An R-module M is called strongly noncosingular if it has no nonzero Rad-small (cosingular) homomorphic image in the sense of Harada. It is proven that (1) an R-module M is strongly noncosingular if and only if M is coatomic and noncosingular; (2) a right perfect ring R is Artinian hereditary serial if and only if the class of injective modules coincides with the class of (strongly) noncosingula...

Locomotion can be investigated by factorization of electromyographic (EMG) signals, e.g., with non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). This approach is a convenient concise representation of muscle activities as distributed in motor modules, activated in specific gait phases. For applying NMF, the EMG signals are analyzed either as single trials, or as averaged EMG, or as concatenated EMG (dat...

Exploiting speculative thread-level parallelism across modules, e.g., methods, procedures, or functions, have shown promise. However, misspeculations and task creation overhead are known to adversely impact the speedup if too many small modules are executed speculatively. Our approach to reduce the impact of these overheads is to disable speculation on modules with a run-length below a certain ...

In the memory system of multivector processors, the interferences between concurrent vector streams cause the loss of cycles that makes the effective throughput be lower than the required throughput. Then, the work of the functional units is delayed. Using the classical order to access the vector stream elements, the vector stream references the memory modules using a temporal distribution that...

In this paper we introduce a new class of modules which is closely related to the class of Noetherian modules. Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $M$ be an $R$-module such that $Nil(M)$ is a divided prime submodule of $M$. $M$ is called a Nonnil-Noetherian $R$-module if every nonnil submodule of $M$ is finitely generated. We prove that many of the properties of Noetherian modul...

Prototypes have been designed and manufactured for a lightweight portable device which continually moves all the joints of the hand passively through a range of motion. Inflatable bag modules in the palm of the hand are ganged together to create the required range of motion. A battery-operated air pump cycles compressed air to the modules. Initial clinical experience with patients who have flex...
