AMPLITUDE-TIME ANALYSIS OF BIOMECHANICAL PATTERNS OF HUMAN MOTIONS

Biomechanical analysis of motions solves the tasks of efficiency estimation of movement realization, search of technique optimal variants and tactics of motion performance, definition of a degree and reasons of not matching real movement ac...

Review of Public Opinion Dynamics Models

Social network provides a medium for information dissemination,leading to the rapid development of public opinion.Controlling the development direction of public opinion is one of the core issues of public opinion dynamics.However,the publi...

Robustness of a bisimulation-type faster-than preorder

TACS is an extension of CCS where upper time bounds for delays can be specified. Luettgen and Vogler defined three variants of bismulation-type faster-than relations and showed that they all three lead to the same preorder, demonstrating th...

A remark on Carathéodory type selections

We prove existence of Carathéodory type selections for multifunctions of two variables which are weakly lower semicontinuous with respect to one variable and measurable with respect to the other....

Mathematical Methods for Physicists

This text is designed for an intermediate-level, two-semester undergraduate course in mathematical physics. It provides an accessible account of most of the current, important mathematical tools required in physics these days. It is assumed...

Weak and strong forms of irresolute maps

We consider new weak and stronger forms of irresolute and semi-closure via the concept sg-closed sets which we call ap-irresolute maps, ap-semi-closed maps and contra-irresolute and use it to obtain a characterization of semi-T1/2 spaces....

The Option Value of Delay in Health Technology Assessment

UNLABELLED: Processes of health technology assessment (HTA) inform decisions under uncertainty about whether to invest in new technologies based on evidence of incremental effects, incremental cost, and incremental net benefit monetary (INM...

Digital prevention of depression for farmers? A qualitative study on participants' experiences regarding determinants of acceptance and satisfaction with a tailored guided internet intervention program

Introduction: Farmers, forest workers and gardeners have a higher risk of developing depression compared to other occupational populations. As part of the German pilot project “With us in balance”, the potential of six guided internet- and ...

“Their Bodies Were Made to Move and Wriggle Right from the Word Go”: A Qualitative Exploration of Family Engagement with Fundamental Movement Skills in Early Childhood

Background: Fundamental movement skills (FMS) underpin lifelong physical activity (PA) and health, yet many children are failing to meet age-appropriate standards. Caregivers hold a critical influence over children’s motor development, but ...

Advanced Digital Health Technologies for COVID-19 and Future Emergencies

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to a national health care emergency in the United States and exposed resource shortages, particularly of health care providers trained to provide critical or intensive care. This artic...
