Many studies have investigated the kinematics of sports skills with the majority describing the kinematics of the technique or investigating significant kinematic variables that affect performance. Many sports skills are complex three-dimensional movements involving many joints. However, few studies have investigated the relationships between kinematic variables during performance of such skill...

When a manipulator suuers a joint failure, its performance can be signiicantly affected. If the failed joint is locked, the resulting manipulator Jacobian is given by the original Jacobian, except that the column associated with the failed joint is removed. The rank of the resulting Jacobian then determines if the manipulator still has the ability to perform arbitrary end-eeector motions. Unfor...

Ductile design and detailing provisions were revised in 2016 by the Bureau of Indian Standards. It introduced Strong Column Weak Beam Provision (SCWB) for beam-column joint. In this paper, an attempt is done to investigate influence SCWB provision on Longitudinal Rebar Quantity (LRQ) typical columns i.e. Corner Column, Edge Middle seismic Zones III, IV, V six-story buildings. Story-wise variati...

Coupling of spine and hip joints during full body reaching tasks was investigated in 16 participants (8 male and 8 female) who performed reaching tasks at comfortable and fast-paced movement speeds to three targets located in a para-sagittal plane. The participants paused at target contact for 500ms and then returned to an upright posture. Three-dimensional joint motions of the spine and hip we...

The 22 modifier is a Current Procedural Terminology code modifier that allows surgeons to receive additional reimbursement for complex procedures. The goal of this study was to evaluate the rate of, time to, and factors affecting reimbursement for 22-modifier cases filed by orthopedic surgeons. The authors reviewed the charts and billing data of the 150 noncharity spine and total joint replacem...

Lisfranc fracture dislocations are an often misdiagnosed injury pattern, which if left unreduced can lead to signifi cant disability (1-5). The articulation between the bases of the 5 metatarsals, cuneiforms, and cuboid has been termed the Lisfranc joint (6, 7). Lisfranc joint represents a junction between the forefoot and the midfoot. Three functional columns make up the tarsometatarsal area, ...

The behavior of the web panel zone has a direct effect on cyclic performance steel moment connections. While mechanisms failure are known under load, little is about bidirectional loads in bolted Using experimental tests and calibrated numerical models, this research evaluated unidirectional loads. results showed that load can modify stress strain distribution zone. Moreover, increasing width-t...

This paper describes an experimental investigation into the influence of beam reinforcement detailing, column axial load and shear on joint strength reinforced concrete external beam-column connections. A series twelve specimens were tested in three groups four specimens. Series 1 investigated anchorage type bend radius. 2 studied while 3 intermediate bars reinforcement. The presents results co...
