The elasticity and viscosity of the human erythrocyte membrane were measured as a function of the concentration of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) in a suspending solution containing 1 mg/ml albumin, approximately 5 X 10(5) cells/ml and between 0.0 and 0.2 microgram/ml WGA. Membrane elasticity was characterized by the elastic shear modulus, which provided a measure of the resistance of the membrane...

Pain and tenderness of the upper trapezius are the major complaints among people with chronic neck and shoulder disorders. Hyper-activation and increased muscle tension of the upper trapezius during arm elevation will cause imbalance of the scapular muscle force and contribute to neck and shoulder disorders. Assessing the elasticity of the upper trapezius in different arm positions is therefore...

abstract- in this study, texture profile analysis and a creep test were used to determine the textural quality attributes of fish protein isolates and conventional surimi. these isolates were made from raw materials obtained from filleting processes of silver carp (hypophthalmichthys molitrix) using acid and alkaline aided treatments. texture profile analysis was performed in order to obtain ha...

Fertilizer has brought great pressure to sustainable ecological environment. Research on the effect of price fertilizer use as well substitution relationship and other input factors agricultural production is importance for green, efficient, intensive in world. This study first constructs translog cost functions models elasticity, then uses factor data from 2004 2016 measure elasticity demand, ...

Fuzzy arithmetic is a successful tool to solve engineering problems with uncertain parameters. The generalized mathematical operations for fuzzy numbers can theoretically be defined making use of Zadeh’s extension principle. Practical real-world applications of fuzzy arithmetic, however, require an appropriate form of implementation for the fuzzy numbers and the fuzzy arithmetical operations. F...

Fairness considerations within the …rm are introduced into the determination of wages in a two factor Pissarides-style model of search unemployment to study its implications for the unemployment rates of unskilled and skilled workers in both the closed economy case and when the economy can o¤shore some inputs. While the e¤ect of a fair-wage constraint on unskilled workers takes the form of an i...

We show that, for a utility function U : R → R having reasonable asymptotic elasticity, the optimal investment process Ĥ · S is a super-martingale under each equivalent martingale measure Q, such that E[V ( dP )] < ∞, where V is conjugate to U . Similar results for the special case of the exponential utility were recently obtained by Delbaen, Grandits, Rheinländer, Samperi, Schweizer, Stricker ...
