Traditional weight training programs use an exercise prescription strategy that emphasizes improving muscle strength through resistance exercises. Other factors, such as stability, endurance, movement quality, power, flexibility, speed, and agility are also essential elements to improving overall functional performance. Therefore, exercises that incorporate these additional elements may be bene...

different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion spect (mps) studies are routinely used. several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically.  interpretation of the mps should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed spect slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. quantification should be...

Abstract Approach/Landing is the phase of most accidents occur to endanger civil aircraft safety. CAT III autoland operation can improve safety and reliability when approach landing in bad weather conditions, reduce pilot’s working loads, so control law design an important task advanced flight system research. However, related researches are requirement based rather scenario based. Firstly, art...

This study aimed to identify football players at high risk (HR) for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury via a four-test battery and assess possible factors affecting classification. Ninety-one professional semi-professional male athletes participated in field-based pre-season screening. The cut-off points of the test were 10% acknowledged inter-limb asymmetry limit quadriceps hamstring isom...

While autonomous landing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires accurate position estimation, the standard inertial navigation unit (INU, the inertial measurement unit with a global positioning system (GPS)) provides relatively poor accuracy in altitude estimation. A common solution for this problem is to aid the INU with additional sensors and/or ground infrastructures, but the main hurdl...

in this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical slam/gps/ins/wlfp sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term gps failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. in addition, in gps denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...

As the demand for the civil aviation has been growing for decades and the system becoming increasingly complex, the use of systems engineering and operations research tools have shown to be of further use in managing this system. In this study, we apply such tools in managing landing operations on runways (as the bottleneck and highly valuable resources of air transportation networks) to handle...
