Published: October 2018

Background: Outcome measures of operative intervention for ankle fractures indicate poor subjective and objective results. Though patients regain full range of motion they often complain of pain and fatigability. Specifically, there is a paucity of data regarding strength characteristics of the relevant muscles after surgical intervention. Objective: Describe the strength characteristics of ankle invertors(INs) and evertors (EVs) and explore their relationship to the ankle-hindfoot scale (AHS) in patients after surgical intervention for ankle fractures. Method: Bilateral isokinetic concentric and eccentric INs and EVs strength was measured in 24 patients, 6–12 months following surgery. Additional subjective and objective factors were evaluated using the AHS. Results: Strength of the involved limb muscles was significantly lower compared to the contra-lateral muscles (p<0.0001). However, strength reduction was significantly greater in the INs (27.6–37.5%) than the EVs(14.4–24.3%), (p=0.0005). The EVs/INs ratio of the uninvolved limb(89–102%) was significantly lower than the ratio of the involved limb(111–141%), (p<0.0001). The clinical status of the limb was found to have a significant effect on all dynamic control ratios (DCRs): EVR(E)/INV(C), INV(E)/EVR(C), EVR(C)/INV(E), and INV(C)/EVR(E) (P<0.0001, P=0.0032, P=0.0001, and P=0.0015, respectively). A significant relationship was found between the mean AHS score and relative unilateral weakness (r=−0.58, p=0.003). Conclusions: Strength reduction could be one of the reasons for the functional decline following ankle fractures. The weakness of the INs muscles of the ankle is more pronounced than that of the EVs.

The aim of the current study was to determine ball velocity and throwing distance in standing and running throw-in techniques, and to correlate this performances with isokinetic torques of the, elbow, shoulder, and trunk extensors and flexors. 14 male amateur soccer players volunteered to participate to the current study. Concentric Isokinetic tests were measured at 60 and 180°/s angular velocities for elbow and shoulder, 30 and 120°/s angular velocities for trunk. Ball velocity was measured by a radar gun and the throwing distance was measured regarding throw-in performance. Unpaired t-test was used to analyze ball velocity and throwing distance differences between two different throwing techniques. To clarify relationship between isokinetic strength values and ball velocities and distance which occur during two types of throwing techniques Pearson Correlation Analyze was used. There were no statistical significant differences regarding throwing velocity and distance between two different throw-in techniques. Even though, the isokinetic values and throwing velocities did not correlate with each other, there was a positive correlation between standing throw-in distance with elbow (non–dominant flexion at 60 and 180°s $^{-1}$ ), shoulder (dominant flexion-extension at 60 and 180°s $^{-1}$ , non-dominant extension at 60 and 180°s $^{ - 1}$ ) and trunk (flexion at 30 and 120°s $^{ - 1}$ ). The only correlation between running throw-in and throwing distance occurred in shoulder(dominant extension at 60°s $^{ - 1}$ ) and trunk (flexion at 30°s $^{ - 1}$ ). In conclusion, the isokinetic strength values regarding upper extremity is strong factor that describes standing throw-in performance. However; it is not highly correlated with the running throw-in performance in soccer.

Aim: To determine how do performance parameters of the trunk and knee flexors and extensors vary with age. Subjects and method: 215 subjects (82 men and 133 women), were divided into three age groups: 20 (mean 22.69, SD=1.72, min=20.0; max=28.0), 40(mean 44.81, SD=2.58, min=40.0; max=49.0) and 70-yearold (mean 70.23, SD=2.54, min=65.0; max=74.0). Results: The values of the peak torque was incrementally reduced with age, more so in men and with respect to the extensors of the trunk. Conclusion: The results point out to a selective reduction in trunk muscles function. Given the functional significance of these muscles, prevention programs targeting the elderly should take special attention of this finding.

ATOMIC FUNCTIONS AND THEIR GENERALIZATIONS IN DATA PRO-CESSING: FUNCTION THEORY APPROACH
Authors: Brysina Iryna Victorivna , Makarichev Victor Olexandrovych 
Published: October 2018

Theory of atomic functions, which are solutions with a compact support of the linear functional differential equations with a constant coefficients and linear transforms of the argument, was created in the 70's of the 20th century because of the necessity to solve different applied problems, in particular, boundary value problems. One of the reasons for the appearance of atomic functions and some other classes of functions was the inability to use such classic approximation tools as algebraic and trigonometric polynomials. V.A. Rvachev up-function is the most famous and widely used atomic function. With the passage of time and the development of technologies, the existing problems are changing and fundamentally new problems appear. For instance, now the big data processing is one of the most important problems. It should be mentioned that the suitable mathematical tools must be used to obtain the desired result. This paper is devoted to fundamentals of applications of some atomic functions and their generalizations to data processing and lossy information compression. In this paper we consider the main properties of these functions from the function theory point of view and give their interpretation with respect to information processing. Smoothness, compact support and good approximation properties are the main advantages of atomic functions. Moreover, the spaces of atomic functions and the spaces of generalized Fup-functions, which are the natural generalization of V.A. Rvachev Fup-functions, are asymptotically extremal for approximation of periodic differentiable functions. This means that in the terms of A.N. Kolmogorov width these functions are just as effective as classic trigonometric polynomials {1, cos(nx), sin(nx)}. Hence, the replacement of discrete transforms based on trigonometric functions on similar transforms based on atomic functions and generalized Fup-functions is quite promising. For this purpose we introduce discrete atomic transform and generalized discrete atomic transform. We also discuss the dependence of data processing results on order of smoothness and size of support of the used functions. Theoretical justification of the application of some atomic functions and generalized Fup-functions to data processing and, in particular, lossy data compression is the main result of this paper

Die Getrennt-­ und Zusammenschreibung von Komposita in frnhd. Hexenverhörprotokollen

This paper investigates the spelling of compound nouns in a corpus comprised of Early New High German protocols of witch trials from the 16th and 17th century. Previous studies on the spelling of compound nouns in printed texts have found that scribes increasingly write compound nouns as one word during the 16th century. However, this paper will show that there is still much variation in handwritten texts from that time. The study focusses on identifying factors that lead scribes to write compound nouns either as one word or two, such as linking elements and the use of upper case letters. I will argue that while there is more variation in the spelling of compound nouns in the handwritten corpus than in printed texts, there still is a strong tendency to line up the boundaries of the graphemic and syntactic words.

GRay2: A General Purpose Geodesic Integrator for Kerr Spacetimes
Authors: Chan Chi-kwan , Medeiros Lia , Özel Feryal , Psaltis Dimitrios 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Fast and accurate integration of geodesics in Kerr spacetimes is an important tool in modeling the orbits of stars and the transport of radiation in the vicinities of black holes. Most existing integration algorithms employ Boyer–Lindquist (BL) coordinates, which have coordinate singularities at the event horizon and along the poles. Handling the singularities requires special numerical treatment in these regions, often slows down the calculations, and may lead to inaccurate geodesics. We present here a new general-purpose geodesic integrator, GRay2, that overcomes these issues by employing the Cartesian form of Kerr–Schild (KS) coordinates. By performing particular mathematical manipulations of the geodesic equations and several optimizations, we develop an implementation of the Cartesian KS coordinates that outperforms calculations that use the seemingly simpler equations in BL coordinates. We also employ the OpenCL framework, which allows GRay2 to run on multicore CPUs as well as on a wide range of graphics processing units hardware accelerators, making the algorithm more versatile. We report numerous convergence tests and benchmark results for GRay2 for both time-like (particle) and null (photon) geodesics.
Nonparametric Estimation of the Size and Waiting Time Distributions of Pulsar Glitches
Authors: Howitt G. , Melatos A. , Delaigle A. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Glitch size and waiting time probability density functions (PDFs) are estimated for the five pulsars that have glitched the most using the nonparametric kernel density estimator. Two objects exhibit decreasing size and waiting time PDFs. Their activity is Poisson-like, and their size statistics are approximately scale-invariant. Three objects exhibit a statistically significant local maximum in the PDFs, including one (PSR J1341−6220), which was classified as Poisson-like in previous analyses. Their activity is quasiperiodic, although the dispersion in waiting times is relatively broad. The classification is robust: it is preserved across a wide range of bandwidth choices. There is no compelling evidence for multimodality, but this issue should be revisited when more data become available. The implications for superfluid vortex avalanche models of pulsar glitches are explored briefly.

Published: October 2018

Abstract
HESS J1640-465 is an extended TeV γ-ray source, and whether its γ-ray emission is from the shell of a supernova remnant (SNR) or a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) is still under debate. We reanalyze the GeV γ-ray data in the field of HESS J1640-465 using eight years of Pass 8 data recorded by the Fermi Large Area Telescope. An extended GeV γ-ray source positionally coincident with HESS J1640-465 is found. Its photon spectrum can be described by a power law with an index of 1.42 ± 0.19 in the energy range of 10–500 GeV and smoothly connects with the TeV spectrum of HESS J1640-465. The broadband spectrum of HESS J1640-465 can be well fit by a leptonic model with a broken power-law spectrum of electrons with an exponential cut off at ∼300 TeV. The spectral properties of HESS J1640-465 are broadly consistent with the characteristics of other sources identified as PWNe, such as the correlations between high-energy luminosity ratios and the physical parameters of pulsar, including the spin-down luminosity

and the characteristic age τ

c
. All of these pieces of evidence support that the γ-ray emission of HESS J1640-465 may originate from the PWN powered by PSR J1640-4631 rather than the shell of the SNR G338.3-0.0.
Testing the Speed of Light over Cosmological Distances: The Combination of Strongly Lensed and Unlensed Type Ia Supernovae

Published: October 2018

Abstract
Probing the speed of light is an important test of general relativity, but the measurements of c using objects in the distant universe have been almost completely unexplored. In this paper, we propose an idea to use the multiple measurements of galactic-scale strong gravitational lensing systems with Type Ia supernovae acting as background sources to estimate the speed of light. This provides an original method to measure the speed of light using objects located at different redshifts that emitted their light in a distant past. Moreover, we predict that strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae observed by the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) would produce robust constraints on Δc/c at the level of 10−3. We also discuss whether future surveys such as LSST may succeed in detecting any hypothetical variation of c predicted by theories in which fundamental constants have a dynamical nature.
