[Purpose] This study compared the activation of anterior gluteus medius fibers during general exercises and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises. [Subjects and Methods] The study enrolled 15 healthy adults. The participants performed general hip abductor strengthening exercises and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises; during both types of exercise, electromyograph...

We propose an approach towards automatic generation of lexical exercises for learners of English. The techniques and tools used for generation of five different exercise types are described. We provide examples and evaluate the quality of generated exercises. We also compare the exercises generated on the basis of two different corpora by conducting an experiment. In the experiment learners com...

In the first exercise series you are requested to experiment with the model checker Spin. Spin is installed on the practicum SUN machines. We recommend to use the compute server demeter via remote login. To get things running, you should use this little shell script: #!/bin/sh

[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of cervical stabilization exercises on the electromyographic activity of the shoulder stabilizers in normal adults. [Subjects] In the present study, 20 normal adults were divided into an experimental group (EG, n=10) that performed cervical stabilization exercises and shoulder stabilization exercises and a control group (CG, ...

One of the most basic tools in the theory of automorphic forms is the truncation operator, first defined in [Langlands: 1966] but elaborated in later work of Jim Arthur (particularly [Arthur: 1978] and [Arthur: 1980]). In spite of its fundamental nature, there are many mysteries about it. In this article I’ll not dispel many of these, but I’ll at least motivate its definition by relating it to ...

(a) Consider a random assignment α where every variable is set independently and with probability 12 to either 0 or 1. The probability that a 3-clause is not satis ed by α is 1 8 , which is the case when all its literals evaluate to zero. Therefore, the probability that a clause is satis ed is 1− 18 = 7 8 . Let Xi be the indicator variable for the event that clause i is satis ed by the random a...
