OBJECTIVES To determine the immediate effects of applied forearm Kinesio taping on maximal grip strength and force sense of healthy collegiate athletes. DESIGN Single group, repeated measures study. SETTING Clinical sports medicine laboratory at a university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-one healthy collegiate athletes voluntarily participated in this study. All subjects were male (averag...

AIM To compare the growth patterns of breast fed and formula fed Italian infants in the first 12 months of life using World Health Organisation (WHO) reference data. METHODS The growth patterns of 73 breast fed infants (36 male, 37 female) and 65 formula fed infants (35 male, 30 female) were compared. Solid foods were introduced with the same weaning schedules from the 5th month in both group...

I agree with Ripley that additional theories and theoretical approaches should be considered in light of the findings discussed in my paper. I am particularly grateful for his remark concerning theories taking conjunction to be monontone. In a similar vein, joint work with Frank Veltman (in preparation), resulted in arguments against several dominant approaches to the analysis of vagueness and ...

This paper addresses microeconometri c evaluation by matching methods when the programs under consideratio n are heterogeneous . Assuming that selection into the different subprograms and the potential outcomes are independent given observable characteristics , estimators based on different propensity scores are compared and applied to the analysis of active labor market policies in the Swiss r...

3D maps including urban structures and terrain information facilitate urban searches for robots operating in various robot scenarios. However it suffers from large memory requirements and computation time to deal with point clouds collected by range sensors. It is problematic for operating rescue robots in real time. NDT (Normal Distribution Transform) grid is a suitable map model to deal with ...

The normal equations constructed by a Toeplitz matrix are studied, in order to nd a suitable preconditioner related to the discrete sine transform. New results are given about the structure of the product of two Toeplitz matrices, which allow the CGN method to achieve a superlinear rate of convergence. This preconditioner outperforms the circulant one for the iterative solution of Toeplitz leas...

Motivated by a class of nonlinear regulator problems associated with systems that experience actuator failure, this work discusses the construction of nonlinear observers in normal form using a systematic and elegant method of transformation, namely Lie Transforms. It is shown how the transformation, which is the solution of a Homological Equation, and the observer gain matrix, which is a serie...
