PURPOSE This study investigated the relationship between muscular strength about the knee and knee joint moments during gait in patients who had undergone arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). METHODS One hundred and two APM patients and 42 age-matched nonoperated controls underwent strength testing and three-dimensional gait analysis. Patients were divided into weak and normal subgroups a...

Let F be a local complete field with discrete valuation, and let G be a quasisplit group over F which splits over some unramified extension of F . Let P be a parahoric subgroup of the group G(F ) of F -points of G; the open normal pronilpotent subgroups of P can be classified using the standard normal filtration subgroups of Prasad and Raghanathan. More precisely, we show that if G is quasisimp...

AIM To assess levels of soluble Fas (sFas) in the sera of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy. METHODS The subjects in this study were 43 patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy and 11 normal subjects. Serum levels of sFas were determined by sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. In addition, serum levels of thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAB) were also measured in all the patients. RESU...

Among other things, we prove that the group of automorphisms fixing every normal subgroup of a (nilpotent of class c)-by-abelian group is (nilpotent of class ≤ c)-by-metabelian. In particular, the group of automorphisms fixing every normal subgroup of a metabelian group is soluble of derived length at most 3. An example shows that this bound cannot be improved.

Let G be a finite group. Yakov Berkovic investigated the following concept: A subgroup H of G is called NR−subgroup with respect to G if A = AG ⋂ H for any subgroup A H.In particulary,called a finite group G NN−group if its any subgroup is either normal subgroup or NR−subgroup of G. In fact, all groups with order p -p3 are NN -group,where p is a prime. In this paper, the nature and structure of...

let $gamma$ be a normal subgroup of the full automorphism group $aut(g)$ of a group $g$‎, ‎and assume that $inn(g)leq gamma$‎. ‎an endomorphism $sigma$ of $g$ is said to be {it $gamma$-central} if $sigma$ induces the the identity on the factor group $g/c_g(gamma)$‎. ‎clearly‎, ‎if $gamma=inn(g)$‎, ‎then a $gamma$-central endomorphism is a {it central} endomorphism‎. ‎in this article the conditi...

(1) Let G be a group and H ⊂ Z(G) a subgroup such that G/H is cyclic. Prove that G is abelian. Conclude that every group of order p2 (p a prime number) is abelian and that the centre of any non-abelian group of order p3 has p elements. (2) (?) Let H be a normal subgroup of a p-group G, H 6= {e}. Prove that H∩Z(G) 6= {e}. In particular, one obtains that any normal subgroup with p-elements is con...
