Although hip muscle strengthening has been reported as an effective way to decrease PFPS symptoms, however its effect on lower extremity kinematics is less clear. The current study was done with the aim of investigating the effect of hip abductor and external rotator muscles strengthening exercises on lower extremity kinematics in static and dynamic states. In a randomized controlled trial, 33 ...

Given an m×n real matrix Y , an unbounded set T of parameters t = (t1, . . . , tm+n) ∈ R m+n + with ∑m i=1 ti = ∑n j=1 tm+j and 0 < ε ≤ 1, we say that Dirichlet’s Theorem can be ε-improved for Y along T if for every sufficiently large t ∈ T there are nonzero q ∈ Z and p ∈ Z such that { |Yiq− pi| < εe −ti , i = 1, . . . ,m |qj | < εe tm+j , j = 1, . . . , n (here Y1, . . . , Ym are rows of Y ). ...

This paper is a supplementary section to [1]. We show that without any additional hypothesis the main result in [1] (Theorem 1) can be considerably strengthened. Note: This paper can not be read independently of [1]. The numbering of equations, theorems and propositions as well as cross-references used here have to be understood as if this paper were an additional section to [1]. 6 Improved ver...

In the operator version of the Hahn-Banach-Kantorovich theorem, the range space Y is assumed to be Dedekind complete. Y. A. Abramovich and A. W. Wickstead improved this by assuming only the Cantor property on Y . Along the same line of reasoning, we obtained in this paper several new results of this type. We also see that assuming Cantor property on the domain spaces instead gives good results,...

Given a directed acyclic graphG, and a set of values y on the vertices, the Isotonic Regression of y is a vector x that respects the partial order described by G, and minimizes ‖x− y‖ , for a specified norm. This paper gives improved algorithms for computing the Isotonic Regression for all weighted `p-norms with rigorous performance guarantees. Our algorithms are quite practical, and variants o...

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an inhibitory neuromodulator expressed abundantly in the central nervous system that is suspected of being an endogenous antiepileptic agent that can control propagation of limbic seizures. Electrophysiological and pharmacological data suggest that these actions of NPY are mediated by G protein-coupled NPY Y2 and NPY Y5 receptors. To determine whether the NPY Y5 receptor...

The LMF60 is a high performance, precision, 6th-order Butterworth lowpass active filter. It is fabricated using National’s LMCMOS process, an improved silicon-gate CMOS process specifically designed for analog products. Switchedcapacitor techniques eliminate external component requirements and allow a clock-tunable cutoff frequency. The ratio of the clock frequency to the low-pass cutoff freque...
