These are notes from two lectures given in MATH 27200, Basic Functional Analysis, at the University of Chicago in March 2010. The proof of the spectral theorem for compact operators comes from [Zim90, Chapter 3]. 1. The Spectral Theorem for Compact Operators The idea of the proof of the spectral theorem for compact self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space is very similar to the finite-dimensio...

This research aims to examine the differences across selected contextual factors on Toyota Way (TW), agile manufacturing (AM) and their sub-elements. These include firm size, nationality of firms, production approaches, IATF 16949 - an international quality management certification in automotive industry, supplier tiers supply chains, export levels, import levels. A survey instrument was develo...

T he leading par tit ional clustering technique, K Modes, is one of the most computationally eff icient clustering methods fo r categ orical data. In the t raditional K Modes algo rithm, the simple matching dissim ilarity measure is used to compute the distance betw een two values of the same catego rical at t ributes. T his compares tw o categorical v alues directly and results in either a dif...

Background: In critically ill patients inspiratory muscle function may be assessed by measurements of maximal inspiratory airway pressure and the response of twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi tw) to bilateral phrenic nerve stimulation. The first is limited by its total dependence on patient cooperation. Although the second approach is independent of patient volition, it is impractical bec...

– The configurational de-correlation in an aging system is attributed to irreversible intermittent rearrangements, which are described as a Poisson process with average ∝ ln(1 + t/tw), where t is the observation time and tw is the age [P. Sibani and H.J. Jensen, Europhys. Lett. 69, 2005]. On this basis, we obtain a simple model for the off-equilibrium aging behavior of the autocorrelation: the ...

The purpose of this study was to compare effects 12-weeks tradinational resistance training (TRT) on total work (TW), relative peak (RPW) and power (PP) in elite national curlers. Twenty-four participants were included the study. Subjects separated into two gorup, group (RES) control (CON). While RES performed 12-week TRT addiction curling training, CON just training. All twenty-four athletes a...
