Abstract In the environment of CleanSky2 project ecoTECH, INVENT developed an alternative sustainable aircraft interior item. The main objective ecoTECH is to explore new solutions reduce environmental footprint components during their global lifecycles and make these available aviation industry. Workpackage Biomaterial a/c Interior Demonstrator leads development a drawer box as exemplary part,...

The history of anthropology has tended towards two extremes in its analyses of the works of Franz Boas: aggrandizement or underestimation. This disparity can be explained by the author's liminal relationship with two research approaches in anthropology: universalist theories (evolutionism, difussionism, racialism, etc.) and culturalist theories, prevalent between the late nineteenth and early t...

The increase of distributed embedded systems has enabled pervasive sensing, actuation, and information displays across buildings surrounding environments, yet also entreats huge cost expenditure for energy human labor maintenance. Our daily interactions, from opening a window to closing drawer twisting doorknob, are great potential sources but often neglected. Existing commercial devices harves...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com episode of instability with occasional episodes of locking. Other joints were normal. On clinical examination there was a mild swelling of the right knee joint, with retro-patellar tenderness. Results of Lachman test, anterior and posterior drawer tests, and varus and valgus stress tests were normal. Radiographic findings suggested a normal report (...

During side-step cutting, all the monitored muscles were recruited simultaneously reflecting co-contraction. Conversely, during split-step cutting, rectus femoris was initially recruited, followed by synchronous vastii and medial hamstrings onset and then lateral hamstring muscle onset. Although there were subtle differences in onset, the hamstrings ceased activity earlier than the quadriceps m...

Introduction The Columbus laboratory, planned for launch in 2004, will accommodate the following multiuser facilities: – Biolab – Fluid Science Laboratory (FSL) – European Physiology Modules (EPM) – European Drawer Rack (EDR) – European Stowage Rack (ESR) – Materials Science Laboratory (MSL). of activities such as fundamental physics, solidification physics (e.g. crystal growth, metallurgy), ph...

We introduce an ultrasound elastography method for examining the ACL. It consisted of imaging the distal ACL while applying a drawer test and analyzing the resulting displacement and strain maps, where a map refers to how a variable is distributed spatially throughout an image. Our method was applied to healthy knees of cadaveric sheep to determine whether 1) our method can consistently generat...

Publication bias, sometimes known as the "file-drawer problem" or "funnel-plot asymmetry," is common in empirical research. The authors review the implications of publication bias for quantitative research synthesis (meta-analysis) and describe existing techniques for detecting and correcting it. A new approach is proposed that is suitable for application to meta-analytic data sets that are too...
