The mechanisms that govern the voluntary transition from walking to running as walking speed increases in human gait are not well understood. The objective of this study was to examine the hypothesis that plantar flexor muscle force production is greatly impaired at the preferred transition speed (PTS) due to intrinsic muscle properties and, thus, serves as a determinant for the walk-to-run tra...

Abstract—Multi-Resolution Analysis: MRA based on the mother wavelet function with which support length differs from the image of the automobile rear under run is performed, and the run characteristic of a car is searched for. Speed, deflection, etc. are analyzed and the method of detecting vehicles with high accident danger is proposed. The experimental results show that vehicles in a dangerous...

WCL is an inter-agent co-ordination language designed for Internet and Web based agent systems. WCL is based on shared associative memories called tuple spaces, as introduced in Linda. In this paper we describe a novel run-time system for WCL. This distributed run-time system is radically di erent from traditional run-time systems supporting tuple spaces because it performs on-they analysis of ...

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is one of the most distinguished parameters in endurance sports and plays an important role, for instance, in predicting endurance performance. Different models have been used to estimate VO2max or performance based on VO2max. These models can use linear or nonlinear approaches for modeling endurance performance. The aim of this study was to estimate VO2max in hea...

This investigation assessed the lymphocyte subset response to three days of intermittent run exercise to exhaustion. Twelve healthy college-aged males (n = 8) and females (n = 4) (age = 26 ± 4 years; height = 170.2 ± 10 cm; body mass = 75 ± 18 kg) completed an exertion test (maximal running speed and VO2max) and later performed three consecutive days of an intermittent run protocol to exhaustio...

This paper describes a new subgridding approach with a view to improving the efficiency of full-wave simulation of electronic circuits. The proposed subgridding method has been incorporated into a full-wave variable-mesh finite-difference transmission line matrix (FD-TLM) simulator. By incorporating the proposed subgridding method, a speed-up of about 2 has been attained. The computational acce...

This paper describes an initial study where the opensource Hadoop parallel and distributed run-time environment is used to speed-up the construction phase of a large high-dimensional index. This paper first discusses the typical practical problems developers may run into when porting their code to Hadoop. It then presents early experimental results showing that the performance gains are substan...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t We present a combinatorial structure consisting of a special cover of a string by squares. We characterize the covering property of run-maximal strings, i.e. strings achieving the maximal number of runs. The covering property leads to a compression scheme which is particularly efficient for run-maximal strings. It also yields a significant speed improvement...
