Finite state control Semi-infinite tape which contains, at the beginning of the computation: the input string, on its part of the tape the blank symbol, in the remaining squares According to the transition function at each step the machine: changes its internal state writes a nonblank symbol on the scanned tape square moves the head either to the left, or to the right, or keeps it on the same s...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of kinesiology taping on repositioning error of the knee joint after quadriceps muscle fatigue. [Subjects] Thirty healthy adults with no orthopaedic or neurological problems participated in this study. [Methods] The repositioning error of the knee joint was measured using a digital goniometer when the subjects extended their domina...

A Turing machine with faults, failures and recovery (TMF) is described. TMF is (weakly) non-deterministic Turing machine consisting of five semi-infinite tapes (Master Tape, Synchro Tape, Backup Tape, Backup Synchro Tape, User Tape) and four controlling components (Program, Daemon, Apparatus, User). Computational process consists of three phases (Program Phase, Failure Phase, Repair Phase). C++...

AIMS Intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) is a known risk factor for therapy failure after tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) insertion. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the severity of ISD alone or other factors such as urethral mobility and tape localization influence outcomes. METHODS One hundred and nine women with urodynamically determined ISD, a TVT insertion, and a 6-month ...

Kinesio taping (KT) has been proposed to modulate muscle tone. However no studies have systematically studied the efficacy of KTon this primary outcome measure. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Kinesio taping (KT) applied over the gastrocnemius muscles on muscle tone, extensibility, electromyography (EMG) and strength. Nineteen healthy subjects were enrolled in a doubl...
