One method of assessing the potential efficacy of various clinical treatments is the use of computational modelling. Previous modelling studies have indicated that ideal muscle activation patterns could produce a better immediate corrective pattern than bracing . This would suggest that there is great potential in electrical stimulation, but compared with bracing, and with a general lack of cli...

in recent years, seismic evaluation and vulnerability of the existing buildings, that have been designed based on an earlier seismic design code or designed without seismic design criteria, has been very important. in this paper, the seismic evaluation and vulnerability of concrete buildings, using an old 5- story building with shear walls as an example has been discussed. for this building, fi...

The seismic-resistant structure is required for the earthquake-hazard area. One of systems Concentrically Braced Frame (CBF), which was established to diminish seismic damage. At time implementation, CBF reduces horizontal deformations building so that failure as well heavy damage can be avoided. In CBF, brace energy dissipator, whose performance needs enhanced. This study discussed structural ...

The purpose of this study was to compare 1 repetition maximum (1RM) strength, maximum power (MP), linear momentum (Mp), and the loads of 1RM responsible for maximum power (MP%) and for linear momentum (Mp%) generated in explosive concentric bench press (CBP) motion among athletes from different sports. A total of 56 athletes (13 sprinters, 16 basketball players, 16 handball players, 5 volleybal...

Over the years, working in various roles, I have done quite a lot of work in the area of team facilitation and conflict resolution. Sometimes this has been with groups of doctors like general practitioners (GPs) who are not getting along with each other. These days, a lot of my work is with teams of hospital doctors who are having difficulty in balancing their clinical and training obligations....

In this paper, the geometric relationship between mosaic images for concentric panorama acquired by slit cameras along circular paths is considered. A concentric epipolar constraint is derived for mosaic images. It is shown how the concentric epipolar constraint can be used to calibrate the slit camera using point correspondences in two mosaic images. The concentric epipolar constraint is furth...
