BACKGROUND CONTEXT Recurrent low back pain (LBP) is a common and costly problem that might be related to increased spine loads in those with LBP. However, we know little about how the spine is loaded when those with LBP perform lifting exertions. PURPOSE Document spine loading patterns of patients with LBP performing symmetric and asymmetric lifting exertions compared with asymptomatic indivi...

The aim of this paper is to review emerging trends in efficient implementations of VLSI architecture of lifting based two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (2D-DWT).The basic principle of lifting scheme is decomposing finite impulse response (FIR) filter into finite sequence of filtering steps. The inherent in place computation of lifting scheme has many advantages, and has been adapted in...

We introduce the notion of an equational lifting monad: a commutative strong monad satisfying one additional equation (valid for monads arising from partial map classifiers). We prove that any equational lifting monad has a representation by a partial map classifier such that the Kleisli category of the former fully embeds in the partial category of the latter. Thus equational lifting monads pr...

SUMMARY In JPEG2000, the Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau (CDF) 9/7-tap wavelet filter was implemented by using the conventional lifting scheme. However, the filter coefficients remain complex, and the conventional lifting scheme disregards image edges in the coding process. In order to solve these issues, we propose a lifting scheme in two steps. In the first step, we select the appropriate filter co...

In JPEG2000, the Cohen–Daubechies–Feauveau (CDF) 9/7-tap wavelet filter implemented by using the conventional lifting scheme has two problems. The first problem is that the filter coefficients are remaining complex; second, the conventional lifting scheme ignores image edges in the coding process. In this article, we propose an effective wavelet lifting scheme to solve these problems. For this ...

During goal-directed tasks, such as lifting low-lying objects, the human motor system regulates the body’s centre of mass (CoM) position to maintain equilibrium and prevent falling [1]. During lifting, any voluntary trunk movement will perturb that equilibrium, which will elicit an automatic postural response requiring the coordinated control of several joints [2]. To actively counter perturbat...

We prove a modularity lifting theorem for potentially BarosttiTate representations over totally real fields, generalising recent results of Kisin. Unfortunately, there was an error in the original version of this paper, meaning that we can only obtain a slightly weaker result in the case where the representations are potentially ordinary; an erratum has been added explaining this error.

Abstract. We consider three lifting questions: Given a C∗-algebra I, if there is a unital C∗-algebra A contains I as an ideal, is every unitary from A/I lifted to a unitary in A? is every unitary from A/I lifted to an extremal partial isometry? is every extremal partial isometry from A/I lifted to an extremal partial isometry? We show several constructions of I which serve as working examples o...

This paper develops two new adaptive wavelet transforms based on the lifting scheme. The lifting construction exploits a spatialdomain, prediction-error interpretation of the wavelet transform and provides a powerful framework for designing customized transforms. We use the lifting construction to adaptively tune a wavelet transform to a desired signal by optimizing data-based prediction error ...

In this paper we introduce the notions of G∗L-module and G∗L-module whichare two proper generalizations of δ-lifting modules. We give some characteriza tions and properties of these modules. We show that a G∗L-module decomposesinto a semisimple submodule M1 and a submodule M2 of M such that every non-zero submodule of M2 contains a non-zero δ-cosingular submodule.
