Over the past 20 years, more than 100,000 CD-ROM titles have been published including thousands of collections of government documents and data. CD-ROMs present preservation challenges at the bit level and in ensuring usability of the preserved artifact. We present techniques we have developed to archive and support user access to a collection of approximately 2,900 CD-ROMs published under the ...

Crossminton is a sport that combines elements of squash, badminton and tennis, creating new sport, which currently being played all over the world. The aim our study was to identify compare bilateral differences in internal external rotation glenohumeral joint crossminton players. subject were 13 players from Slovak Republic (25.1±9.3 years; 172.8±9.1 cm; 71.8±16.1 kg). range motion (IR-ROM) (E...

This paper proposes the synthesis of grasp postures using a digital hand with limited range motion (ROM) thumb. To virtually evaluate universal design products, it is necessary to synthesize natural grasps for different hands, including those disabilities. In terms disability, we focused on ROM thumb, which typically observed in patients carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Based musculoskeletal model...

This brief explores the optimization of distributed-ROM-based finite state machine (FSM) implementations as an alternative to conventional based on look-up tables (LUTs). In distributed-ROM implementations, LUTs with constant output value (called LUTs) and same content equivalent can be saved. We propose a methodology implement FSMs using distributed ROM that includes: 1) greedy encoding algori...

1 Windowing FPGA Hardware Figure 1 illustrates the hardware required to implement a windowing function. The window ROM contains 1024 words, each 10-bits wide. (The ROM could be changed to RAM at a later date if the window is required to change in real-time.) The window ROM block contains an address counter which cycles through the window locations sequentially. (For symmetrical windows it could...

This study focuses on stabilizing reduced order model (ROM) based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and on improving the POD functional subspace. A modified ROM that incorporates directly the pressure term is proposed. The ROM is stabilized using Navier-Stokes equations residuals and exploiting ideas similar to the variational multiscale method. The POD functional subspace is improved th...

OBJECTIVE To determine hip, stifle, and tarsal joint ranges of motion (ROM) and angular velocities during swimming and walking in healthy dogs and dogs with surgically corrected cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS 13 healthy dogs and 7 dogs with CCL rupture. PROCEDURE Dogs with CCL rupture were enrolled in a postoperative aquatic rehabilitat...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether there are differences in results when evaluating cervical range of motion (ROM) with radiographic analysis, a bubble goniometer, and a dual inclinometer and whether particular physical parameters are related to cervical ROM. METHODS We evaluated the cervical ROM of 115 volunteers with each of the 3 clinical methods. Tape measurements of neck girth, distance from...

In this paper, we discuss how to construct secure cryptosystems and secure hash functions in weakened random oracle models. The weakened random oracle model (WROM), which was introduced by Numayama et al. at PKC 2008, is a random oracle with several weaknesses. Though the security of cryptosystems in the random oracle model, ROM, has been discussed sufficiently, the same is not true for WROM. A...

STUDY DESIGNBlinded randomized controlled trial.INTRODUCTIONIt is generally accepted that heat is beneficial for improving range of motion (ROM). However, the mechanism of action is not clearly understood, and the optimal method of heat application has not been established.PURPOSE OF THE STUDYTo investigate the immediate effects of using a moist hot pack (MHP) vs therapeutic whirlpool bath (WB)...
