictors and associations with the intermediate outcomes of diabetes care. MATERIALS AND METHODS Baseline and follow-up data of a Dutch randomized controlled trial on the implementation of a locally adapted guideline were used. The study involved 30 general practices and 1283 patie...

We examine existence and stability under learning of sunspot equilibria in a New Keynesian model incorporating inertia. Indeterminacy remains prevalent, stable sunspots abound, and inertia in IS and AS relations do not significantly impact the policy region containing sta-
