Convergence and Divergence of the Solutions of a Neutral Difference Equation [PDF]

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2011
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a neutral type difference equation of the form Δ[x(n) + cx(τ(n))] + p(n)x(σ(n)) = 0, where τ(n) is a general retarded argument, σ(n) is a general deviated argument (retarded or advanced), c ∈ ℝ, (p(n)) n≥0 is a sequence of positive real numbers such that p(n) ≥ p, p ∈ ℝ+, and Δ denotes the ...

Validity of a Wearable Digital Insole for Assessing Gait ON and OFF in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Gait impairment is a distinctive symptom of Parkinson's disease that negatively impact mobility. We assessed the validity of wearable digital insoles against a validated reference gait analysis system for measuring select gait characteristics in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods A comparative analysis between digital insoles

The semicycles of solutions of neutral difference equations

Applied Mathematics Letters, 2000
The authors study the semicycles of solutions to the neutral delay difference equation \[ \Delta(y_n+ p_ny_{n-\tau}) +q_ny_{n-\sigma} =0. \] Here \(\{p_n\}\) and \(\{q_n\}\) are sequences of nonnegative real numbers, \(\tau\) and \(\sigma\) are positive integers. Upper bounds on the number of terms of semicycles are determined.

Gravity‐Dependent Modulation of Downbeat Nystagmus: Insights From Velocity‐Storage Dysfunction

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Downbeat nystagmus varies with head position, a phenomenon termed gravity‐dependent modulation. We aimed to clarify its mechanism using a velocity‐storage model. Methods In 10 patients with downbeat nystagmus due to cerebellar disorders, we recorded eye movements at different pitch‐ and roll‐axis head positions.

Oscillation and Nonoscillation for Neutral Differential Equations

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1993
A class of neutral differential equations is investigated. The existence of nonoscillatory positive solutions is proved. Sufficient conditions for the existence of oscillatory solutions of this problem are given.

Does Long‐Term Lower Extremity Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis and Varus Alignment Reduce Knee Joint Loading During Gait?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Immunosuppressive Drug Use in Limited Systemic Sclerosis: An International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Current guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatment for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis but are less clear on their use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) in the absence of internal organ complications. We conducted an international survey to understand current immunosuppressive drug prescribing patterns in lcSSc ...

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

Thermomechanical Fatigue and Creep–Fatigue Interaction of Inconel 718 Additively Manufactured by Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Thermomechanical fatigue tests of laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF‐LB) Inconel 718 show that the additively manufactured material reaches almost the lifetimes of conventionally‐rolled material under no‐dwell conditions. Introducing dwell times at the maximum temperature markedly reduces the lifetimes due to pronounced grain boundary sliding associated
